AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Well, I am absolutely amazed at how good this is now. Just been out for a few hours with a friend and the power readings really do match very well with what I am feeling. I used the 1.4 Wind Scaling at a CdA of 2.85 and to be honest, I'm probably as close as I'm going to get. The good news now is th...

Hi John You guessed my height exactly right! To explain my maths. Taking the example below screen shot1.png screen shot 1.png Average power was 173.1W of which 132.9W was Aero and 40.2W was everything else HR was 136.8bpm I know on my Turbo at that heart rate I can push around 135W at 137bpm. I know...

Hi John Please find attached file of my 5 laps round a piece of relatively flat dual carriageway. I tried to stay at 28km/h. Gentle wind was coming from North West. The first three laps were in my usual straight arms on hoods and last two were in a bit more aero position. This was with the profile y...

I went out for a ride with the new profile today. Clearly the new CdA is too high so it should be set somewhere in between. I have a bit of relatively flat road between two roundabouts which I'll do some testing on on Sunday evening as there should be little traffic or wind. I have also put a little...

Thanks for the reply and very thorough explanation. From this I will be able to investigate further to tweek the values a little. The purpose of that ride was to stay in zone 2 but I chose too hilly a route, really, and quickly ended up going with HR instead of power as the power wasn't making a lot...

I have been using a PowerPod V4 for some time now. I like the principles of operation and find it a pretty good tool for not overcooking it, when climbing. If I compare my heartrate at particular powers between the powerpod when climbing and my turbo, there is a reasonable correlation. I'm not surpr...
