Re: New AeroPod/PowerPod CdA app for Garmin devices

Yes, an option to reduce to 2 fields for the PowerPod would be awesome.

Re: When to recalibrate (tyres / weight)

Yes, I think you understood what I am trying to do: to get some indication of improvements without an AeroPod (or specifically, getting a DFPM anyway). My thought that this could work as based on seeing Isaac split up the power data into aero and rolling resistance. Of course it would need fairly re...

PBK should be selling very recent models now, without the need for any upgrade key.
I'll email you the serial so you can verify what's up.

Re: Want to buy it Europe

Note that probikekit.co.uk is still selling old versions (that won't work on macOS without paying extra).

Re: Garmin IQ apps - data fields for PP ?

Assuming that the current implementation of the field just displays the ANT values and doesn't contain any secret sauce, have you considered open sourcing it? Or is the problem you want to avoid the current (not-yet-standardized) format from spreading by making it public. I'm fairly sure I can manag...

Re: Garmin IQ apps - data fields for PP ?

To be fair, our existing ConnectIQ app provides our power meter owners current wind, slope, and power information. The connectIQ app also shows (fixed) values of CdA and time advantage. It is not a good use of our development resources to write another app that just deletes the CdA and Time Advanta...

When to recalibrate (tyres / weight)

My understanding is that the O&B ride mostly configures the Wind Speed Factor, and everything else is automatically calibrated/adjusted the first 90 seconds of each ride. During the configuration I had to set a tire inflation (which I'm guessing is used to guess Crr?). Is this something that is ...

Re: Power drops to 0 pedaling downhill?

There's other topics that are similar to this: https://velocompforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=93&t=5465 I went on my first ride with a PowerPod today and this was also something that felt strange. It's very hard to get watts when going downhill. I have no power meter to reference to (the one on my tr...
