Calibration with a DFPM
Posted: Fri Nov 20, 2009 5:59 am
One of the ongoing issues I have had is getting meaning ful profiles set up. I have had an ibike for 3 years and currently on GenIII.
I have followed the set up and calibration process to the letter, doing more coast downs and calibration rides than you can shake a stick at. I always need the tweaking skills of Boyd though to sort things out.
If I were to get the use of a power tap wheel, my understanding is that I can run both the ibike and powertap, can I calibrate the Ibike for all my bike set up's? Granted the rear wheel will change when I don't use the borrowed powertap.
I have collected a large amount of data using my No. 1 race bike over the last 9 months on Gen III, but want to move back onto my winter training bike and am concerned that re-creating a new profile on a different bike will cause me problems e.g. if the profile creation is not spot on, then what I am currently seeing as 200W may be 175W on the training bike.
So - in the interests of absolute parity between bikes would obtaining a power tap to calibrate help me?
