Powerpod 0 power readings on garmin

Post by karel_k »

I have similar problem what's described in the thread: Powerpod 0 power readings on garmin 520

I make sure that PowerPod is fully charged before each ride. But I have several times during a ride when I see 0 wats even my Garmin show cadence reading.
I am attaching my ride, can you have a look and help me to figure out what can be a problem?

Thank you

You have frequent and severe speed sensor dropouts from your combined speed/cadence sensor (GSC-10?). This is messing-up everything.

If you want to try to continue to use your current sensor, then remove its battery, put it in backwards for a moment (to hard-reset the sensor) then reinsert normally. It probably is a good idea to replace the battery, too.

If that does not fix things I suggest you get magnet-less Garmin sensors. Put the speed sensor on the front hub of your bike and all will be well.

Hi John, thank you for the prompt reply and help (as always :D ) I was able to reset and adjust a little bit speed sensor on my bike today. It seems is working fine now.
I will definitely look for magnet-less sensor combination as you suggested.
Your support is amazing. I appreciate it.
