AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

You's done found your roller snob right here. I have an ancient set of American classics (6 1.25" drums: 2 for the front wheel, 4 for the rear), which provide such ridiculous levels of resistance that they make me ride outside in all but the worst conditions. Over the years, though, I've learne...

aerobars, always. followed by an aero helmet. then wheels--and the front's more important than the rear.

Guess: temperature changes throwing off the elevation for the unit--then the tilt correction kicks in. Run the "analyze power" thing under tools (and in preferences choose the option that lets you see "before" and "after" tilts--odds are that you'll see the elevation (g...

I'm not sure how much help I can provide, but it might make a difference what sort of PT hardware you have. The PT hub sensor does provide an estimated cadence, BUT the wired pt mount also accepts a cadence sensor. I'm not certain, but I have to think that the wireless pt also supports a wireless ca...

First: the crankset issue is sort of a red-herring: find the arms that work best (and 165 is probably too short unless she's 5'2" or something). Really, compact cranks are only necessary for extreme climbing situations, and unless the bike legs of these tris involve 10 mile passes, there's no n...

I ride in west Texas, home to some of the largest wind farms in the world. I suppose you could call it chronically windy here, too. In my experience out here, the ibike does not have a problem with wind gusts--its sensors seem to be sensitive enough, and the calculation equations are run quickly eno...

The g3 unit DOES fit on my usb mount. It is more snug, and the trick seems to be that the mounting tabs need to be lined up precisely with the cut-outs on the mount. What's different is that the g3 drops down over the mount slightly before twisting onto the mount. If you're not letting the unit drop...

That sounds about right--I notice it much more on the high-wind days . . . Of course, out here in West Texas (I ride past the world's largest wind farm regularly), 20mph days are fairly common. But even then, stretches of complete side-wind are relatively infrequent. As for hand position . . . well,...

The weak point of the G2, wrt wind in my experience, involves strong cross-winds. Mine has performed really well in groups, great in head and tail winds, and pretty good in low angle cross-winds--but, predictably, it under-reports in cross-winds approaching 90 degrees (e.g riding east with a 15+ sou...

Well, imo, the r-sys wheels are an accident waiting to happen. Check out Graham Watson's images of last year's Tour Down Under for a photo: http://grahamwatson.com/gw/imagedocs.nsf/updateframesetcall?openform&08tduSt1 (you might have to scroll down the frames a bit . . .) Also, in February of th...

make sure all of the sensors are aligned with the magnets (you probably already did that). check the battery in the wireless mount. (easy way to do this is to pop it in the ibike and see what its rating is: needs to be over 275ish. make sure that the sensors are snugged down tight with the zip-ties....

Interesting discussion-- as to the tilt going out on climbs, I've seen this on my own files. Now it makes more sense why it's happening. Travis, you wrote that switching from to the hoods should make the tilt more negative--is this assuming that the switch is from aero-bars to hoods? (If that was cl...

It is interesting that you can actually count your laps by looking at the wind data.

kinda like tree rings . . .

Actually, I think I have it backwards--the question should be, why does it seem as though I descended 20 feet during each recovery period? Anyway, thanks in advance.

I did 5 crit-type intervals today involving multi-laps on the same course at a local junior college. In fact the majority of the ride took place on the same course--the major difference being that I switched directions when I started the intervals so that I could use the headwind to get some hard ef...

Howdy everyone. After reading recently that Campy decided to start building tubeless-compatible clincher wheels after they documented decreases in rolling resistance around 30% AND because I knew that the guys at my LBS had been riding road tubeless set-ups for around a year, I decided it was time t...
