race number plate and powerpod

[bunkasthedog]

I'm a new user and loving it. I have a question regarding race numbers on a sportive. is it likely to affect the powerpod, or perhaps more precisely, is there a way of mounting the number in a way that doesn't affect the powerpod.

thanks in advance

Hmm...I'm not familiar with how the race numbers are mounted. Could you post a picture of a "typical" number as mounted on a bike?

i'm not too sure but this is a picture from the event that shows a typical one.

I think you'll be OK as long as PowerPod is mounted on the opposite side of the handlebar, and the race number is secured a bit so that it does not flap in the wind.

In my experience if you mount the number plate behind the powerpod then you get some very strange results for power - I assume that the disruption of wind/airflow is to blame.
Either mount it on the opposite handlebar, or wrap the number around the headtube.
