I really love the Ibike it is a great tool. I would love to use it on multiple bikes.
I tried that with my old wired mount that I set on my MTB. Wireless to wired does work without too many issues but back from wired to wireless was a nightmare and did take 30+minutes (removing the batteries, another annoyance.)
Did I just miss something and should have reloaded my profile from the PC or is it really that hard to move from 1 bike to the other ?
I ride 2-3 different bikes most of the time and that number may grow to a few more.
Right now I a frustrated enough to thing about one Ibike for every bike but then there are a few other things that I could do with that money (get another bike)
Best option for Ibike on Multiple Bikes
Re: Best option for Ibike on Multiple Bikes
In a profile you have the wireless id's for your speed, cadence, and heart rate. If those match the ones for the bike, then you should just have to send that profile to the iBike, hit the center button and everything should pair up.
The pairing process is TONS easier than it used to be though, you should never have to remove batteries anymore, just go into wireless config in the setup menu, turn each sensor to "find" and then press the center button. It will find all three sensors and you'll be good to go from there on.
Just make sure that your sensors are the only ones around when setting it to find. I recently helped a team get set up on iBikes and they had all set it up before I got there, and the majority of them had their iBikes paired to teammates sensors. That one was fun to figure out "What do you mean you're showing zero watts when you rode over there by yourself?"

Re: Best option for Ibike on Multiple Bikes
Thanks for the reply.
I guess I will upgrade to the GENIII and order 2 more wireless mounts and sensors for speed and cadence.
I assume that once I paired all the sensors on each bike. It should not matter that then Heart sensor is the same.
Then before I get on the bike I just upload the correct profile and there should be not tweaking of pairing process anymore.
Any experience how that would work if I added one wired bike to the mix. Would this mess up the whole process of would the same principle still be valid just load profile and go for a ride ?
