Strange behaviour at start of ride file
Posted: Mon Oct 22, 2012 4:12 pm
Had a strange issue today with my Newton where it showed zero power for most of the first 8 minutes of a ride and a few sporadic low power bursts. The remainder of the ride showed some reasonable readings when going up some hills but reverted to the very low/zero power with a few bursts later in the ride. I assumed that I had put the wrong profile in so rode up and down a stretch of road just to see what the wind readings were and they were negative in both directions so I figured that I had the wrong profile. When I down loaded the file and changed the profile to the correct one plus analyzed the route, the first 8 minute section showed an average power of over 750W and a max of 1400. I can do 1400W but didn't on this occasion.
The remainder of the ride file looked about what I expected so it's really the first part where something has went off. I had the unit on the bike outside for 20 minutes before the ride and done a zero wind offset and set the altitude.
I have attached the files.
Note I'm on a cross bike with full winter gear.
