John, Thanks for the look. I did start each coast down at the same spot, and stopped pedaling at the same spot. Every time except the error, the iBike reported a good coast before the next one. Your comments make me think I've hitting too steep a hill? Roughly how long (distance wise) should the slo...

Russ, Thanks for the reply. And GREAT JOB on the analysis. I did a new cal ride, after a Tilt and Wind Cal, on a flatter course (WOD trail near Herndon, Va) in the morning when the temps were constant. Of course, I followed up with a set of coast downs. The first half were in the drops, the second h...

Russ, You're shooting 50/50. You're right on the handle. I set the Crr to .0055 (value from the manuals) and the CdA dropped to ~.09 and .28, respectively. With values that low, the iBike says I only produce 50W to ride 20mph on the flats. More than fixing the profile, I want to know how to avoid th...

This morning I did two cal riders and sets of coast downs; one for riding on the hoods and another for the drops. Test rides were done about 20 minutes apart. Both were on the same course. I did have two turns on each, but I went slow and gentle. The end result was that I have a CdA of .360 and a Cr...

First, I think it is great that iBike improves software all the time and doesn't charge for it. More people ought to follow their lead. In reference to the csv issue, I recommend that iBike post the last version of iBike software that did not have the new (more difficult) file format. Then, people c...

I would like to disable the Pout function on my iBike as I don't have a GPS or similar device to receive the xmitted data. I'm hoping this would save battery power.

I can't find anything in the iBike computer software nor in the menus on the unit itself nor on the forums.

Any tips? Thanks.

Thanks again for the tip. I'd recommend putting this in the next rev of the PM Operating manual. You guys did a great job describing how the iBike works, and one could logically assumed a Wind Cal need not be done for the trainer. The iBike has a lot of functionality, therefore requires a lot of rea...
