Re: view ride files from DFPM in Isaac

I am trying to do this without using an iBike along with the PT. Basically I want to analyze my PT file in Isaac. To view DFPM files in Isaac you need to have an iBike file from the same ride to go with it. Just curious: why do you want to use Isaac software to view your PT file? I had a wired iBik...

Re: view ride files from DFPM in Isaac

You need to download the PT data and save the file as a CSV. A buddy of mine has the same setup. Download the PT ride with WKO then export copy as "CSV". Save the file and "merge" the csv file with the ibike ride in Isaac. Works like a charm. I am trying to do this without using...

Re: view ride files from DFPM in Isaac

I have a wired unit.
I prefer Isaac and wanted to check it out with my Powertap.
I don't think I can use Isaac with dfpm unless I record the info on the iBike.

reset total hours on computer

I have a used iBike and want to reset the hours to 0.
hard reset doesn't do that.
Isaac does not seem to have a feature for that.
Any help?

Isaac does not show older file kcal correctly

I just noticed that after loading Isaac and using an upgraded iSport Gen III the kcal section is incorrect.
It seems that the burn rate and totals are mixed up.
One ride I did showed a burn rate of 3356kcal and a total of 550.

No big deal, just thought I'd mention what I've seen.

Re: Software screen info question

It's not THAT sensitive. You may just be holding the button longer than you realize. Also note that if you continue to hold the button after Lap starts blinking you will enter another mode where you can review all your previous laps with the up or down arrow. You exit the review mode by pressing th...

odometer limits

It looks like the odometer only goes to 9999.
Is this true?
If so...you've got to be kidding. I don't want to have to write down or remember that I've turned it over, once or twice.

Re: connect iBike to computer and all ride info is erased

Did you get an answer to your question? After a period of a few hours, the ride file is automatically reset in the unit. This is to prevent people from accidentally continuing rides that were completed previously. As you found, the way to see your ride stats, including TSS, IF, and NP, is to downlo...

Use the new Check Calibration feature in the iBike software. If you're seeing minor changes, then spend your time riding, not doing Cal Rides! I'm sorry, I was not clear. I am using the Check Calibration feature under the tools menu. The result is only a slight change, and therefore I won't mess wi...

Check Calibration...how often

I do many rides that are out and back.
I've checked the calibration from the tools menu and there is never more than a slight change offered.

Should I ever update my profile?
If so how often? or better yet, what should I look for?

Re: Best way to track intervals

That opens up some options.
I am wired with the iBike right now. TrainerRoad will work with an ANT sensor and ANT Stick. $60 total or so.
Thanks for the link. TrainerRoad is a great idea.

Re: Best way to track intervals

That's an idea. Kinetic has a power curve for my trainer that coorelates to speed.
I printed out the chart and might consider using an extra computer that I already have and just watch average speed / power.

Re: Best way to track intervals

Perfect. Thanks for the reply.
That is what I hoped I could do.
I assume I will be able to see TSS, NP, and other info for the whole ride.
I'm still outside here in NC, but it won't be long and I'll be on the trainer.
I've considered buying a trainer key. Any thoughts?

I track my TSS for each ride and set a weekly goal that is derived from breaking down a 5 month period into weekly periods. I do intervals like 2 or 3 x 20's and some shorter durations as well. There is also time warming up and riding home that add to TSS that I also track. I have sent intervals fro...

Re: Profile / hoods elbows bent equals ??

Note, that even the profile you have now is pretty darn good, but you've provided good info that makes tweaking fairly easy. I see you have your FTP set so that's a good thing, so load the new profile into the iBike and ride. I'm gonna load it now and ride today. Thanks for your insight and help.

Re: isport to pro upgrade can of worms?

I agree with not fighting the numbers.
I wasn't real confident with the numbers I was getting. Somewhat consistent but still odd at times.
I thought with the upgrade it would be a good opportunity to get it dialed and roll.

What is the best way to post or e-mail ride files?
