AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Q1: What's the difference between profile 2 and profiles 1 3 4?
If I have a combo mount I supposed to use #2. Well I used #1 by mistake. Of course I can redoit.

Q2: If you have 2 bikes both with combo mounts which profiles do you choose?

Profile 2 has a default "wind scaling factor" that is slightly higher, in recognition of the different location of PP on the bike.

Post a ride file from your PP and we will adjust things for you so that you don't have to do a new setup.

If you have two bikes with combo mounts, you can use two different profiles, and we will adjust things for you so that each profile is correct.

John,

Thank you for your great help, you answered my question at the DC rainmaker site.

The file I attach is the only one I rode by myself so no drafting in this file.

I wrote a question at the DCRainmaker site before I discovered this forum. I am sure part of that question can be answered here. With downhills I had problems, the power is underestimated. I know I am pushing hard down and the power is low 80 - 100 watts when it should be 180-190.
Today I will also realized of another calibration problem which I am going to posted in another thread (8 minutes automatic recalibration) here so the forum keeps one question per thread

On the hill going up your heart rate is about 130-140

On the downhill your heart rate is 100-110. You are not pushing nearly as hard on the downhill.

For most riders it doesn't make sense to push hard on the downhills; gravity does much more work than you can do!

This file was mainly to look at the profiles. I use profile #1 instead of #2. What do I have to adjust.

I will look more in downhill and power in another rides. This was not the file for that but,.. you may be right. I will try to have the same cadence and heart rate and then compare the power output.

Your wind looks great; I would not adjust anything.

Hi, sorry for my English....
I have a road bike and a MTB too.
In both the bikes POWERPOD is mounted on the handlebar.
I set the road bike on profile #1.
If the "wind scaling factor" is different on #2, is it right to set the MTB on profile #2 or is #3 the best to choice?
Thanks

You can post .ibr files from both bikes. Make sure you note which is which.

I would not spend the extra effort to set up profile 3.

Ciao John,
I've attached my last two ride files. One in Mountain Bike and other one in Road Bike.
Please let me know if everything is ok.
Grazie

Both profiles look OK.

The GSC-10 speed sensor on your MTB is showing some intermittent behavior.

The separate sensors on your road bike are working great.

If you can afford it buy separate sensors for your MTB.

Thanks John
