Re: Powerpod has stopped working

My Powerpod V3 has stopped working. A couple of weeks ago nothing happened when I pressed the button, so I thought maybe the battery was dead and for some reason Garmin hadn't given me the normal low battery warning. I plugged it in to charge it and got the normal flashing green light followed by fl...

Re: PowerPod V3 in the Rain

Hi John, When I asked a similar question recently you advised approx level. I have my V3 at 5 degrees which is noticeably pointing downwards. 10 to 20 degrees would be very significantly downwards. Would the PP not think that you are riding downhill and under read at that sort of angle?

Re: PP V3 - How Far Is 'Slightly'

Thank you for the reply.It’s the initial set-up angle that I need some advice on. Once I have that i should be ok.
Used yesterday for the first time and seemed to be reading lower than expected when compared to similar efforts with my old PP.

PP V3 - How Far Is 'Slightly'

As per the title, how far is 'slightly' pointing down? From having to mount my previous V1 PP level, I'm unsure as to what 'slightly' means. I have just measured and my V3 is pointing down by 7 degrees. Is this too much? I assume that at a certain point the PP will assume you are constantly riding d...

Powerpod has stopped working

I turned on my Powerpod this morning (green light) as normal and started my ride, After a few minutes (completion of the beginning of the ride calibration) instead of getting normal readings I got zero watts. I also noticed that the device had a solid red light. I assumed (I now think wrongly) that ...

Re: Calibration - please could somebody check for me

Thanks John, I'll upload a file from last year when I get a moment. I was on the hoods 90% of the time (elbows bent) - which is what my profile should be set to. The last hour of my ride is my commute into the centre of London so can be ignored as it will be either with other cyclists or among cars/...

Re: Calibration - please could somebody check for me

John,

Really sorry. I posted the wrong files :-). Those were from a calibration ride exactly a year ago (doh!!).

Attached is the correct file. There doesn't seem to be a separate calibration file - I assume it's the first part of this file.

Thanks

Issues with Repaired PowerPod

I received my repaired PowerPod back last Friday. I am assuming that I have been sent a refurbished PowerPod as a warranty replacement as the PowerPod I received was not my original PowerPod? Since refitting and re-calibrating this PowerPod I have been experiencing issues whereby the readings drop d...

I am pretty sure that my PP is still reading low as according to this I've lost 80 watts since a similar effort in the last 3 weeks. I accept that there may be a slight loss (although I h...

I don't see anything that indicates a calibration problem, so I think your power is correct.
Damn! Not the response I was hoping for 😆😆

Many thanks for looking at the that John. Good to hear that it looks like the issue is resolved. Now I just need to grow a new pair of legs

I have used a fan to dry it and will see if it makes any difference on my way home this evening. Yes, my commute is slightly downhill into work. N...

Powerpod Issues Since Ride in Rain

Hi, please could somebody check the attached ride file from this morning? I have had issues with the Powerpod since I rode for 3/4 hours in the rain on Saturday. Towards the end of the ride Powerpod stopped working properly, giving random readings or 0w at times. I figured this was due to rain in th...

Depending on the type of stem/thickness of face plate you have, you may find you have clearance issues with this mo...

Is it possible to use a standard (stem) mount when using TT ‘ski’s’ or are the powerpod readings likely to get obstructed by bars/hand position etc. I have ordered a specific TT combo mount but it won’t have arrived in time for a couple of TT’s I am riding in the next 7 days.

Re: Suggestions for Combo Mounts for Garmin/Powerpod

Many thanks for the reply. Re: the lack of stop - that's good to know.
I think I will get a Velocomp out front for the race bike and then a cheaper alloy stem mount (minus the stop) for the training bike.

I wonder if it's possible for someone to check the attached file as I think it is showing too high readings for the latter part of the ride.
