My powerpod is mounted beneath my garmin mount via a gopro adapter. I don't have any need to remove either from my bike so this has been a good setup for me since I have aerodynamically shaped handlebars and the included mount wont work. Today while waiting for someone at the top of a climb I sort of leaned over my bike in such a way that I believe I might have moved my garmin mount ever so slightly downward. It looks the same but it felt a bit like it "gave" when I was leaning over the front end. Also, the readings I had once I started pedaling after the descent were very low. However there are some extenuating circumstances.
- The wait for the rest of the group and the conversation that followed was more than 20 minutes and the powerpod shut down.
Since it was a technical descent I didn't pay any attention to the fact that I had no power readings during that time.
Once I started the powerpod again I was already riding and once it started giving me a number it was 0 for a couple minutes.
Once it actually showed me some numbers it was less than 100 watts and I was climbing at a decent effort and I weigh 195 lbs.
It's too soon to tell if my powerpod is seemingly accurate but other than today it hasn't been too outrageous to be believed. I get some very high numbers on occasion so I'm not sure what to think just yet. I think my position might be more aerodynamically efficient than the options available. I ride on the hoods with primarily straight arms but I have quite a drop from saddle to bars. I'm just a week into this so I'm still getting familiar.
