Sorry that it wasn't clear, but the focus of this Wizard is to make things easy for first-time customers. The idea is that they can enter as much information as possible while sitting at the computer and then follow the steps in the video to do the rest on the bike. By following the steps, hopefully a first-timer can quickly get their iBike calibrated without the need of using the "Edit Profiles..." window. It can still be a good tool for existing customers to use, but the main focus was to make things as easy as possible for first-timers.

- (a.) The first choice is, "Yes, keep previous cal ride." Does this mean that the iBike software will associate the most recent cal ride with the new profile, even though that cal ride may have a different rider/bike weight associated with it? Even though that cal ride may have had the rider using aero bars instead of regular drops?
At the beginning of the wizard, the user is prompted to attach their unit to the computer. The wizard then pulls out the information that is already stored in the unit. For a first-time customer, the values of wind_scaling and riding_tilt would be the factory-default values in which case the "Have you already done a cal ride on this bike?" control is grayed out and automatically set to "No, Do Cal Ride Later" and the wizard simply uses best-guess values for wind scaling and riding tilt. (The reason that the "Mount Type" becomes available is because knowing the mount helps the wizard know what value to use for wind_scaling.) Hopefully the user completes the wizard, watches the video, and does the rest of the cal steps on the bike including the cal ride; however, even if they don't do all the on-the-bike cal steps the wizard has loaded "best effort guesses" into the unit so that they can get reasonable power data. If they do all the steps shown in the video, the data should be in good shape. Once the user does the cal ride, the values of wind_scaling and riding_tilt overwrite the guesses from the wizard.
If the either of the values of wind_scaling or riding_tilt found in the unit at the beginning of the wizard are different than the factory default values (perhaps because the first-time customer has already done a cal ride based on reading the written instructions), the user is presented with the opportunity to keep the results of the cal ride currently in the unit. It might have not been clear, but the wizard does not use any information from saved profiles in the "Edit Profiles" window--again, the thinking is that list is empty for a first-time customer.

If I do the cal ride later, how do I associate that cal ride with the profile I just created and sent to my iBike prior to the cal ride? I assumed I could do that in Profiles/Edit Profiles, but I don't see how to do it. I also tried Profiles/Download Coast-Downs & Calibration Ride, but I could not see how to create a profile using either of the two cal rides I did today after using the new Startup Wizard. Do I also need to do Coast-Downs to create a profile using Profiles/Download Coast-Downs & Calibration Ride? Since I did not do coast-downs (the new Startup Wizard does not require them), it looks like Profiles/Download Coast-Downs & Calibration Ride defaults to assuming I used a DFPM, which I did not use in this case.
There are two different ways you could use the wizard to get your TT bike set up:
1) If you have already done a good cal ride that is saved in a profile, load that profile into your unit before launching the wizard. Answer "yes, keep previous cal ride" and it will be combined with your other settings to make a new profile.
2) Or if you want to redo your cal ride, launch the wizard and answer "no, do cal ride later" and after completing the wizard go out and do a new cal ride as shown in the video.
In either case combining the results of a cal_ride together with the information entered in the wizard will result in a complete profile being written into the iBike device. People with just one bike are good to go; however, in your case where you need to keep more than one profile you can open the "Edit Profiles..." window and click the "Extract from iBike" button in order to save the new profile to your list.
"Boyd in a Box" will be a little different and won't use the Wizard. It has finally bubbled to the the top of my priority stack, and I'm working on it as I can, but at this point I'm still trying to get the emergency issues caused by the release of Mac Lion sorted out so that I can get a new build out there to address them. I'm trying to take care of you existing customers--and note that I would like to use the Boyd in the Box features myself! I would benefit as much as you guys! But we've got limited resources and have to balance effort for the new products and support for new customers. But again, the Boyd in a Box has bubbled up to my top non-emergency task list. I will work on it in stages and tackle the "low hanging fruit" first.
