AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Correct

Try Re-setting the sensor. You can do this by reversing the battery in it for about 10seconds. Then, double check the magnet positions again, be sure they are super close. About 1/8" or closer if possible. Re-Scan for the sensors. This should get you back up and running.

Try replacing the battery in the mount, as well as the battery in the HR Strap. This may solve the intermittent readings.

Hello, We still have these Wireless mounts available. Please contact tgore@velocomp.com for more info.

Once you receive your iBike NEWTON+ you will have 10 days to mail back your iBike Classic (GEN I, GEN II, GEN III – iSport, iPro or iAero) AND MOUNT (wired or wireless). We will track mailing date & receipt. NOTE: KEEP YOUR SENSORS! You will NOT receive new sensors with your trade in. IF you are...

Please contact me at tgore@velocomp.com. I will help get you squared away.

Batteries tend to regain a slight amount of charge between uses, however, as soon as you begin using it, it drops below a critical level. I would recommend starting fresh with a New Battery, in both the iBike Unit, and the Wireless mount. If you want to conserve the most battery. Be sure that the &q...

There is also a portion in SetUp to erase hrs. Go to Setup--rACr(yes)... scroll up a few times and you will see the hr meter, which you can set back if you'd like.

You can really swap out the battery as you wish. Each supplemental battery will give you about 40-60minutes of extra charge, depending on the draw of your IOS Device. I recommend changing them as they run out(indicated by the charging symbol of the IOS Device).

Now that you have done the calibration ride, I suggest taking a short 2-4mi out and back ride,(NOT A CAL RIDE) no drafting, solo, same road. Take that ride file, load it to the Isaac software, and go to ANALYZE->CHECK CALIBRATION... below the "change meter" you will see "send profile ...

If you are riding with a DFPM(Direct Force Power Meter), you have the option of viewing your CdA real time. To turn this feature on, go into the SetUp of the Newton+ and scroll to rACr(yes)->CdA(on). You will then see your Cda in the lower field of the iBike Display, alternating with Cadence(RPM) an...

* Export the GPS data into a format that iBike can open. For GPS data, this will typically be GPX, TCX, or FIT. (Note that Isaac can also import text exports from SRM SW & Poweragent for Powertap, and HRM files from the Polar SW.) * Make sure you have advanced menus set so they can view the nece...

Sometimes it is necessary to "reset the sensor" if it is a combined Speed/Cadence sensor... do this by just reversing the battery in the sensor for about 10-15 seconds, then put it back in as intended. When you do this, the sensor code may change, so it will most likely be necessary to do ...

Klaus,
From the setup screens in the Newton( {UP} arrow for 2 seconds)...Select "Yes Fast Start", hit the {UP} arrow once, you will see units... select your option there, and then hold the (up) arrow for 2seconds to exit setup.

I know a lot of people who just glue a small magnet directly onto the disc wheel. Also, taping one is an option too. Look for something like the cadence magnet, which is thin, so it will not protrude or interfere much with the disc wheel, which is how I do it.

This is an odd occurrence, which I have not yet experienced. It is possible that the voltage dropped below a critical level. Please try a Hard Reset of the Newton, then, Fully Charge the unit. If there is no change in performance, please contact me directly at: tgore@velocomp.com Thanks.

I have seen this happen before. Have you re-extracted the profile from the Newton after you have sent the changes, to verify that they were indeed accepted by the Newton. I have just tried to simulate the same occurrence, and edited some profile numbers, sent them to the iBike, deleted the profile f...

If you go to the Isaac Software, FILE>EXPORT... You will find several other formats that you can export. I believe that the CSV is will work for Training Peaks.

This is an interesting topic, that actually created some discussion during the design of this app. There tends to be some confusion interpreting certain things involved in cycling. For instance, pedaling harder, and pedaling faster can often be misunderstood. A higher target cadence, does not necess...

I believe that Trek still offers that separate cadence sensor. We stopped carrying the separate cadence sensor a while back, and transitioned into the combined sensor. I think for bicycles such as Tandems, Trikes, and Recumbents, it may be necessary at times to have the separate sensors for proper f...

The Original trade in offered a "freebie" of a universal handlebar mount OR GT Firmware... we then added a speed/cadence sensor later on by popular demand. I believe that the steer tube is $10 upgrade, and the new Dual Purpose Mount will be $20 upgrade. However, as of May 1, the Freebies a...

The Trade In Program is set up for the custom to send in (1) iBike Unit and (1) Mount (wired, or wireless). Correct, the older style mounts will not work with the iBike Newton or Newton+ product.

You can also turn trainer mode on from the iBike software. Be sure the device is connected and select Device>Turn Trainer Mode On. Fernando's way is a bit simpler though, and doesn't require you to have to hook up the unit each time you want to turn the trainer feature on or off. It is just another ...

Sounds like the Baro Sensor may be faulty. Did you purchase the unit directly?

Sure, you can try a dab of locktite on the screws, but I wouldn't go overboard with it. Also, make sure there is a soft pad on the door to help compress the battery into the springs. If not, you can use the extra foam from the pack of rails that was sent with the unit for the door. I have also found...

Hi, I don't think that this is a big battery culprit, If you really want to maximize the battery life on the GenIII try switching your "rec int rate" from 1second to 5seconds. You will still have real time data on the iBike unit being displayed, however, in the background, it will only be ...

I have found that the contacts inside of the iDash unit themselves can become mis-aligned, thus preventing the battery from making contact. Also, I have seen a few cases where the battery is not setting properly in the charger, and the light will remain green, lending the user to believe that the ba...

Tony I looked at the files. Mexico City indeed shows that you did not do an FTP test. Looking at the numbers from your profile, not the Aero, wind scaling, and Friction #'s especially in the 3 different profiles. Virginia beach is especially high with wind scaling and friction it appears. Mexico Cit...

You can UPDATE the firmware in an iPro via the iBike software under the "HELP" tab. What seems to be the issue; that you would want to un-install the firmware?

I have been doing some aero testing... Seeing great numbers actually, as I have a very aero position. If I ride comfortably at 240w I see numbers as low as 0_18-0_16 if I really focus on tucking my head between shoulders and keeping legs tight and bike upright I can get the numbers to < 0_15 which I...
