Re: power when coasting

When you are coasting downhill and spinning your legs, the iBike's zero cadence = zero power "rule" is bypassed. Since bike speeds are generally high on downhills, the opposing force of wind increases significantly. To get zero power, this opposing wind force must be precisely offset by th...

I'd like to add features to next iDash +Power App such as '5s average power', '10s-30s... seconds average power', like the Garmin Edge's latest firmware version.
Good idea!

Re: HELP - Newton+ Setup Issues

Your wind scaling factor is low. Try the attached profile. This was created using the Analyze/Check Calibration feature of Isaac. The assumption in this profile is that your average wind speed in the 17 mile ride was zero, and that you finished the ride where you started it. Once you load this profi...

Re: Speed and Distance variance compared To Garmin 500

If the wheel circumference readings set in your Garmin unit are identical to the wheel circumference readings in your Newton, then speed and distance readings should be identical. I don't know how to check wheel circumference readings in the Garmin, but in the Newton you can determine your wheel cir...

Sometimes I worry we make things worse with all of the information we provide. Please note that, after applying the changes, the results change by only 3 watts!

Re: Centre Button not responding

If you've done a hard reset and the centre button is still not responding, then most definitely it is a hardware issue.

It looks like your iAero is no longer under warranty. Please contact technicalsupport@velocomp.com for options (refurbished iAero or Newton upgrade).
