Re: wind speed problem, the same rider

Actually I have the same problem with my iAero. I played a lot with finetuning my profile(s), but the phenomenon returns. I dont know what else I could do. Sometimes (10-15% of the total time spent on the saddle) the wind calculation seems to work, but typically I get the "always tail wind"...

Wind repair => Total climb is recalculated

I use the latest version of Isaac. Since I had lots of problems with the displayed wind speed during a ride, I decided to use the Wind repair function in Isaac. The repair marvelously gave an avg power being in line with an estimation of a 3rd party software, but ISAAC decreased the total climb of 1...

Re: Looking for Gen3 handlebar mount (maybe from a Newton user)

Re: odometer limits

We have discontinued all development on Gen I/II/III products. I think I "made" some development on Gen3 using a hidden bug of Isaac. :-) I did more tests, this time without involving Isaac, and I must say there is a bug in the 4.26 firmware of Gen3. When setting the odometer for both pro...

Rechargable mount works on the stem or more precisely on top of the steer tube, right? No way that I would put my unit there, the constraints are my other beloved gadgets. You know my handlebars look like server rooms :-)

Re: Looking for Gen3 handlebar mount (maybe from a Newton user)

Yes, wireless. Yes, I did. One mount has eaten three batteries with ride times of 6, 4 and 1 hours.

The other works well with one coin battery after appr 8 hours of riding. All the batteries are from the same set of Energizer CR2032.

But thanks for caring.

Wind speed is set to "Relative to Bike". It is zero meaning very frequently meaning that the abs wind speed, which was a tailwind equalled to bike speed.

Tailwind = bike speed ???

I improved the wind scale, and was able to ride to north getting +3 - +4 km/h, while to the south getting -3 - -4km/h. So I was happy that at least in case of my trekking bike (without a DFPM) I finished with the tough part of precise setup. Always tailwind disappeared but I got something different,...

Re: odometer limits

Yes, 9999 is the limit. Let me ask whether there is no place for the 6th digit in the bottom section of iBike display (I mean Gen3) where Odo can be set? If no place, maybe it would be better to avoid the first digit after zero and to add a number before zero to arrive at 99999 as a limit. I suppos...

Re: Bad battery read when voltage >275 watts

Batteries tend to regain a slight amount of charge between uses, however, as soon as you begin using it, it drops below a critical level. I would recommend starting fresh with a New Battery, in both the iBike Unit, and the Wireless mount. If you want to conserve the most battery. Be sure that the &...

Rescaling scale y in Isaac

Is there any way to do it?

I have a ride with a max and min slope of +26% and -26%, respectively, but Isaac only offers automatically the range of -10% -- +20%. Thus I can't see some mart of the slope chart including those where the max slope and min slope occured.

Re: iAero questions

I am afraid the horizontal bar is not in line with the displayed power. At least in my case. I use a DFPM, so maybe the length of the bar is specified by the instantaneous power calculated by iAero, which is not displayed. There seems to be a stronger correlation between the scale of 1-8 and the dis...

Thank you guys for the feedback. I forgot to mention that I made a very very short test with 5 magnets on but with the original tire circumference of 2096 mm set.

Maybe I deserve the RTFM reply (i have read all of them, maybe I just missed some part), but what does the horizontal bar on iAero mean? And the number of 1oo below the power data? It can go upto 8oo, but I could not figure out when exactly.
