Re: iBike Dash Odometer with Multiple Bikes

I use Strava for logging total ride data. It's good at keeping track of each bike's mileage and you can life components too.

I find the TCX export from iBike works best.

LeMond Revolution trainer

Hi there, Is anyone able to help with custom settings for a LeMond Revolution trainer? I have the speed/cadence sensor working which was not easy with no back wheel. I managed to find a magnet on the flywheel and the iBike cadence sensor was just long enough to reach the crank. Should add I have the...

Re: iPhone Screen Glare

It is a problem with using the iPhone. LCD screens like Garmin 500 work well in direct sun if you get the angle right. The iPhone is a lit screen so direct sun kills it's visibility. Here (Sydney Australia) the sun is very bright and it's quite hard to see the iPhone in the middle of the day. Most o...

Re: Battery life

More interesting feedback. Today I decided to extend my commute home by and extra 50km. My iPhone was showing 58% battery at the time and I thought there was no way it would last. I set the brightness to almost invisible since I was not really interested in seeing the display, just the logging. Well...

Re: Battery life

Cold would not help. It was 30c on my ride (Australia)

Turn off wifi
Turn off Bluetooth
Close down all other apps (double click the home button then hold down on one of the running apps until you see a minus sign. Kill them all)

Battery life

Thought I'd give some feedback here on battery life. Yesterday I did a 100km ride with my ibike dash +power. I fully charged my iPhone 4s and set the brightness to half, wifi off and Bluetooth off. I did not use the spare battery because I wanted to see how far the iPhone would go. It ran for 4hours...

Re: iBike Coach times

Strava says it's an iBike issue because the data should be logged in GMT?

iBike Coach times

Hi, I've just downloaded iBike Coach app, not really sure why there are two apps anyway. I like this app because of it's ability to upload to Strava and will give it a run over the next few days. One problem I have is that all my rides are timestamped on Strava 7hours behind. I'm in Sydney, Australi...
