How *Exactly* are you determing CdA from your tests?

As far as I can tell, the only straightforward way to review data from CdA tests is to click on "Tools-CdA Analysis," which brings up a graphic chart that includes CdA. To determine CdA for a given lap, I need to use my mouse and select the "lap" that I am interested in. But this...

Re: Aeropod v2

Yes, TT bike. I moved back and forth between the base bars and TT extensions a decent amount to see the affect that would have on CdA shown in the Garmin Connect app, but it didn't seem to have much effect, and if anything it seemed like CdA moved the opposite direction of what it should have, e.g. ...

Re: Aeropod v2

I'm pretty sure I have more very odd ride files from this morning, because once again the calibration ride seemed to work, i.e. watts went 0 to 50, I stopped, light was solid red when I turned around and stopped, restarted and watts went to 70, continued until they reached 100, continued for some ti...

Re: Aeropod v2

I don't think it worked, but here is what I see in the "iBike Rides" folder from this morning.

Aeropod v2

I'm not sure I'll get my Aeropod to work. I tried pairing, calibration ride, etc but I \got wonky "CdA" reading in Garmin Connect during and after these efforts and the Isaac software seem to indicate that CdA was not a "Signal Available in Current Ride File." I'll try again, the...

Pairing with multiple powermeters

OK I have what admittedly is a fringe use case. I have crank PMs on all my bikes, including my TT bike. But I understand that for CdA measurement, it is best to measure power as far downstream as possible, e.g. at the hub, in order to eliminate variation due to variable drivetrain losses (e.g. drive...

Re: TT bike mounting

Yeah I have a bunch of those adhesive GoPro mounts and the Aeropod is definitely very light, much lighter than a GoPro. Let us know how it works out for you.

Re: TT bike mounting

It was me! I've been talking to Tom. He's suggested I use the gopro flat adhesive mount on the speed concept base bars. Which I guess is the current best option for me. Are you planning on sticking the GoPro mount above (i.e. on top) or below your base bar? If would seem the latter would keep the A...

Re: TT bike mounting

Is there a mounting option for bars like this, which don't use bolts in the base bar? This seems to be the direction more and more aero bars are going.

Re: TT bike mounting

So I take it the Velocomp combo mount is not suitable? That is what I planned to use, as shown in the photo below: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1976/44359447085_1bd19f9eaf_z.jpg So first question is, are you saying that mounting on the extensions will not work due to vibration? This would seem to ...

Re: USB connection - form factor is not Micro-USB

OK I figured it out. The cable goes in, you just have to eyeball the pins to make sure you are not connecting it upside down. The "standard" trapezoid Micro-USB form factor ensures you do this, as the cable will not fit in upside down.

USB connection - form factor is not Micro-USB

So I received my 4 units yesterday: https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1945/44504824834_116934d21a_o.jpg Sent an email to my three friends who purchased with me and then opened mine up. Instructions say first thing, charge the unit. Makes sense, here we go. Oops, problem. While the box includes a standa...
