Power reading dropped to zero in mid-ride and then picked up again

Post by JayAy »

Hi,

I've been using the PowerPod very successfully for some time now, but in a ride yesterday the power readings in the ibr file dropped to zero after about 42km, stayed at zero until around 72km and were then fine for the remainder of the ride. The PowerPod is mounted out front of my bars on underneath a Wahoo ELEMNT head unit on a K-edge mount and is not obstructed by any cables. I did not notice any loss of power data on the head unit during the ride.

Do you have any thoughts about what may have caused this to happen?

Thanks,
Jay

For some reason, your cadence signal is not recorded in this part of the ride file. When cadence = 0, Isaac forces power = 0.

I would do a hard reset of PP.

You can use the command Analyze/Return to Original Download to see your "missing" power.

File attached.

Thanks John. I'll give that a go.
