powerpod lite on fatbike

Post by cooloutac »

Hello all, I'm wondering what tire size should I choose for my fatbike 26x4 tires I don't see it as an option?

I'm not a serious rider, just want to get a general number to follow my fitness progression. Any suggestions? Tks in advance.

It looks like your circumference is about 2394mm.

You can measure this precisely by walking your bike exactly one revolution of your tire, then measuring the distance traveled in one revolution.

You can enter that circumference in Isaac (Edit Profiles/Basic/Tire Circumference/Measured), then transfer it to your PP.

Following up from John's suggestions - with a speed sensor and a Garmin bike computer, you can set up the sensor to use the GPS features (automatic) to get a measured/estimated circumference and enter that value into ISAAC. I have noticed by this method that it actually can determine changes to the circumference with tire pressure, too!
