Re: Profile 4 Test Anomaly

Hi John, One additional question, in terms of importance for CdA testing accuracy, am I correct to say that the out and back portion (from 0-50W, then 51-70W) is the most important? Whereas 71-100 can be done "badly" (corners, braking, inconsistent position, etc), and it wouldn't have any ...

Re: Profile 4 Test Anomaly

Thanks for the responses! I feel like an "aeropod/isaac advanced users" manual should be made somewhere down the road :D

I'll keep up the testing and probably use this thread as an ongoing results/questions database! Truly appreciate your quick and detailed responses!

Re: Profile 4 Test Anomaly

Further to this, a couple more questions regarding Isaac: 1) In the interest of accuracy, I've been weighing myself with my gear before my test rides - if my aeropod has been calibrated well and I simply want to change my weight, and/or adjust tire pressure, would it just be a matter of clicking &qu...

Re: Profile 4 Test Anomaly

Thanks for that info! So I've got a number of what if questions that I've come up with over the last few days of tests... 1) Am I correct to assume that the out-and-back part of the calibration ride is to set the wind sensor and tilt sensor? 2) With the wind sensor setting in mind, if I'm doing my o...

Re: Profile 4 Test Anomaly

Hi John, I did another day of testing, and I started off with another calibration ride (I tried to use the "Check Calibration" feature in isaac to export a corrected profile to profile 4, but perhaps it wasn't happy with that). In any case, after doing the calibration ride, all looked good...

Re: Profile 4 Test Anomaly

Also, one additional question, where did you grab those Lap CdA values from? I'm trying to compare them to the HR data channels, but I can't seem to figure out the conversion. Wasn't it HR * 4 / 1000, or has that changed with the new firmware?

Re: Profile 4 Test Anomaly

Thanks for the reply! That's awesome to know that the device corrects itself! I'm honestly not sure what might have been the cause of the tilt shift, as the aeropod still seems to be in the same position as I had set it in (I tightened the gopro clamp bolt really nice and tight). After the lap 4 dev...

Profile 4 Test Anomaly

Question for John! After a long hiatus, I finally took the time to try out the latest firmware with the updated profile 4 specific to testing. To test for consistency, I ran 4 consecutive tests using identical setups, same position, down to my head position. The day wasn't entirely ideal, as I had s...

Re: Comprehensive Instructions for AeroPod

I'm reading through the latest instructions about the aero testing for profile 4 (page 16/39 on the pdf), and I'm a bit unclear about 9): it says click the lap button at the end of the test for out-and-back testing. Would it be a problem if we're doing an out-and-back with a u-turn (where we have to...

Re: Use Aeropod without isaac

What usually works for me is to replace the Aeropod connect IQ data field with something else temporarily, and then change the field back to the Aeropod connectIQ data field. Fortunately when this happens, the Aeropod is still recording your data for analysis on Isaac

Re: Drift in Values

Thanks John for the wonderful detailed reply!! The method makes sense to me - I was testing fairly small changes that I wasn't sure would be measurable (ie comparing between two very fast TT helmets. Test #4 was the "expected best" run, as I took off my bottle and put on shoe covers. I thi...

Re: the first 5 minutes of any new ride are critical

Actually, I think you CAN ride very slowly for 5 minutes. And if you ride a bit faster and have to stop...let's take the risk! Please post a ride file and we will see what your adventurous experiment yields. All right, I just gave it a try today for my commute! The first and second rides, I started...

Drift in Values

I've recently done a couple test sessions at a paved running track, and in both sessions, it looks like my tilt values have taken a permanent shift to a positive tilt. After it happened for the first time, I made sure to crank down the bolt really hard so that it doesn't move at all even when I push...

Re: the first 5 minutes of any new ride are critical

OK; but how about if I ride very very slowly for 5 minutes? Is there a minimum speed? I'm asking because where I live, unless I go ride around a running track, there's no sections of road I can ride on for 5 minutes without stopping for lights (unless I ride very slowly...like 10kph)

Re: the first 5 minutes of any new ride are critical

Hi John, Two related questions here: 1) Is there any way to re-use the previous ride's calibration if the aeropod hasn't been moved at all? (ie. it turns off during a coffee stop and we just want to start riding again) 2) In the 5 minutes of riding, is it 5 minutes, regardless of speed? ie, could I ...

Re: Powerstroke Option?

I don't have a separate cadence sensor, although I've been using the same power meter this whole time (a Power2Max Type S). I was getting powerstroke readings in rides I was doing back in March/April/May prior to the 7.06 firmware, but now, for some reason they aren't turning up - is it possibly rel...

Somewhat related to this, it appears that I've lost the powerstroke feature for my Aeropod in recent rides! Checked the features in Isaac and I should have it..

I have the kickstarter aeropod, if that makes any difference!
