Make sure you have updated to the most recent firmware. It specifically addresses this issue.

Please post an image showing your PowerPod mount and its placement on the bike. Also, please post your .ibr ride file.

You're riding with a mount that appears to be made of plastic. This will flex and vibrate in cobbles and cause the PowerPod to not function.

If you're going to ride on cobbles then you need to get one of our PowerPod combo mounts, which is made out of machined aluminum, is extremely stiff, and has been tested on rough roads.

After you install your new mount, PP will recalibrate itself automatically during the first 8 minutes of your next ride, then all should be well.

Sorry to barge into someone else thread

Would a similar mount (Non OEM) made of aluminium/ alloy be OK?

This one is a similar to the thread owners combi gopro/ garmin mount ( Upside down view) which mounts on handlebar and jutting on the front

This one is made of alloy and sits on top of the stem and mounts into the stem with the upper stem screws. Can house garmin above and gopro below

Just curious to know if they would be ok?
