[bruno.oli]

Hi,
i had a 4 day race, and 3 of those days were under rain almost of the time. so my newton was crazy lolol ! i was climbing 4000watts

is there any thing i can do, to prevent this?

Please post your ride file. Also, please post photos of the front of your Newton and also the bottom (where the USB port is).

You have one of the original Newton models. If you do a lot of riding in rainy conditions you should upgrade to Newton 6.

i was racing, couldn´t choose.

i have read in the past, that ibike newton worked in the rain.

just a sugestion, put in the an option on issac to export files without watts. i´m having a lot of trouble doing it.

i whant to calculate HR - TSS IF in wko4

Bruno,

I upgraded my newton to the Newton 6 (it is a body upgrade for a Newton 5 - if you have that). Otherwise the best technical solution for older Newtons is the 'remote wind sensor' which is a hose with collection horn and a back end plug to fit the wind port.
This will block rain from being able to clog the wind port. I had one on my old Newton, worked in the rain.

The Newton 6 body upgrade has also made a non-issue for me. The older Newtons did have some weakness in heavy rain.
There is a repair ride file for blocked wind sensor feature in Isaac you can use too.

Hope this helps,
Russ
