No power readings for first 10 mins

Post by smitsone »

Hi all,
Over the past few days have noticed that for the first 10 mins or so of a new ride there is no power being displayed on the newton, only speed and cadence, after 10 mins or so the power appears and appears to be okay. I check the elevation prior to each ride and have not changed any set up etc. Any thoughts ????

Could be your tilt calibration is out. Look at the Hill readings next time in the first ten minutes. Chances are it thinks you are going downhill until it does its internal auto correction.

If you've rotated your handlebars, or your mount is not rock-solid tight on the bike, then tilt calibration can be affected.

KenS is right, just ride for a few minutes and all will be well.
