Re: Power readings drop to zero

Just south of that Google Earth capture is the rise, 4% average for a few meters. (A pinpoint selection in Isaac read 7%.)

My point really, is no power was displayed.

Power readings drop to zero

During a ride, usually after an hour or so, the power reading will occasionally display zero, even if I am putting significant force on the pedals. When the power does start to display, it rises slowly. This has been going on for a while. During my last ride, I powered up a short hill, (2H:03:49) an...

Using Cycleops Powercal

I am considering getting a Cycleops Powercal for my winter bike. The Newton really doesn't like a lot of rain, especially a paceline in the rain. I had a Powercal in the past, and over a long ride, the numbers are close. My winter rides are more recovery and base building. To set up the Newton 5 to ...

Incorrect date in Newton ride file

The date / time is incorrect my Newton ride file. Ride was 5/22/15 and the Newton date is 4/26/15. I think the computer date was wrong.

How can I correct the embedded file date / time to sync with NT gps data?

Upload to Strava from Tracker

Suggestion: The ability to export Tracker data to Strava before uploading ride file to Isaac and then exporting to Strava.

Also, from Isaac export directly to Strava like we can export directly to TrainingPeaks.

The "Automatically Analyze Route" was indeed checked. Now it's not. I set the "Undo Analysis", and the files, which is the same as the file you returned, looks more like I would expect.

Super human power on descent

I think the reason Peter Sagan seems to struggling a bit this season is that he has caught wind on my AWESOME POWER! On a ride today, I recorded power reading of 1300W - on a mountain descent. Really? I can't do 1300W of power with a rod of uranium in my jersey pocket. My wife tells me I'm awesome, ...

Re: Powerstroke Ideal vs Real World

Yes, I agree about the length of the segments. My rides are a minimum of 1 hour and the plot for the total ride is very different than shorter segments. Steep climbs are another thing altogether.

I am looking at Doval rings too. Like to hear your son's experiences Pete.

I apologize if this is covered elsewhere, I didn't see it. I love PowerStroke - a real eye opener. My problem (among many others) is trying to achieve a real world ideal pedal stroke. On flat ground I can see the achievable goal of perfect pedal pattern, but on steep climbs, i just can't see this as...

Issac displays different power

In Isaac 4, I have noticed on a short ride that the Max power displayed in the summary pane on left (460W) is quite different then that found in the graph (684W in the detail window at the bottom of the graphs) when the point is selected.

Re: Firmware 5.1

John, I hope your team can find a solution for wet weather performance. Aircraft pitot tubes and the pressure sensors function in wet and freezing conditions. Of course, those are around $10K each!

I look forward to an all-weather version Newton.
