AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Thanks Velocomp I will go ahead and do a new cal. Then see how it operates I have a question regarding the cal ride. As mentioned, I live in very ondulating hilly area and it is almost impossible for me to find a long flat stretch to do calrides. I have to drive at least an hour down to do it We hav...

Thank you I had posted this issue that I thought was drafting and a gentleman at the time (Racerfern, Fernando) had mentioned to check a wind port issue I redid many calibration rides afterwards but didn't seem to fix Most of rides last summer were in the mountains so it worked great uphill and was ...

Hi there I have been using the iBike Newton for over a year and LOVE it. It has been very consistent. When I download and read the files, it shows a lot of wind to my "back" but not head wind which I know I have encountered a lot. My last cal ride was done this summer and I can upload the ...

Thank you very much John I did what you said and it actually "revived" the heart monitor. The ibike did detect it, but after few miles the heart monitor started to give me eroneous readings and then just stuck on same number. you were exactly right, it seems this strap is gone I bought thi...

Hi there I started to get some weird reading from my heart monitor and figured it was the battery. It alsways has been working great for 7 month. It is a Garmin basic heart rate wirelss with strap (ant compatible of course) I put a brand new battery. The ibke newton now says "HRT monitor OFF&qu...

Thank you so much Fernando, you are so incredibly helpful. (I have to say, better than tech support in my opinion)

I will try to do this in the next 2 days and email you the information. Probably Wednesday AM, as i will do the Cal ride very early with minimum wind

Thanks again

Ok Fernando, I will do a brand new out and back (I am getting tired of doing those as it take me 45 mn to drive to a flat enough area, otherwise, I don;t have a 2 miles flat road around here. (Unless you tell me it is ok to do the out and back on a road that has some small% hills(like 3 %max) here a...

Hi Fernando, here is one very short 6 mn time trial ride I did on my own with the same everything setup and no changes

Thank you very much

Thank you very much Fernando Answers to your questions: 1) Is your Newton on the stem or on the handlebar? I have the Newton on the handle bar. It hasn't changed since my last cal ride 2) Did you really draft the entire ride?? Assuming no, it's obvious either the wind sensor is blocked, or somehow t...

Hi there I love my ibike and is fantastic training tool. But unfortunately I doubt its readings when drafting in big group rides after this AM... This morning I went on 53 mile ride and there was ZERO wind at 7:30 AM. The wetaher forecast posted 5 mph average later during the day I drafted most of t...

Thank you very much Fernando. Your inputs are always well detailed and very helpful I totally agree on everything you said. I am just a bit of a different rider and I climb a lot and just can;t stand long rides on flat terrains as I get bored quickly :-). I do about 30% of of out of saddle during cl...

Hi I need to know how much discrepancy am i getting on my watts reading if I am constantly changing position on my typical ride I am NOT a flat terrain rider. I live in mountainous and rolling hill where is it up, down, flat and I change my position from hoods, to drops, to hoods elbow bent, to off ...

Sorry for the late reply But I had done a new cal ride went home and THEN updated to new firmware After that things went south I got an email from tech support, and now that I have the new firmware, I will go and do another cal ride (post firmware update)and let you know if that fixes things, which ...

But I had done a new cal ride went home and THEN updated to new firmware
After that things went south
I got an email from tech support, and now that I have the new firmware, I will go and do another cal ride and let you know if that fixes things

Thanks again

Wow I was pulling my hair out and emailed tech support yesterday as I experienced the same thing Really odd behavior, no watts, very low watts, crazy high watts in descent and thought I had a defective unit I will try the above and see if it fixes it. The ibike was working flawlessly before I did th...

That is awesome and i will buy one as soon as it goes on sale
As a matter of fact I would love to pre order one

Thank you everyone!

There have been 93 views but not one answer Hello VELOCOMP is anyone home? :-) I would appreciate an answer as this was on your facebook page or is it A SECRET? :-) In all seriousness, this would be VERY helpful to me...I am willing to pay for this special bracket, just need to know how it is done? ...

I wish someone would answer my question about having the dual purpose mount in front of the handle bar like a SRM unit
Please take a look at my post from few weeks ago... as THIS HS BEEN DONE WITH IBIKE by a bike racer on YOUR facebook page.
Can you please let me know what he is using?

Hi there I just saw a pic on the ibike page of a racer at Delray Twilight, with ibike monted just like a SRM in front of the stem . This is an ideal location for me as i am constantly looking at my power . This would be a big plus (I LOVE the ibike newton i purchased in December but not the mount). ...

Thank you very much. This is indeed very helpful!
I will try those suggestions then.

Cheers

I am new to this and let me state that I agree 100%
I won't mind AT ALL spending time doing great calibration exercise to get the best results and most accuracy possible. (That is If indeed Calibration is that critical to accuracy)

I asked and received an iBike Newton for Christmas. I have few questions about calibration and forgive me if they are basic 1)I live in a very hilly Northern GA area, so difficult to find flat roads unless I go to the highway. Does the Calibration ride HAVE TO be on a perfectly flat road. Can few pe...
