AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Re. "...as a fan and customer of velocomp or pp, the isaac really neeeds to be upgrade in terms of look and feel..."

As a fan of PP - I also fully agree

Just a random thought ... Perhaps sometimes when riding, following a HARD hit into pothole, the PP may not move, but the handlebars may move/rotate ... depending on where the hands/weight of the rider were/was at the time.. Essentially, the PP will then still be "rotated" in a different an...

Ok, thanks for busting that myth!

Hello John, Is it true that there's a paper sensor in the PP, and that if it gets wet - either slightly or soggy - it won't be able to reliably calculate certain power-related metrics ever again, hence rendering it innaccurate or useless - even after it has completely dried out? If so, would you rec...

Hi John, Similarly - I just received my powerpod back after a usb slot repair and battery fix. So I figured I'd re calibrate it. Pair it too, bc it wasnt showing up on my Garmin 1000.. No success - as I frustatingly followed the online instructions. However - I just read your reply to the OP who was...

I'm sure all the variousvpotential different scenarios that PP is being played through - were likely never on the original designers' minds, and now likely consistently baffles them and John!

marcius,
Perhaps he doesnt work on weekends (like many others)?

Hmm.
I dont think the Edge 1000 will get speed (very) wrong, as it can simultaneously rely on the remote sensors - either magnetless or w magnets.
I hve a 1000, w magnetless sensors.
Speed is bang on previse, compared to another on-board old-fashioned bike computer.

My Powerpod's usb connector port seems extremely finicky. I can hear the Window's usb connect/disconnect alert repeatedly when it's attached to the computer - regardless of the usb port used on computer. To connect to Issac, I'm obliged to repeatedly try pressing the PP button, change usb ports on c...

Helpful answer speedyvelo. Thank you Velocomp; I think part of the challenge for new and not so new users of PP, is the lack of ease in finding some of these basic answers / solutions to many questions asked - in the instructions or the PP FAQs available on website. (E.g. My battery charge question)...

Q/ 1. Re. 20hrs. If I charge the Powerpod fully, then ride for 5 hrs over 2 days. Then don't ride for 10 days, bc of poor weather ... will there still be approx 15 hrs charge left on it ... when I go out riding on the 11th day - on a 10hr brevet? Or will it have slowly discharged by then? 2. Basical...

Ok perfect.
Thanks for the swift reply.

Q/ Am I being overly cautious by removing my Powerpod from my handlebar when rain is forecast and I have a group ride coming up, or alternately when washing my bike? It's because I prefer to (re)move it as little as possible from its mount (if possible)! Will water contact risk screwing up the Power...

I agree. Interesting questions indeed! Additionally though, let's not forget - for many (or most) cyclists there will likely eventually be a tradeoff between (short vs long-term) maximum aero position / speed / power / stability ... vs. maximum capacity to breath efficiently / recruit cycling-specif...

Thanks John, I'll simply get an extra long usb connection cable and charge/hook up the Powerpod to a laptop computer near the bike rack. That way , no repeated on/off with the mount. I think I will try another out and back eventually, when the winds are closer to zero, since it was moderately windy ...

i have the power smoothing set to dynamic and then on my garmin i have a 3 sec average display, On my Powerpod I also am using Dynamic power smoothing; however on my Garmin (1000), I found that 3 second power averaging was too frustatingly slow to respond (especially to sprints). I just used the &q...

Hi John New user. Setup: Powerpod Ant+ version. Garmin 1000 edge head unit to display power. Magnetless garmin rpm and speed sensors. Reading through many posts on this and DCR's website re the PP - If I understand correctly - PP is constantly recalibrating itself during the ~ first 8 minutes of eve...

Any chance, of a legacy version of the powerhouse that can tap into ant+ I have a galaxy note that could easily use ant+ Would be nice to have the option for us ant+ only Powerpod folks. As a Samsung Note 3 Android phone user (with integrated Ant+ capabilities) and owner of a Powerpod with only Ant...
