AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Hi, I am wondering whether to buy the two armed solo front mount for my third bike. What I could not figure out when I checked the pictures about it is whether I can set the angle between the arms or not. My third bike has a special twin J bars, so the angle of the bars is less than 180 degrees. Tha...

I meant why there are two cal ride protocols alternating each other on Mewton+ with FW 5.18. But you are right when mention the lack of trust. Therefore I will repeat this sorta multiple cal ride test on my road bike, where the mount is properly positioned for more years and I intentionally make the...

I supposed so.

And the 1.6km&back + 5 min&back sequence is a rule of cal riding in fact?

Hi, Yesterday I updated my Newton+ to FW 5.18. Today I had my first ride with my new bike, a highracer recumbent. I mention it, because I could not install my Newton+ in a traditional way, the only position when I could place Newton+ to make the display visible for me was skewed sideways abit and al...

In FW 5 we don't offer the option to adjust the temperature bias. But you are correct that adding/subtracting a fixed amount from your reported temperatures is all that is required. I am someone who also needs/lacks this feature. I remembered that in FW4 there may have been a menu item in Newton+ w...

No problem for me, I can live with it. So just out of curiosity, why is there an option of 'blank' for the bottom part in the configuring menu of Isaac?

Malfunction: if I choose 'blank' for the bottom part of the screen it has the same effect as opting for 'other data', so there is no way to make the bottom part blank. No difference between screen no 1 and 2.

If I choose blank for the top or for the middle it will be blank on Newton display in fact.

Maybe I repeatedly overlook something, but I do not know whether it is possible to get rid of the max/avg values without doing a hard reset. 1. I tried trip reset 2. I tried data reset 3. I searched for the word "reset'" in Newton manual 4. I searched for the word "reset'" even i...

Thanks, I'll do.

EDIT: Today I tested it, and voila, it works.

Hi, I surmised that after upgrading to Fw5 including GT key feature, the small 'bulb' next to 'pout enabled' in Edit profiles menu item will be light green to show that power output is enabled. When I had a Gen3 iAero I did have the light green bulb. Alas so far I have had no chance to test with my ...

Solved with some trials. I used Newton setup which did overwrite imperial to metric. And I used send profile again to make it sure that the original parameters will be used by Newton.

Hi all, I upgraded to 5.09 from 4.16 and got imperial measures. I tried to revert to metric with the help of Isaac (edit/edit profiles/send to device), but it has no effect on units. Since fast start is not available in 5.09, I have no clue how to get back the metric units on my Newton. Anybody know...

I meant this one as future upgrade, John, and wished to ask whether finally it happened or fully abandoned as something to be done.

Thanks

What about for the time being? Happened or fully abandoned the change in question?

Thx

Yes, what Pete said basically. It is also a good metric to judge your workouts. If you were supposed to do all out intervals, for example, it could help you determine whether you really gave it your all or backed off too early. Same with FTP tests. Obviously not a perfect model but it looks quite p...

OK, I made contact with Ray. Here is his review of the new PowerPod power meter: http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/08/first-powerpod-power.html It's good to see. I own the nickname "Tisztul_A_Visztula" and was the one who started to provoke Ray on 19th August with the missing Newton review.

Re 1: Has the "future update" been happened?

Thanks

1) At present, temperature can't be configured on a main screen. In a future (free) FW update we will make it possible to show temperature on a main screen. 2) Keys are sent by email. Re 1: since I have fw 4.14 on my Newton+ I can't check what the latest fw version is. Is it still 5.0 or has a new ...

1) At present, temperature can't be configured on a main screen. In a future (free) FW update we will make it possible to show temperature on a main screen. I'll buy fw 5 when I will hear about this update. I promise. I'd really love to see all of these three environmental variables on the same page.

Though I won't guarantee it, I suspect that if you use an ANT+ speed sensor only (not the combined speed/cadence sensor we ship with the Newton), then the Newton will use the cadence data provided by the PT hub. Just out of curiosity? Why does Newton insist on having on standalone speed or cad/spd ...

We have been unable to reproduce this situation. Sorry for the late reply, but I had no time for riding until recently. I insist on that there is a bug in 4.14, too. a) if one sets the filter to 0, Newton+ shows the power readings measured by itself, if Dfp Disp is set to OFF. b) if one sets the fi...

you mean odd, dont you?

Mate, you did not go too far, this is why I wrote "before going too far".

I know, I am a maniac.

Russ, before going to far, please keep in mind that a wounded animal can kick quite big with his feet, especially wearing massive new boots. So do not hurt too much animals like me.

Today I made a longer test hiking and I am pleased with the result that my Joule GPS gave me. Yesterday I bought a new pair of boots and I used the same setup on it like on my running shoes:

If you want to use Newton for wind measurement you need to be hiking at more than 8 km/h otherwise it shows 0 wind. If you are adept at some electronics and programming you could try to build your own device using Arduino. All the sensors you want are readily available. Maybe someone has already de...

A good point, Russ. :-) To be honest I have more tools to be considered. First of all I have two Joule GPSs, so I would not be extremely sad, if I broke one of them. On the other hand its mounting is easier, it goes to a rounded, slim plastic, which can be fastened to a handlebar with different size...

To preserve battery life the Newton will shut itself off after 20 minutes of inactivity. There is no way to bypass this safety function. If you want to turn off the Newton manually click the left arrow once; Batt % will appear. Press-hold the center button. "Off" will appear. Release the ...

I am pondering whether I need fw 5 or not. 1) Do I understand well, that right now it is not possible to put wind, slope and temperature together on one page? If not, will it be possible or is there any hardware- (I mean display-related) or software-related obstacle to make it possible? 2) I never b...

The scan menu for sensors is active, the search has not been finished yet and the user switches to Set up holding the Up button. Having done that one cannot leave the Set Up menu. Holding the Up button still navigates to Set Up. Even if the Scan process is repeated and the search has been finished, ...
