Negative Braking Value
I have set up my Powerpod to best accuracy on two bikes. Power curve very similar to data from DFPM over last 6 weeks. I'm intrigued though that I get negative values for energy spent on braking. Happens with both bikes, example stats attached. Both routes were round trips with a few small hills. Does this suggest I have set something up wrongly?

Re: Negative Braking Value
"Braking" is the energy you spent by applying the brakes. If you never apply the brakes, then this number will be around zero.

Re: Negative Braking Value
Thanks John. The stats on page 16 of the Issac Software PDF have a positive value of +14 KJ but the example on Page 15 is -19.3 KJ and is referenced in the text. Makes more sense to me now.

Wow, you are a careful reader!
The image on page 16 is from a very old version of Isaac software, "iBike 3". We've updated things since then...
Page 15 of Isaac does show a negative value...
We will update the instructions!
