AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Please post both your iBike file and your PT file. Note that, if your PT is wireless, your DFPM information should be in your iBike file.

Nope.

"2) We are using latest-generation digital sensors throughout (wind, baro, and accelerometer). Compared to prior iBike analog sensors, new digital sensors are MUCH more accurate and immune to temperature changes." i) I missed that point earlier. What about other sensors like that being re...

Just updated the firmware 602 and noticed that the battery is now showing 0% and the temp is showing 0 F. For Battery I see this both in the setup and the totals screen. 0 F is seen in the enviro screen. Help. thanks, Aaron Do a hard reset; press left, center, bottom, and right keys simultaneously....

Any thought to changing the rounding display algorithm for distance? Currently I find the distance error/uncertainity of +/- 0.05 miles to be such that I can't use the iBike with a route sheet. I would much prefer a display which truncated the distance to at least actual traveled rather than roundi...

We are all getting more experience. It's too soon to tell what is non-normal. Also, we have not yet done power consumption optimization in the firmware. Please keep watching. If there is a problem we will cover it under warranty. In the mean time, there is nothing wrong with charging-up your Newton!

Yes, you will be able to make the power numbers less jumpy. I'm using the 5 second setting and it's great.

We have worked on the Strava bug and have fixed it. As soon as Apple approves the update, you'll know!

We've listened to your requests and have been able to add many of them. Unfortunately, we cannot change the file management system of the iBike; therefore, selective ride file erase is "off the table". But we've added some features we hope you'll like. Here is what's coming; look for it ve...

We're not ignoring this thread; it's just that we have a lot of things going on!

Travis will take a look and report back.

It's not surprising that your Newton needed full charging. When we receive the batteries they have very little charge in them. The battery will discharge a bit even when the Newton is "off". We will ask battery supplier for recommended charging method; for what it's worth, I find that, by ...

4 responses: 1) For correct TSS and IF scores, your FTP needs to be set correctly in your Newton. Factory value is 80.6W; did you reset it to your measured value? 2) I'm very surprised by your battery life. We see a discharge rate of about 2.5% per hour. Since I happen to download my rides daily, my...

Good question! I set it up as a stem mount, since it is centered over the stem. The Isaac SW asks this question, in case the user does not do a Cal Ride. In reality, once you do the Cal Ride, the Newton will figure things out in the FW, so your answer is "overridden" correctly by the actua...

It looks like your wind sensor is not happy. Please contact Tom Gore at technical support@velocomp.com and he will help arrange to send you a replacement Newton.

Sounds like your cadence sensor is not working. This can happen if its wire is over-stressed.

When you order a complete Newton you are purchasing a completely new system and paying full price for it. The Dual mount is standard. When you order a trade-in you are getting a $200 discount. The Universal Handlebar mount ships standard with the trade-in (as it has been since the trade-in program b...

Please post ride files.

I've looked at all your ride files. You have done four (and maybe 5) calibration rides. In my view that is 3-4 too many. No measurement instrument will measure exactly the same result, time after time. Your WSF varies from .70, .765, .783, and .834. I would use .78 and be done with it. However, you'...

In all of these kinds of questions, providing a ride file would be very helpful. Not only can we provide more specific help, but hopefully we can also teach you more about your iBike!

Keep those suggestions coming!

Because of the file structure of the iBike it's impossible to delete individual ride files.

I looked at your 48 mile ride. Your profile and ride file both seem fine. What's puzzling is your FTP; you've got it set to 209.6W. This seems pretty low for a rider of your ability. You've got several sections, both on the hill and on the flats, where you're pulling nearly 300W for periods of sever...

Good ideas; keep them coming!

This is a bug. We are working on a fix now.

Please post ride files

It would be great if you would write a review on iTunes and Amazon...

USB A TO MICRO B.

When the winds are strong, your bike speed will either be slower (because of headwinds) or faster (because of tail winds). So, your fitness test will work either way. That said I find that it's better do testing into headwinds, because I don't have to worry about riding fast enough to have a net opp...

Yes, that will work.

Any USB charging device will work just fine with the Newton.

We're looking at this now.

Attached.
