indoor trainer config+ profile issues

I'm having few issues with getting the indoor trainer feature to work. Someone mentioned previously something about saving it to a profile, however I couldn't see how this could be done in ibike 4- and I just sent the indoor profile to the unit-where it was saved, I don't know, but it didn't register any power output (trainer mode was switched on) . Another issue I had (and now resolved), which is probably related to the first, is that upon sending an approximate power/ speed profile of my indoor trainer (Minoura VSF-G R) to the unit, I may have overridden the profile I ride with on the road, resulting in a persistent wireless fail. I therefore had to do a hard reset to reconfigure the unit to receive a signal. I think I have followed all the instructions in the ipro and ibike 4 user guide in relation to the indoor trainer config, or is there something I have missed?

Ok, well the hard reset and rescan seems to have resolved the issue. Although, I'm not sure why it was required. I'm starting to wonder whether there is something wrong with my Garmin SPCD.

I guess with trial and error most things can be fixed. :)

Nik -

I think most of us have learned that the iBike acts up and operates not quite as expected at times. Of course the magnet sensors on the crank and wheel can be suspect, but quite often a simple hard reset is the way to go. It is painless, quick and generally resolves problems. For me, it is a natural part of my trouble shooting regimen if something seems awry.
