AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Hi,
I have a powerpod V3 which I've had for nearly a year.
It has been working fine until recently when it has begun to show 0 watts for most of a ride and will only show power numbers when I am generating higher power (such as moving away from traffic lights or climbing steep gradients.) The power number, when is is showing, also seems to be too low.

I have a wahoo speed sensor mounted on the front wheel and a wahoo cadence sensor mounted on left crank and they are all paired to a lezyne enhanced super GPS. The powerpod is on the handlebars
All sensors seem to pair well to each other and to the lezyne head unit.
I had recently changed the batteries in the wahoo sensors however, I did have a few rides where the powerpod was working correctly after i had done this.

All other data recorded from the powerpod seems OK except for the descents which seem to show way too much braking. This particular ride was on a gusty windy day.

I have tried a new calibration ride which was successful, however during the ride after calibration I had the same problem.
Any ideas as to what may be causing this?
Ride file and bike setup attached

The problem is your Crr, which in this ride file has somehow has been set to -0.0265.

To give you an idea of what this means: A Crr of 0.00 would mean that there is no friction between your bike tires and the road. So, if you were coasting on a flat road with no air resistance, your bike would coast forever with its speed never decreasing.

But a negative Crr is even more amazing: on a flat road, as you coasted your bike would pick up speed! An obvious impossibility...

Please do the following:

1) Connect your PP to Isaac

2) Go to Device/Setup Device...

3) Enter the parameters for you and your bike

4) In the final step, select "Best Accuracy"

5) Do a new cal ride

This should fix things.

OK - Thanks for the quick response. I'll give that a try and get back to you.

HI John,
Worked perfectly thankyou.
