Excessive front wind readings

Post by bfermar2 »

I beg you to check the last route. There are sections with excessive front wind readings, which causes, I think, those unreal power peaks. Do you consider it normal? The O & B calibration, according to your kind previous review, seems to be fine. Can a malfunction of the wind sensor be ruled out?

Your wind scaling is a bit high but not extremely so.

I used the "Check Calibration" command to adjust your ride (which is, in some sense, a huge out and back ride.

Climbing up to the midpoint you had a tail wind; descending it was a headwind.

On the descent your watts do jump some, but this may be because you were in a slight tuck, which would cause your speed to increase.

I think your PP is fine.

Hello John, I see that in the corrected profile you sent me, the "Riding Tilt" was changed from -0.1 original to -0.2. Is that correct or is it a small mistake? I believed that this value depends directly on the position of the Powerpod in the O & B calibration
I ask for information about it.

This is a very minor correction made by Isaac. No need to worry about it.
