AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Here's what you'll need to do to accomplish your objective: 1) Store your iBike Pro Profile using iBike 2. This saves your wireless IDs and your iBike Pro drag coefficients as a profile. 2) When you obtain your iAero, upload your iBike Pro profile into your iAero. Among other things, this will trans...

It's fine if you set altitude at home, then go to your starting location to ride. Remember that if the weather changes while en-route to your starting point the elevation your iBike reads at your actual starting location may be different from what the actual elevation is, but that's ok, too. After y...

Please send me an email offline. We probably need to replace your iBike. jhamann@velocomp.com

iBike 2.0.4 is now posted on our website. Below are detailed directions regarding how to install it and how to match new wireless pairing IDs with old, stored profiles. HOW TO STORE NEW WIRELESS PAIRING IDS WITH OLD PROFILES If you have previously stored a profile in your iBike 2 software using your...

1) If you lose your wireless pairing AND you have previously saved a profile that included the pairing codes, simply upload your profile to your iBike and your pairing should be restored. 2) If step one fails, then you have one of two problems: 1) your old profile doesn't have the correct codes stor...

We've had a few customers complain that they have been losing their wireless pairing codes. After investigating what we've discovered is that these customers had upgraded their iBikes to wireless but the pairing codes weren't stored in their profile. So, when these customers reloaded their old profi...

We're thinking about July, in Montana. We'd have day rides, training with power lectures, iBike 2 lectures, maybe even a factory tour!

Any interest out there?

No. You'll need to visit Quarq's site and order products from them directly.

FYI to everyone: it was a defective USB adapter. Sometimes these things happen...

Rollers are in the plan but we have other new goodies ahead of them in the line right now...

On page 38 of the Wireless Instructions there is a photo of a speed sensor and cadence sensor mounted too closely together, resulting in false readings for both, just in the way you describe. The sensors work by detecting impulses produced by the magnets that pass by them. If the magnets are too clo...

Important post script for this problem: bkr emailed us and reported that he determined the root-cause of the wacky wind readings: the wind scaling factor in his profile was 614! That is, his measured wind speed was being multiplied by 614; this caused his wind numbers to jump around like crazy. Norm...

I just spoke with bkr and together we solved his problem. He had upgraded his firmware from 114 to 116. For reasons that I don't fully understand, sometimes when the upgrade is done the internal pointers of the firmware get confused and cause this wild-wind offset problem. The fix is simple: downgra...

If your wind offset won't quickly settle down to zero something is wrong. Please email me at jhamann@velocomp.com and we'll figure out what is going on.

Stefano:

I replied to you in detail earlier today. Please email me at jhamann@velocomp.com if you still require more assistance.

Here is an announcement we are very pleased to make: Velocomp Announces Quarq CinQo Compatibility Ennis, MT (March 14, 2008) -- Velocomp LLP, makers of the iBike Pro power meter, announced today new firmware and iBike 2 software that allows any wireless iBike system to receive, record, and display p...

There is a significant cost involved in developing new firmware. All of our engineers and developers live in the USA; this allows us to go fast and to be very innovative, but this kind of talent is not cheap. We based iBike G pricing on our actual development costs and a best-guess of the number of ...

For your information, the iBike G firmware is now available at the iBike Store. Also, it is now possible to purchase an iBike wireless mount WITHOUT sensors. If you don't own an iBike but want to get an iBike that will work with Garmin sensors, purchase the following: iBike Pro, wired version iBike ...

Garmin could certainly implement compatibility with the iBike sensors but I doubt they will do it.

We are pleased to announce that we have implemented full Garmin compatibility with the iBike. Garmin/iBike compatibility requires the use of an iBike wireless mount, and the installation of for-purchase iBike firmware that enables Garmin compatibility. The firmware update will be serialized to the o...

When we first shipped the iBike we reported "iBike drag coefficients" only: aero and frictional drag. You can see these numbers in the Totals screens of your iBike. Since introducing iBike 2 and the new calibration procedure, (multiple coast down and 4 mile ride), you can also see the drag...

Yep! And this is an old photo; we've now added an additional 2 iBikes to Richard's bike. We're pleased that the next one we will add won't take up any more real estate...

To paraphrase Ronald Reagan: here we go again! Ever wonder why you NEVER see direct, moment-by-moment comparisons of power meter files? The answer is simple: it is extremely difficult to do! Differences in ride file sampling intervals, differences in electronics, variances in unit-to-unit manufactur...

We have a "high angle" stem mount that is designed precisely for such stems. An image is attached.

I saw this problem on a laptop. The issue was that the USB connector was loose in the port and when the customer moved his iBike the port connection would be broken and he'd have to relaunch. The simple fix is to connect your iBike to the USB adapter, turn it on, plug it in,then don't touch it while...

Yes, that is correct.

Actually, we're working on 305 and 705 compatibility right now! Stay tuned...
