does sensors matter?

Post by mir »

I have been wondering since I read somewhere that you could also pair a heart rate sensor to PP what the purpose is. At present I have paired a speed and cadence sensor but I first started out with only pairing the speed sensor. After pairing the cadence sensor I have noticed that PP is more responsive to power input due to pedalding cadence which is nice but what influence will pairing a heart rate sensor have?

A HR sensor is totally optional. If an HR sensor is paired then the PowerPod ride file will record HR readings. However, the HR readings will have zero impact on power measurement.

Hi John,

Thank's for your answer. I had the same impression but better to ask the experts for confirmation ;)
