Powerpod - initial high readings, tailwind high readings
Posted: Fri Jun 09, 2017 6:46 am
Firstly, the Powerpod is very good, I am happy with it.
Just 2 things I have seen which I am wondering about:
1. Whenever I have removed the Powerpod and replaced it (charging or changing bike), I see huge power numbers for the first part of the ride. Any way to avoid this?
2. When riding in a strong tailwind, the power number are too high - this weekend I was riding at 26mph with a very strong tailwind, I was using almost no effort, but the power was reading 300W. I'm guessing this is because the Powerpod can't read tailwinds as the wind port faces forwards. Is this correct?
Thanks.
