Power Pod Setup Ride
Hi,
Attached is the file for my calibration ride. If you could take a look, I would appreciate it. Power seems to be very high. Thanks.

Re: Power Pod Setup Ride
If you are riding off-road, I think you are OK.
If this ride was on pavement, then your rolling resistance is too high.
Let me know which one it is...

Re: Power Pod Setup Ride
This ride was on paved roads.
Re: Power Pod Setup Ride
On paved roads the rolling resistance is way too high. This will make watts high.
Attached is a profile that is more appropriate for your unit when riding on paved roads. Corrected ride file is attached too.

Re: Power Pod Setup Ride
Thanks. Should I use that profile if riding mostly on dirt too? Or just let the profile as is for riding dirt? I thought I recalled Powerpod had an algorithm to detect between pavement and gravel on the fly.

Re: Power Pod Setup Ride
I loaded the updated file and rode a mostly gravel route with some pavement too. Saw a lot of crazy numbers. Can you take a look at the attached file? Thanks.

Re: Power Pod Setup Ride
It would be best if you did a new calibration ride. Your rides are too long, and the winds are too variable, for me to try to figure out things manually.
Also, if you do a lot of downhill riding, you should get a cadence sensor. It will help minimize false watts readings.

Re: Power Pod Setup Ride
Should I do the calibration ride on gravel/dirt or pavement? I'll be riding both, but more gravel/dirt than pavement.
Re: Power Pod Setup Ride
I would do the calibration on pavement; conditions are more consistent there.
