Tailwind

Post by bfermar »

In almost all the routes predominates, I think artificially, the tailwind. Could it be due to the wind scaling present in the profile? Should I do another calibration? I made a couple of changes regarding the profile obtained in the round trip (CdA, and Crr) but did not modify the Wind Scaling
Any suggestions?

Regards

Is this a solo ride?

Assuming that this is a solo ride, then your wind scaling is incorrect.

I've made an adjustment to your profile.

Load this into your PP and post your next ride file.

The route was made with two more companions. I guess that's why the drafting strokes appear.
I'll try the new profile.
Thank you very much

I send another route with another profile, for a second bike, which suffers from the same problem with the tailwind. Interestingly, the incorrect wind scaling is very similar in the two profiles, after the O & B calibration.
Please analyze this second profile.
As soon as I test the first corrected profile I will upload the test route
Many thanks
Regards

Commenting on this second route, that on returning (kms 50 to 62), the wind against was quite strong, something that is not reflected in the route file

Please do a short (10KM) out and back, solo ride. This will be the best thing to use for analysis.

I am sending you the latest O & B calibration for one of the bikes. Please check the files, is everything ok?
Is the wind sensor working well?

It looks like you were riding on a windy day. If this is correct, then you are fine!
