Re: Crazy Power Reading
I looked at your ride file and the primary issue is the unstable reading you're getting from your cadence sensor. Remember that when cadence goes to zero (as it does far too many times in your ride file) then watts will be forced to zero too. I suspect that your cadence magnet and sensor are too far...

Re: iAero and iBike Pro profiles
Here's what you'll need to do to accomplish your objective: 1) Store your iBike Pro Profile using iBike 2. This saves your wireless IDs and your iBike Pro drag coefficients as a profile. 2) When you obtain your iAero, upload your iBike Pro profile into your iAero. Among other things, this will trans...

Re: Starting a ride from remote locations
It's fine if you set altitude at home, then go to your starting location to ride. Remember that if the weather changes while en-route to your starting point the elevation your iBike reads at your actual starting location may be different from what the actual elevation is, but that's ok, too. After y...

What do I do if I lose my wireless pairing?
1) If you lose your wireless pairing AND you have previously saved a profile that included the pairing codes, simply upload your profile to your iBike and your pairing should be restored. 2) If step one fails, then you have one of two problems: 1) your old profile doesn't have the correct codes stor...

Saving wireless pairing information

After investigating what we've discovered is that these customers had upgraded their iBikes to wireless but the pairing codes weren't stored in their profile. So, when these customers reloaded their old profi...

The sensors work by detecting impulses produced by the magnets that pass by them. If the magnets are too clo...

Re: Wind Offset
Important post script for this problem: bkr emailed us and reported that he determined the root-cause of the wacky wind readings: the wind scaling factor in his profile was 614! That is, his measured wind speed was being multiplied by 614; this caused his wind numbers to jump around like crazy. Norm...

Re: Wind Offset
I just spoke with bkr and together we solved his problem. He had upgraded his firmware from 114 to 116. For reasons that I don't fully understand, sometimes when the upgrade is done the internal pointers of the firmware get confused and cause this wild-wind offset problem. The fix is simple: downgra...

There is a significant cost involved in developing new firmware.

When we first shipped the iBike we reported "iBike drag coefficients" only: aero and frictional drag. You can see these numbers in the Totals screens of your iBike. Since introducing iBike 2 and the new calibration procedure, (multiple coast down and 4 mile ride), you can also see the drag...
