Re: What is wrong with Power and Slope data?
Your tilt is off by a country mile. "Normal" tilt is about -.5, yours is -50.9! Additionally, your wind scaling is way off IF these are essentially out/back rides. Attached is a more normal profile however, I suggest you do a real out/back cal ride to nail down the wind scaling. The excess...

Re: Wind data might be off???
Glad it all worked out! I honestly don't have any idea why the wind was off on this ride. But it makes sense that based on your previous statement I did check Out-and-back initially, but when I did that the power numbers jumped and I saw an average increase in power of about 30W for the whole ride. ...

Re: Wind data might be off???
Did it feel like a 133w AVG or 166w? You can certainly tell the difference between those two numbers. You did the same thing I always do. I do not check out/back because that forces the wind to about zero. Entering the start/end elevation only makes a minor adjustment for any changes in barometric p...

George, you're a 100% right. I haven't done a wind offset check in about 6 months so I completely forgot about it. I think a number less than 2 is fine. Perhaps the day of your ride was an exception weather wise, so try to do the wind offset in "normal" conditions as far as temp and humidi...

Re: Wind data might be off???
Agreed, the wind seems low. However... 1) How much vehicular traffic did you have to deal with? A roundabout means you were on roads with cars. It's amazing how much the wind is pushed along with you by cars. 2) Check your wind port. About once a year I GENTLY clean it with a Q-Tip. Give it a rap ag...

Re: Isaac detects drafting when no actual drafting
If Isaac sees a period of time with a substantial tailwind it will assume you drafted.
I personally have no boxes checked and I enter my own starting and ending elevation. The results are absolutely consistent and repeatable.

Re: TT mount without RWS
You might be OK as far as the wind port goes but you need to be very careful how you mount it. If you mount from one of the aerobars I'm concerned your pulling on the bars will skew the the power numbers. Note that the end average results as far as AP and NP will probably be correct because the Newt...

Cal ride should be used on the subsequent ride which should be identical to the cal ride. Do a cal ride, turn around and do the same ride as an out/back.

Re: Tilt measuring and repairing bad tilt eide
Do a regular ride and at the end of the ride press and hold the center button to reset the ride.
The next time you do a ride, check the tilt as you have previously and it should be correct.
However, I can't remember if it does this auto correct after a ride or only after a cal ride?

Re: Wind Question & how do I correct it?
I still think you're overestimating the wind effects in a cross wind situation. Granted, crosswinds can be a challenge but I think mostly because our body tends to disturb the wind flow as it gets to Newton. However, I still think the difference is minimal and not something you should make correctio...

Re: Setup
The difference between a winter setup and a summer setup is not significant. Look for a 40 degree day (may not be possible where you live) and do your cal ride. The results will work just fine.

On a group ride today I had strong outbound headwind (NW wind and rode NW for 20 miles) with a matching return tailwind. When I do Analyze Route to correct elevation for Start=End, it indicated about 5% Drafting. I did take turns drafting on the outbound headwind but I rode with no drafting for the...

Re: Installing Aero Bars I need help
When on a typical ride on this bike do you generally ride in the aero position? I would assume yes, otherwise you wouldn't bolt the bars on to begin with. Put another way, what percentage of the time that matters (not climbing, not standing) are you using the bars vs. not using the bars? With that a...

Re: Isaac feature request
Although a 60 minute best might be on either side of a coffee break, I doubt this kind of 60 minutes could ever match a steady state 60 minutes alone. The time spent getting back up to speed after a coffee break will seriously cut into the average.

There is no need to press any button. Newton stops recording when you stop. If you're concerned about accumulating time as you ride around or move the bike around then press and hold the center button and that will reset the ride stats to zero. Of course the ride you completed is still in memory. Th...

Re: Wind scaling
The short answer is it's applied to the unit. The longer answer is there are two "wind" names. Wind Scaling is the math needed to balance out a true out/back ride so the wind speed equals zero. This number is stored in the profile and is "usually" in the .9 to 1.5 range if the iB...

Thanks for the memories, when I lived in SoCal I rode that on a regular basis. The GoPro is so wide angle that it fails to show how tight those curves really are, especially toward the bottom. Of course you have to do the climb to earn that downhill reward. Nice Dashware overlay, I assume you import...
