AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

I like your humor ;) Ok - your are right - I should sit on the bike. And yes - on my tt bike there will be a lot of weight on the front wheel which leads to the wrong measurd hill-slope - sounds logical. And beside all my questions: I am happy with the newton and isaac and keep in mind: I am your br...

I know - I come up with the same question over and over again. ;-) But - there is something I do not understand what I like to understand: EVERY time I come back from a ride, I check the tilt cal WITH THE HILL-FUNCTION on a flat floor in our house. Every time there is a mistake: One direction 1% -18...

... but you give always very good advices! ;-) And to discuss this item from different point of views can´t be wrong. @Tribike: Yes, haven´t found this Chart anymore. THIS is helpfull! Beside this I created a "TSS Calculator" in Excel. If you are interested in it, I can send it in an email...

Dear Fernando, many thanks for your analysis and your feedback. Yes - you are right - 0.8 as IF isn´t that bad for 180k. So my learnings for the next year: 1. I have to lose weight (lower watts on Inclines) ;-) 2. I have to increase my FTP (from 240 to 270 or 280 would be fine), The goal is to do th...

Thx tribike - I know very well what NP and average power is (I have the book of cogan too ;-)) - and on a flat course (look the attached file) it is "easy" to keep the watts. But on the course of the Challenge roth I don´t know, how to do it - because there are so many "little" h...

Dear Fernando (and other interested people), many thanks for your answer in the other thread - I had no chance to answer and say "thank you" during my journey to "Challenge Roth" - which is the best long-distance-Triathon in the world. I did the 180k bike part there in a relay. A...

You´ve seen my "mounting system with RWS" in the other thread already ;-) I have the stear tube mounting with the rws on the handlebars ... http://www.ibikeforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=27&t=1606 But many thanks for your answer and will to help!!! I think - yes, the profile(s) are fine. Bu...

road bike ride file from hilly course with tilt cal out of range and mathcing profile

...

more files

Here are all files (don´t hit me - I switched the profile on the "screwed day" ) If it is to much to analyze I don´t worry if you don´t do it. And in issac the files look better than that I told you - the tilt cal was out of range often ... )

Many thanks for your answers Jon and sorry, if I sound impatient. Yes - I am impatient, but time is running. ;-) I will send the files this evening. But NO - it was much easier what I´ve done and I didn´t switch so much buttons: First Day: Just used my newton on a hilly course - but here and then I ...

Would be nice, if someone (of Velocomp) would answer ...

Thank you "TriBike" - helfpfull answers and I will fix my RWS as best as possible. And yes - you are right - my solution isn´t the best for everyone .. and yours not for me, because I have my "bottle" between the handlebars and so there is no chance to catch the side wind ... Tha...

A few questions: 1. What is the temperature-difference that makes a new wind-cal neccessary? 2. After I done the cal-ride procedure and the fine-tune "dial in" procedure (after I uploaded the cal-ride) I was not asked if I use the RWS or not. Doesn´t it has any influence on anything? (only...

Thoughts on my post above? ...

Dear Russ and Ken - many thanks. you gave me some good arguments for purchase the upgrade!!!

Dear Velocomp,

would be nice, if you answer my questions above!

thank you!

Hi, I created my own RWS-System and like to ask you some questions about it (have a look at the pictures below) 1. Why don´t you offer a special tool to install the RWS (for example between the handlebars ... ) 2. How much influence on wind scaling etc have LITTLE changes of the RWS (for example if ...

Fernando?! I think about an upgrade to newton +. I am not so much interested in the powerstroke thing because I think that most the time in the relevant riding position (triathlon) my stroke and movements are not so bad. I had some tests in the past (ONLY Pressure measurement IN the shoes + DFPM on ...

Yes - I forgot to raise the FTP (last week you suggested to raise it on 250). And this ride felt more less under my FTP than last week - and there were some corners on very wet and slippy streets - so I slowed down very often during the ride. The reason why the VI is a bit higher (but still lower as...

Dear Fernando, the latest ridefifle - fresh from a very small triathlon with 1500 swim, 37 bike and 10k run. If I was complaining about wind last week, I have to complaine about this hard and very gusty wind today. It was the first time that I had difficulties to hold my trispoke + disc on the road....

Many thanks again. And I follow your suggestion - I will leave the profile as it is and won´t do a new cal ride. I realise that I always asking myself, if the ibike is really working proper and I dialed it in in the right way - therefore it is good to hear your words (again and again ;-)): LEAVE the...

Dear Fernando, last time you analysed my ride file perfectly and gave me very helpful comments. Therefore I like to ask you again to have a view on my ride file from today - an olympic triathlon. First of all: It was a 8km round course with one 180 degree turn and a few corners at the other end of t...

AND I have often 0km rides in my download list ... ?

I had the same thing yesterday. A few things happened - But I am very sorry, that I don´t know anymore, if I know the order in which the errors occured: First: Last week I realised, that after I switched the profile in the device and asked for "download ride data" it showed me many rides I...

I had exact the same problem one day. I wanted to create a new profile for my race setup and therefore I did a new cal ride. After 5 minutes it immediatly switched to the standard screen and thats it. When I was home again I read the manual again and realised that an error occured there outside. I r...

Many thanks Fernando - for the congrats, your comments and your explanations. This is very helpfull. To be honest: Yes, I start loving my Newton. In the winter and spring when I did a lot of GA1 rides it was a "nice to have" tool. But now, when I started with 2x20 and other exercises and o...

To be honest - in this file you can´t see it very well, that my watts went up in the tailwind sections ... strange - during the right it looked different

Please explain what you mean if you say "its easier to maintain a given effort"?

And here is the ride file

Dear Fernando ;-) and all other iBike user, yesterday I had a 70.3 Triathlon and it was very very windy!!! I haven´t downloaded the race-data yet, but I realised in the competition something I like to discuss: Before the race I decided to go with round about 210 to 220 watts. I did so in the headwin...
