...suspect a mounting or mount issue. David can you or someone elaborate on the mount issue. The mounting issue is limited to 4 possibilities: 1. bad or no sticky tape on bars 2. bad or no stick on mount 3. mount not cranked down to the max 4. combo of 1-3 So what are the mount issues not related t...

Thanks for spotting that I had an extra step. Not sure what I was thinking, other than going to bed. Your explaination is what I plan on doing today after work. The wind has been way down since Monday, so it will be a good day for the 4mi. What I was describing above is what I did on Sat am before t...

Yep, that is the explaination I was looking for. Just alittle confused by my set up procedures that is all. I went through new 3M/crank down procedure; tilt/offset; 11 CDs and 4mi. Afterwards, my Crr and cda looked high (as RIchard pointed out), but my tilt slope was up and my PE and wattage read ou...

......Whenever you download a ride and iBike2 finds the matching profile for it, iBike2 subtracts this riding tilt from your ride data so that you should see a valid slope signal that comes close to matching what it should be based on the elevation profile of the ride even before doing the tilt cor...

I was getting about 8rs on my wired unit and now almost double if not more on the wireless.

So where are you going to mount your iBike on it?

thanks for the update, will check it out when I get home....unless someone wants to post it up here now

I use Snag-it to caputre screenshots and save as jpg. Then I go to the bottom of the reply and click on "Upload attachment", browse to the jpg and add the file to load.

yea, would be nice to read a 2.0.4 text doc release update. But no matter I drank the purple cool aid and downloaded/installed

Travis, Many thanks for the in-depth response. I understand what the functionality and how it can be used or misused to align oneself with the outdoor conditions. I definitely put my iBIke outside (the garage) so it gets to outdoor temp while I get my bottles ready, dress, etc. Then I go into the ga...

Results as expected and hoped for :o After redoing 3M mounting tape, tape on mount, clinch down mount, psi120; early am CDs (low wind and not cars/big trucks) I have good tilt read outs :shock: My tires are S Works all conditions with 2000+ training and race miles on them. Looking pretty narwley, mi...

..... the original topic.... Which was requesting Travis, John, or Richard...or anybody to give a few paragraphs on the functionality of the wind offset under detail analysis advanced settings of IB2. Let the mods move the threads on camps and pancakes to the other thread I created on such fun thin...

Just read some old threads and it looks like my CDs are an issue...Richard pointed this out a few weeks back :o So as soon as the wind dies down or I do CDs at 3am I will have to ignore my numbers for a few more days or so. I feel confident that the new 3M/sticky tape on mount + cranked down unit to...

cool , downloaded his last 2 days and his tilts match the rides. makes sense. I need to go look at old threads to see other's aero and fric numbers, Boyd's looks sweet.

Did the new 3M stips and tape on mount. New tilt numbers have gone down to 550....down from Sat' ride of 2200. Good to see these numbers going down as that seems to be good. Don't really know cuz the manual and support give no feedback so just guessing here. However, don't really put stock into it u...

...... 1000' of positive tilt slope (if that is the right term). So when you get home you end up being disappointed at the wattage numbers. Yep this is exactly where my tilt stops. From zero and a straight line up to 1000' for the 1.5hr rides I did on Monday, Tues. Wed after I did the tape the tilt...

I am split down the middle: 1. Riding outside of Houston is ok with me, anywhere not flat is great 8-) 2. I want to spend a day or 2 learning all the :geek: geekness :ugeek: of the iBike and troubleshooting issues :twisted: . So MN or WY works. So does Dallas and we can ride your hood :lol: and you ...

Cool, I will try the electrical tape solution. I forgot to mention I get wireless fail all the time too. As always, this forum finds/has solutions :!: Thanks guys :mrgreen: I actually used the electrical tape to tapme my iBike to the mount wrapping it around the mount and ibike yesterda. No wireles ...

While working on putting down some new 3M sticky tape, I noticed that my iBIke has a bit of play while in the mount. I am not talking about the mount moving, but rather you can move the iBike back and forth within the mount itself while the mount is cramped down. My tilt numbers have been whacked an...

I didn't install the 3M because when I went to remove my iBike from my bike, I noticed that it moves in the mount. Not the mount moving, but the iBIke has play in the mount. THink I will open a new thread for this one. Decided to give MTB a try and going to Warda rather than MW and skipping MtD cuz ...

Just bought the 3m from walgreens since they are next to my bldg. Will try it this pm and compare my tilt details between the last week and the next few days. I am really out of choices since my original sticky foam is dead.

I monkey with the ground speed average (because I can naturally - the button is right there) I can get very large changes in my power figures. But I really don't understand this function well (I've read the manual) I hear ya, but with all the new bells and whistles with IB2, the manual is lacking i...

Thanks rIchard, that was my fallback just to go and look for something that was similar to the violin shaped sticky iBike provides. I tested velcro and while it sticks great, it does (barely move), so I ruled it out.

My iBike sticky tape/pad are just about wore out (from moving it from different HBs I was testing over recent months). Has anybody tried anything different or what do you recommend. (I suspect my recent tilt issues are due to this issue). I expect there is something at the local HW store I can pick ...

When should one use the WO analyze feature in IB2? For instance, say I forgot to set my wind offset before the ride, but aftwards use the weather underground site for wind speeds during my ride time period. Do I use the wind offset or the avg ground speed box to insert the value from WU? The example...

The manuals are available for download as well.

Yep, on the main index page under "installation tutorials". All in pdf form.

Same as Fernado, I saw same type of issues with loose jersey's (and this was both my polar and iBike straps). I wear specialized base layer snug against me and no issues.

Try working at a Service Dept of a bike shop. Repairs for free whatever

Oops, didn't mean to bend this thread off topic, which I need to open another one so Rich can spew some cute online info at us :lol: go to http://www.quarq.us quarq is a company that will sell (soon they say) a PM combo that is a power sensor (spider based) and a computer (on-board head unit) to rea...
