AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

has everyone above resolved there problem?

chris

looks like i may have posted (above) a bit early, just got prompted to install FW 4.25...hopefully this will solve my problem.

chris

I am still having trouble. I get one ride out of a battery before I get a "bad batt" message. If I ignore the message I get another ride recorded ok but after that subsequent ride files are split into multiple files. I have done this with 4 batteries. The rechargeable batt looks like it is...

If i leave my iAero on the rechargeable mount over night will it drain the cr2032 battery?

chris

I am also having problems. Despite new cr2032 & fully recharged rechargeable battery I get a "bad batt" message every time i start up my iAero. Batt level drops immed to 260s. I press the central button to remove this message & proceed with my ride. The ride file is split into mult...

Hi,

After a tilt cal. if I was to put my ibike on a slope which read, say, 3.0 % and then turned it around 180 degrees, what would be an acceptable range of values to expect? (-2.8 to -3.2 %?)

Cheers, Chris

Hi John,

Any updates on the new wireless mount? I have a second bike that I am interested in setting up with my iAero but would rather wait for the new mount.

Cheers, Chris

Hi,
Had exact same thing happen recently. Solved the problem by moving the cadence sensor a but closer to the magnet. Presumably under high load the frame/pedal is flexing sufficiently to make the dist between sensor & magnet too large.

Cheers, c

Hi,

I agree that the supplied magnet is rubbish. I bought a cateye one.

Cheers, chris

Hi,

I have had this happen three times (using at least 2 firmware versions, incl latest 4.18)

Cheers, Chris

Hello all, Had a small problem downloading my rides list today. Tried all the usual things: rebooting iB4 software, rehousing iAero onto usb mount, rebooting computer, no joy. After removing iAero battery and reinserting it eventually downloaded todays ride. When I disconnected the iAero from the US...

An update. Received a new battery cover. Initially the iAero wouldn't pick up the sensors, including doing a scan in setup, so did a hard reset on spd, cad and HR sensors. Still no joy so did a hard reset of the wireless mount and worked like a charm. Had three rides now and no troubles with pairing...

Hi,

Got a reply from John and Aaron on a Sunday, pretty good service don't you think.

Cheers, Chris

Hi John, Thanks for the quick reply. I think I have the answer! Was having problems again today and as a final resort in the process of taking the iAero off the mount to do a hard reset the battery, batt cover and a small slither of black plastic fell out. My earlier observation of the cover being a...

Hi all, For my last two rides my iAero has been having problems pairing to the speed, cadence and HR sensors. This morning I put the iAero on the mount, turned it on, Batt test good, and wind cal performed as usual. However, it then wouldn't pick up the sensors. On my 20 min ride to my meeting point...

Hi,

I had a similar problem. Once I covered the screen (and red button) with tape the unit has worked ok since (ca 3 weeks now).

Cheers, Chris

Hi, Russ: Prob ca. 30 degC (85 F) when I did my calib ride/coast downs. Coachboyd: Just noticed in my earlier thread "Newbie calibration question" that the first time I did a calib ride (ca. 4 months ago) I got a tilt of -0.3. This was before I changed my bike setup: moved seat forward, al...

Hi all,

Just an update. Still none of those problems that I had for a few weeks since covering the screen with tape. I would strongly recommend this even if you aren't having any problems. I also covered the red button, just in case.

Cheers, Chris

Hi all, Thanks for your efforts Coachboyd, John & Russ. John, I also noticed that when "Crr adjusted" was used that a sensible CdA was generated as well as a low Crr. I had discounted this option due to the low Crr. I had thought the lowest reasonable value would be 0.004 when riding o...

Hi,

Btw, tubes are just 80-90 g rubber ones, not those 50-60 g lightweights.

Second that Russ, interesting links.

Cheers, Chris

Hi, Most of the roads are reasonably smooth here in Adelaide, at least compared to what I was used to in New Zealand. The aggregate used is a lot finer. Still get rough areas though where the roads need resurfacing. Maybe the marketing people at Assos would like to claim that their clothes are givin...

Hello Giant TCR C0 road bike with Shimano clincher CL 7850 wheels (not deep section) and continental attack force (22 mm) front and GP4000 (23 mm) rear tyres. Rode in the hoods for cal ride & coast downs. The road was pretty smooth so in the software is set Crr to 0.005. Thanks for your help, Ch...

Hello
Could someone please check my data. I have set Crr to 0.005. My weight is 80 kg and height 1.78 m. The CdA seems low at 0.278.
Only use coast down data from 10:15.
Thanks for help,
Chris A

Hi, Thanks John, I have contacted Aaron. I have followed the advice CoachBoyd gave in the earlier thread where he suggested covering the screen with some clear packing tape. It seems to have worked, as despite the continuing hot weather here I have not had a problem since (ca. 1.5 weeks). Looks a bi...

its eerily quiet out there!

Chris

Thanks Coachboyd, just need to find one of those spots now.

Checked the gradient of my coastdown spot as i rode past yesterday, ca. 1-1.5 % incline as getting up to speed and ca. 1.5-2 % incline during coasting.

Cheers, Chris

Thanks for the message, Travis.
My coast downs were done on a section of road that was flat while accelerating and started going up during the actual coast-down. Sounds like it may have been a bit too steep.

Cheers, Chris

For about the past 3 weeks I have been having all sorts of problems with my iAero. The unit seems ok at the beginning of a ride but after a period of time, maybe an hour or two, I either get: i. lcd screen dimming as if the batteries are low but they can't be as I have regularly tried changing them ...

Just noticed that FW404 has been posted (which I have downloaded)....any chance the problem I was having is related to the "improved CdA measurement (iAero only)" tweak?

Cheers, c
