AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

I'd like to revisit this topic. My new Powerpod V5 mount doesn't really stop at any point in the rotation except at the fully rotated positions as per the attached photos. It does 'catch' along the way where there's more resistance but that can be overcome without a lot of force. That's photo "...

I've installed the Coospo speed/cadence sensor, paired it with the PowerPod and did a cal ride followed by a road ride on a familiar route. I've attached the ride file and the new profile. It's not clear if the new sensors have eliminated the speed drop-outs entirely as there are a few places in the...

I've ordered a 'Coospo' magnet-based speed/cadence sensor. I hope this will clear up the speed drop-outs. How do I go about re-doing the sensor pairing? The V5 instruction video for pairing says to press/hold for 4 seconds to get the device to search for the new sensors. Does that still apply for th...

The speed sensor is a Cycplus accelerometer-type sensor mounted on the rear hub because I've got a generator hub on the front. I've changed the battery and redid the cal ride then went for a longer ride to check it out. There seems to be fewer speed drop-outs when I view the ride file at a '2 km' ra...

Upon closer inspection of the ride files, it seems like the speed drop-outs are not all big ring shifts as the event happens at low speed. Instead, it could be a careful down-shift from the big ring in order to avoid dropping the chain. As far as I can tell, these events are always accompanied by a ...

Thanks for reviewing my ride files and your analysis and comments. I'll try to address some of your remarks. Regarding the speed dropouts, I set the scale to '2 km' and scrolled through both ride files. Every time there is a speed dropout, it doesn't go to 0. The speed dips a bit and so do power and...

Here are the photos. I took shots from the front and side for both configurations to illustrate that there are no obstructions in the bar mounted position and to show the gap between the PP and fork in the fork mounted position. It's not a big gap so I think the PP V5 would not work in a fork mount ...

That ride file was from a ride where the Powerpod was mounted on the fork. I've remounted it on the handlebar and have done a cal ride followed by a road ride that I've done before with the PP mounted on the fork. The ride files and profile are attached. If you change the scale of the charts to 'km'...

It's a cheap wireless magnetless speed sensor (accelerometer type) made by CycPlus (China). I have it mounted on the rear hub because I've got a generator hub on the front and the sensor band is too short to go around the hub. I think I might have had interference from the hub as well so I moved it ...

Here's a recent ride file with the PP V1 mounted on the fork.

I hope the OP is still on this forum as the original post is over 4 years old. I'd like to know what version of PP that these results were recorded on because it doesn't correlate with my experience using the Shockstop stem and a PP V2. I could never get the power reading to smooth out during a ride...

I mounted the PP in the living room of my apartment and the floor is level. I tried checking it again with a digital level but there is no horizontal line on the PP V2 so it's hard to be sure that I had the level exactly level with the bottom of the lettering on the device. Given there may be a marg...

Sorry to belabor the point, but if the tilt can go out of range on an out-and-back ride, there must be some real world influence on that internal value. On the ride that went out of range, I recall that the tilt went to -4.2 when I tried to analyze the calibration. I guess that's my main concern wit...

It's hard to tell, I've tried riding with the dynamo off and then on but the terrain where I ride is rolling hills so it's difficult to correlate. What I can say that when the dynamo is on and I spin the wheel by hand it slows down much quicker than when the dynamo is off, so there's definitely some...

My PP profile for my Specialized Roubaix (2015 has a riding tilt of -3.6 which is perilously close to being out of range. I did have a ride recently where the tilt went over -4 so I couldn't adjust my profile using that ride if I wanted to. There isn't much of a discussion in the May 2020 edition of...

Hi Escobar, Did you find that you needed to make adjustments to the PP profile for your bike with the hub dynamo? I also have a hub dynamo on my Specialized Roubaix and I tend to have it on all the time as I think it makes me more visible. I have a Shutter Precision SV-8 hub which has a quite high e...
