AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

DO I have to do an O&B everytime I pair the device? I often change the HR monitor (one is a chest strap and the other one a helmet) and I repaired the device to recognize the different HR ID. In this particular case do I have to do and O&B every time I use a different HR monitor? It seems th...

Is there any tutorial or guidance of setup and uses of combining a PowerPod and DFPM? Yes I am aware of the AirPod and it will be in my whish list ;-) I just got a Garmin 3 to use mainly indoors with Powercranks but.. having and loving the PowerPod it would be great if I can find more info of combin...

...if you have an integrated handlebar that often had two bolts under to mount computer etc, this works perfect

REC-MOUNTS Type30 Garmin Combo Mount (Integrated Handlebar, With the lower part adapter)

That you can get from Amazon.

John,

Thxs, as soon as I get the Vector 3 I will e-mail to support for help.

Q1: In isaac you choose which DFPM to use, I do not see the Garmin Vector 3 in the list. Is this supported? Q2: searching in the forum there is a reply that mention the need of a CdA/TT key to be able to compare and calibrate the PP. The problem is that I do not find in the the Velocomp/shop that ke...

Q. Is there any difference in the graphic showed by Isaac if Device Power Smoothing is setup <Dynamic> vs 0 (zero) or 3 sec for example? I do understand the effects of what I see in the Garmin 820 head unit. I know Ray like to set up PP to zero and do the smoothing in the head unit. My preference is...

John,

THANK YOU!
I have logged more than 20K miles with the PP, reliable, easy to use and very dependable info.

Q1: is there any place where I can find all the options that occur pressing or holding the PP button? This is what I know: 1. To turn it on: awake sensors and tape it one time 2. To pair: awake sensors and press hold it for 4 seconds 3. To hard reset: press and hold it for 10 seconds 4. To turn it o...

Thxs John I'll install them.

John, THANK YOU!. I got the two unlock keys for the PP's. Q: If I do not like it or decided not to use it, is there a way to remove the key from the firmware or any switch to turn off in such a way that disable the feature. It seems obvious that if I do not turn on the app that should do it but..you...

John, Thank you that's what I did, I use the type of road I do most of the riding. I had a Crr 0.0060 which seems to be the default value for mixed asphalt and that is what I wanted. The frictional resistance went up as I updated my weight, which now includes my weight with clothes and shoes and the...

When you setup the O&B calibration ride one of the questions is what type of pavement the road has (eg smooth asphalt). Is the response the pavement where you do the O&B ride OR the usual type of surface you do most of the ride? Do I have to redo the ride IF what I did is not correct or I ca...

#1. The fact that you see the speed sensor and cadence in your head unit yes it means that they are awake BUT, they must be awake BEFORE you press the PP button. If that happens just tap the PP button again so it can pair those units. One time after an stop I had the 0 watt power sign but I did not ...

If CdA is left the same 1. Aero what is represents? Is is riders drag or frontal surface? 2. Wind scale? obviously will have to compensate for the change in Aero if you keep CdA constant but how does it show up? For example if I go downhill pedaling and I do not change my position as recorded in the...

A major problem I had with the PP was a not clear description of a calibration ride/check calibration. My approach was to follow one of these approaches and then try to adjust it in the advance setup. A new O&B info sheet is posted in this site with precise and clear indications of how to setup ...

1. To generate two files you have to stop riding for 20 minutes so the PP turn off automatically and it will generate 2 files after you wake up the sensor press the PP bottom and continue to ride. 2. You can download the whole thing then select the O&Back part of the ride / keep only the select ...

Question is: do I go Garmin again? Decathlon do HR straps, as do Wahoo. Anyone got any experience of these or even better more than one to compare? Even better still, with a PP? . A good alternative is a Helmet with a Heart Rate monitor. I have a Lazer Genesis Lifebeam. The benefits are: no need of...

1. For a calibration ride (not the initial calibration ride) can I load the file and then select part of it? like >select from 5 miles after start to 5 before finish. Of course I am talking of out and back ride. My goal is to do it after the 8 minutes recalibration. Then I would only save the select...

I assume you wash the chest strap often, remember sweat has electrolytes and those conduce electricity. Garmin recommends to put the strap in the washing machine (cold and delicate) of course without the sensor once in a while. I had a similar problem and it was corrected after machine washing. If y...

This file was mainly to look at the profiles. I use profile #1 instead of #2. What do I have to adjust. I will look more in downhill and power in another rides. This was not the file for that but,.. you may be right. I will try to have the same cadence and heart rate and then compare the power outpu...

I am new to the PowerPod but I have read almost every thread in this topic as well as the instruction pdf and I did not see something that came to mind when I was riding today. The PP does an 8 minutes automatic recalibration at the beginning of each ride or after a > 20 minutes stop. I do not know ...

John, Thank you for your great help, you answered my question at the DC rainmaker site. The file I attach is the only one I rode by myself so no drafting in this file. I wrote a question at the DCRainmaker site before I discovered this forum. I am sure part of that question can be answered here. Wit...

Q1: What's the difference between profile 2 and profiles 1 3 4?
If I have a combo mount I supposed to use #2. Well I used #1 by mistake. Of course I can redoit.

Q2: If you have 2 bikes both with combo mounts which profiles do you choose?
