Newton reading very low all of a sudden

Post by danhulbert »

Hi, for the last 3 weeks or so my Newton has been pretty useless. It started reading about 100-200W lower than it had been and is inconsistent. I have tried a re-cal twice with no success.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello danhulbert,

I just took a quick look at your file and your negative CRR value jumped out at me. That cannot be correct.

Regards,

Sorry,
I can't resist qualifying my post, cannot be unless you have warp drive wheels :D

From your advances stats:
Rolling -225 -119.9 -0 W
CdA: 0.373 m^2; Crr: -0.0156

Now if you tweek your CRR to .005 (typical)
you get this in advanced stats:
Power 0 259.1 1084 W
Rolling 0 38.4 72 W
CdA: 0.373 m^2; Crr: 0.0050

Regards,
Russ
