PP on Trainer- TACX VORTEX Smart on Zwift with Powermatch

Hi, I have recently bought a TACX Vortex Smart Indoor trainer for zwifting. Zwift now allows powermatch feature by which it can use power data from the powermeter rather than from trainer so that the power value will not vary greatly from outdoor and indoor rides. Is it possible to configure PP with...

Re: Autocalibration after bike fit

This was a fully drafting ride but it was a Under and Over intervals and i have clocked as close to 40kmph in the over the FTP part but still the avg power was only 109w because of which my calorie burn was too low too iBike_16_03_2017_0504_48_km_Drashkum_HiDef.ibr Does the drafting bring the power ...

Re: Autocalibration after bike fit

Hi john, I have been doing consistent rides after i did the calibration of PP with 6.21 FW. I have been constantly getting very low power numbers when compared to earlier times. I have been drafting a couple of times and a few times solo but i am not sure if everything is ok. I ride a course where t...

Re: Autocalibration after bike fit

Perfection! Thank you John. I think with this settled profile I am not going to touch or tweak the PP for long long time unless I upgrade the bike. Gonna concentrate on the training and focus on increasing the ft. I think with the FW 6.21 cal ride algorithms you guys have taken the PP to a whole ne...

Re: Separate speed and cadence sensor pairing?

You most definitely can pair with both sensors. If you have installed FW 621, when you pair the PP will indicate pairing to your cadence sensor with 3 flashes of the red light. Then, when pairing is complete the light will show solid green. Be aware that the magnet less cadence sensor takes some ti...

Re: Autocalibration after bike fit

No, it was a out and back solo ride to the same place. No group or drafting behind cyclists. May be here and there for a few seconds behind buses when they cross me. That's all. What should I do now?. Again cal ride using 6.21fw in new format? :(

Autocalibration after bike fit

I had a dialed in profile which i was using. I had a advanced bike fit session with Bjorn Suetens yesterday and he has raised the stem a bit higher with a small spacer and had put in a 100 mm stem and fixed the handlebar with PP. Since he did not touch the powerpod/ Handlebar and just mounted the ha...

Re: Firmware 6.21: Optional Calibration Ride

A query

The calibration ride for highest accuracy after 6.21 firmware update has to be done after loading the already dialled in profile or on a new profile?

Hi, As advised by you , i did a ride today with the updated profile you had sent. It was a 38km ride out and back to same place , solo (no drafting), on hoods. It is overestimating now, I rode predominantly in zone 4 but nowhere near a ITT effort and it gave me a new FTP of 230W in 20mins and avg po...
