Hi John,
ISAAC is saying that I don't have the "out of the saddle" information in my ride file? Anything what I could change?

Thx
Chris

Very good! Could you briefly explain the settings of the four pre-defined profiles. I assume there have different wind scaling factors, etc. I - and I think most of the users - used the "Setup Newton" option to configure profiles with mounting position, ride weight, etc. to set up differen...

No, you start a new ride. Then you go for a 5 minutes or a bit more (not too long bcs. of changing wind conditions) ride with in best case no traffic and after 5 minutes you go back the exactly same way and stop the ride. Then download the file with ISAAC and choose the calibration check option for ...

Cool! Thanks

It does not make any difference if you're climbing or not during the first 8 minutes; the recalibration process is the same. I noticed that the recalibration values differ from the profile you ride during the calibration. I live in the middle of a hill. When I start upwards the values are more or l...

You need to do an out-and-back ride to get this more accurate.
Even on the same mounting position on different bikes the wind scaling value varies.

In the 1st 8 minutes the PP does a calibration when it is not attached the same way as the ride before.
My experience: If you don't climb in this 8 minutes the power values are too high.

@John: Why do you have a Out-Of-Saddle notification in ISAAC?? I want as well!

Fully agree! I love this 1st hand support and it helped me a lot.

As add. info: John somewhere recommended a out-and-back ride of 5 minutes each direction.

The K-EDGE Combo Mounts are working fine on my bikes. Others are using them here successfully as well. They also look better.
You should also shorten your cables....

Where is the PP mounted? Heandlebar? Then wind scaling 1.5 is too high. 1.4 is better.

You need to do an out-and-back ride to find the right wind scaling value. I had similar issue. The default wind scaling vlaues of 1.4 (handlebar mount) and 1.7 (combo mount) do not always fit exactly. Even same mount on two different bikes might mean you need to use different wind scaling. See my re...

I also struggelt a bit in the beginning with the profiles. From my experience it only works via the "Edit Profile" Option and not via the "Send Profile to Newton" Option. You need to select the profile you want to see/touch in the device (Set Active Profile in Device) - red arrow...

Thanks John for this information. Indeed this helps understanding what's going on.
I really appreciate that you share this kind of information here. I'm more and more happy with having bought the PP even I was a bit skeptical in the beginning.

John, I don't want to argue that this is not the case. Don't get me wrong. ;) But I love to play with the toys and get most out of it :mrgreen: My experience with the combo mount on two different bikes shows that there is still possibility to improve accruacy of the power values if you use the out-a...

Well the mount is quite different from the one you ship with the PP. Therefore I was not sure which value to take. But thanks to this out-and-back possibility it is easy to find out what to use in the end. However, as you can see from the combo experience above the value differ on same mount quite s...

...and last but not least the last (3rd) winter and night ride bike. Wind Scaling factor was adjusted (1.65) too high which could be easily seen from the power values. The out-and-back ride also has shown this directly. Here the PP is mounted next to the lamp head on a seperate K-EDGE mount: http://...

Additional feedback from my side as I did the Out-and-Back ride also with the other bike where I had always the impression that the values are a bit high. On this bike I have also a Combo Mount - also the same K-EDGE. The results are interesting and fit to the obsevations I had. http://up.picr.de/25...

Magnetless Garmin sensors for Speed and Cadence work great - I have them on all my (5 ) bikes.

I did the out-and-back ride today - 6 minutes out and then back (a bit slower due to elevation gain) The outcome is as follows: http://up.picr.de/25290115ob.jpg Ride file is attached. Even I thought already 1.7 wind scaling is a bit too much (therefore I used 1.65) ISAAC wants me even to increase wi...

Thanks for this additional information. What is the best duration for an out-and-back ride?

Thanks for confirmation! That is good news and makes it easy.

I had same issue and very low power values on descents.

Check the Wind Scaling value in the Profile. There is a bug in ISAAC which sets it to 1.000 by default when you create a new profile.
This is far too low and should be either 1.4 for handle bar mount PP and 1.7 (I use 1.65) for Combo mount.

John, I noticed that 5) can be skipped. After successful pairing and spinning the wheel the calibration process starts automatically.

I found a way to switch bikes while the PP is active. Holding button for 4 seconds starting pairing process and works to switch sensors. Also after the ride the other profile is active. It seems that if calibration has been done already, new pairing does only switch sensors but does not trigger new ...

What can I do when I have to switch bikes during the time the PP is switched on? Can I change somehow (without PC) the active profile or does the PP notice that with the sensor IDs?

Not good to hear you PP is broken. Thanks for your offer to test. Seeing the gap now between you two values and considering your wind scaling of 1.325 it could be fine if you increase wind scaling to correct value. Btw, I checked now on several rides and from my best guess and the comparison with my...

Under "Reset Profile/Device" you can do that.

Page 49 in the manual of ISAAC: http://www.ibikesports.com/wp-content/u ... 15_red.pdf

I extracted the profile from PP. To my surprise, the wind scaling was 1.325, instead of 1.7. Very interesting, especially you have the possibility to compare with another powermeter. May I ask you to repeat that with the wind scaling set to 1.7 (or 1.6 which I found out to be the better value for t...
