Re: Wireless sensors and the cold

It sounds like your iBike battery went bad. That causes crazy numbers. In cold weather such as yours we recommend putting in a new battery prior to each ride. A new battery will last 2-5 hours in really cold weather. Then, save the "used" battery for spring. When the temperatures warm your...

Re: iBike for cyclocross?

Since the cyclocross bike has a "stiff" frame, there is no reason the iBike can't work very well. One of our other customers has used the iBike on a cyclocross bike with great success. He has had no problems at all and gets good data. It sounds like you may have a problem with the wired mo...

Re: Failed to display power?

There is a bug in the iB3 software. Please send us your ride file and I will be able to tell if this bug is affecting you. If it is, there is an easy way to pull out your ride file.

In the mean time, do NOT erase the original ride file on your iBike!

Re: Redo the Calibration Ride?

No, you do not need to red-do the Cal Ride. The Cal Ride determines wind scaling and riding tilt factors, which are not affected by changes to CdA and Crr numbers.

The post-ride analysis feature of the iBike 3 software has been "built-in" to the firmware that runs the Gen III iBike. This means that, if you have a Gen III iBike, there is very little difference between pre-and-post analyzed rides. I no longer "analyze" my Gen III rides. You a...

Re: erase all data question

The "Erase Ride Data" command only erases your ride file data. You are correct that all calibration and profile data is stored in a different area of memory and is not erased.

With a low battery temperature, power, and elevation readings go crazy. All readings stored in the iBike's memory (profile settings, ride data) remain untouched.

Re: The cold

If you had checked your battery voltage once the iBike's temperature had reached 34F, I bet it would have been below 2.75!

The 2.75V recommendation is for warm, summer temperatures.

In winter I'd put in a new battery prior to every ride, especially when the outdoor temperature is 34F.

Re: Wind offset question

The temperature stability of the wind sensor is much better in the Gen III so it should not be a major crisis if you forget to do a wind offset. On my Gen III I often do not perform a wind offset; I put the iBike on my bike, push the center button to pair, and ride.

Re: Calibration ride/coast down with DFPM

You're correct that if you are using your iAero on a bike without your PT, just set Pin to "None" and your iAero will work just fine. Set Cad to Find (or Paird) to get your sensor working. Since you are using a disc wheel your aerodynamic drag may be different so you should do a new set of...

The reason for your problem is that there is an error in your profile. Specifically, in the "advanced" tab in the edit profiles function, you'll see your bike + rider weight listed as zero. This causes an infinite Crr. I don't know why this problem happens in iBike 3 but I will try to find...

You'll need either the "iPro G" or "iAero G". Either product has everything you need to work with your new Garmin system.
