Re: Calibration Check

I did a hour long pavement ride today on this same bike to help get a baseline auto cal had it correct selected 0.00851 crr which matched up perfectly with my power curves for the efforts. These test were done with the Bontrager GR1 Team Issue Gravel Tire 700x40c inflated to recommended PSI 45-50.

Re: Calibration Check

Are you just manually changing your CRR. I'm not seeing any other road surfaces other than varying asphalt and concrete. Plan on doing a gravel ride tomorrow and would like to setup another file for gravel. I set it manually after calibration, this is the process I used: (Complete a regular auto ca...

Re: Calibration Check

Errantwind: Thanks for the information, I guess I need to go in and setup ride files for both gravel and road. I ride a gravel bike with tubeless specialized 42mm Pathfinder Pro tires set at 44 psi ( rear) and 39 psi (front) on pavement and 40 psi and 35 on gravel. I have been primarily riding pave...

Re: Calibration Check

Re: Calibration Check

Hard pack gravel and dirt is where I ride its a 50 mile trail and I am using this bike at 35-40psi in the tires. I do use the bike on road sometimes too so I plan to have a sep calibration and profile for those rides.
