Hi,
I just got my powerpod and am very excited to start training with power. I did an out and back calibration a few days ago and then a short ride and I thought everything looked ok, but the out and back went much, much faster than the instructions said. It was nowhere near 5 minutes each direction. Then I did a ride today and the power data was definitely off. It was very windy today but I don't think that accounts for it. I'm thinking that perhaps my port was partially blocked for the calibration but it wasn't today. What would account for a shorter than normal out and back calibration?
I'm attaching the calibration file, the ride I did right after calibration, and today's ride.
Thank you very much for any help you can provide,
Joshua

Re: Calibration Question
I'm not sure which instructions you are using, but the current version of instructions says the out portion of the ride lasts only about 2-3 minutes. You have a unit with the latest FW, so you should be getting a short cal ride.
Your 11/3 ride file looks OK, but your ride file of 11/6 shows very high winds. I will need to see a ride file under calmer circumstances to check things.

Re: Calibration Question
Thanks for the help John. I'll give it another try on a calm day and see what happens.
Re: Calibration Question
Hello again,
I finally got a chance to do another calibration and ride on a calmer day. Would you mind taking a look at these and let me know if everything looks ok? The numbers seemed much better this time around.
Thanks,
Joshua
