I have a new Gen III iAero. My question is how to set up multiple profiles for multiple bikes.
I have two bikes, a roadie and a TT bike. I have already set up the cal for the TT bike. Now I want to set up the cal for the road bike.
I assume that I can set the profile to profile #2 then do my wireless pairings. When I do this, the ibike will learn these different wireless sensors I assume, correct? Next I will do coastdowns and a cal ride then download all that to the ibike software, give that profile a name and save it.
However, heres my question. I know the Gen III can store 2 profiles onboard. But I plan on having at least 4 profiles...2 for my TT bike (race setup, training setup) and two for my road bike (training setup #1 and training setup #2). Do I just go ahead and set up each profile and store it in the ibike software? Naming each one as I go?
Just want to check to be sure I have this process correct before I waste a bunch of time! Thanks.
Setting up multiple profiles
Re: Setting up multiple profiles
Yeah, what I would recommend is to store your training profile for both bike in the iBike. This way when you switch bikes during training you can just use a different profile and you'll be set to go.
Before you go to race day, send both racing profiles to your iBike (assuming you are bringing both bikes to the race). This way at the race you can easily switch between bikes. This would work great during a typical race weekend that has a time trial, road race, and criterium.
I have also been experimenting with doing a coastdown at the start of the ride. Because wind scaling and riding tilt are stored, the aero and friction numbers can be converted to cda and crr. I have been getting very good results all this week with doing a coastdown at the start of my rides. Of course make sure your tilt and wind offset are calibrated, you want to have it as accurate as possible for coastdowns.
You won't want to try that method if you switch between road bike and TT bike. Because the iBikes are in different positions, the wind scaling can be really different and can give you bad results.
