Hi John.

Well, it was good while it lasted.

Today I went on a ride and after 16 km, in a 9% hill, PP started to show the same symptoms again: low power with increasing effort with long 0 power readings and a 1581 max power reading on a downhill!

I turned it off and on again and it continued. I only managed to download the second ride before I turned it off (9km). It seems that there is something wrong with the wheel/wind reading.

I tried it this afternoon with the other bikes/ sensors for 2 short laps and it was the same...

I attached the file.

Regards.

Managed to download the start of the ride: problems started around km 15,8.

Just to make sure: the PP didn't move from its original position (letters paralell to the floor) and there was nothing blocking the wind portal.

Were you riding in the rain? It looks like the wind sensor became blocked.

Hi again John.

Before the ride I rinsed the PP portal and let it dry.

Then I started the ride and I think everything is back to normal :D

Maybe some kind of bug was inside or something...

I´ve got my little magic box back and all is well!

Take a look at the ride and give me some feedback just to make sure.

Best regards.
