AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

I called to check on this and the speed/cadence sensor is required and would be recommended regardless, as the PT hub apparently can sometimes not accurately calculate cadence.

I'm trying to setup a Newton to act as a head unit for a latest-gen PowerTap hub. I would like to not have to use the speed/cadence sensor with the setup and rely solely on the PT hub. But the ANT+ does not seem to find the PT hub if I the speed sensor is not active. With the speed sensor, the scan ...

I was looking at the new iBike Newton TT package in the iBike storefront and it appears to include the new Tri/TT mount and the RWS. But the checkboxes for the package don't match up. By default I'm seeing the Dual Purpose Mount selected, and no RWS selected. How do the checkbox selections affect th...

I tried a firmware upgrade to OS2, but the load started normally, then hung half way through and slowly progressed, taking about a day to finish. The "Waiting for the Newton to reboot" dialog popped up, but the the Newton's screen continued to read, "File load". I let it run for ...

Well, despite two emails requesting an order change for the new stem mount and assurances that Sandi would get back to me, she never did and I got a second universal mount with my shipment. I can return the universal mount with my iBike trade-in, if that works. Everything else looks great! I'm excit...

And for those of us who sent an email to request an order modification to get the stem mount as our free second mount, should we have received a confirmation by now? I sent a follow-up email as well but still haven't heard anything.

Hi John, I've sent two emails to Sandi requesting an order change for the new stem mount, but haven't received a response. Is there any way to know if my order has been modified? If you want to change your pre-order in any way, please email Sandi Peeples at speeples@velocomp.com. She will get everyt...

This looks great, John!

Question -- if we order early to qualify for the free extra mount, can we choose to wait on shipment of the extra mount for the stem version to become available?

I had to re-install the iBike software, the NI runtime, and the latest USB drivers from scratch to get it to work. Just updating to the latest drivers didn't fix the crashes when trying to access the device.

Have you looked at Golden Cheetah? http://goldencheetah.org/ It will import iBike CSV files. Version 1.3 is the current release. Version 1.4 will probably be out something this fall or early winter and adds some tasty new features: http://velocitynation.com/content/coachingfitness/2010/golden-cheeta...

I just wanted to tip my hat to John and crew for their awesome customer service. I had purchased an additional handlebar mount and sensors this past December during their promo sale, but had a change of heart this spring and decided a stem mount would be best. I hadn't installed the additional mount...
