Help with low reading
Posted: Mon Apr 23, 2018 6:17 am
Hi,
First of all hi to everyone here on the forum and secondly thanks to Velocomp for developing the Powerpod.
This is my first powermeter and I am really keen to get started and add a new impetus to my training and fitness level. I have carried out the out and back calibration ride and done a few rides with the pod and it seems consistent on all rides. I do however see that it seems to be reading between 70 or 80 watts below. I have carried out several comparisons with training partners on flat roads and it always comes out the same. In fact I was lucky enough to have a friend with a SRM that weighs and measures the same as me, ride with me this weekend, so I have now done a side by side ride and it still seems to be the same. About 80 watts lower. This is fine of course as the consistance means I´ve already done and FTP test and have been using it for intervals around the "sweet spot". BUT would you mind checking my calibration file and ride files to see if there´s anything I can tweak to get a more "accurate" reading? I would really appreciate it!!!
Look forward to hearing from you!
Chris
