Re: Multi-sport use
Suunto uses a proprietary version of ANT (so does PowerTap) so their stuff isn't ANT+Sport compatible.

WLS FAIL DURING RIDES
We've had a few cyclists report that they get unexpected WLS FAIL messages during their rides. When this happens the natural temptation is to start replacing batteries, do new pairings, etc. DON'T DO THIS!!! The problem is simple: most likely your sensors have gone to sleep because the bike has been...

Re: Cannot Pair with Garmin Strap
Marc: Your reply is helpful. The first time you paired your HR strap to your Garmin the HR strap sent its wireless ID to the 705. Any subsequent "rescan" simply awakens the 705 and instructs it to look for the previously determined ID. Since your iAero doesn't know the wireless ID of the s...

Re: Cannot Pair with Garmin Strap

Re: Validation of Coast down and 4-mile ride data
Carsten: Your rides were amazingly close. You had less than a 1% difference between aero and frictional drag between the two rides. The primary difference was due to a difference in riding tilt, which is indicative of a possibly different weight distribution on your bike (i.e. how you sat on the bik...

Re: Compatible Trainers Update
My strong guess is that one of the 81 trainers we have listed would be close to yours. What I would do is use your iBike outdoors to get a perceived level of workout, then experiment with a few curves to pick one that is close to yours. The fact is that most trainers are pretty close to each other i...

Re: Cannot Pair with Garmin Strap
We are captive to the pairing protocols that have been created by the ANT+Sport manufacturer (Garmin subsidiary Dynastream). I fully agree that the pairing procedure could be much more user-friendly, but creating that better procedure is something that Dynastream must do. Garmin has much more influe...

Re: SRM with iBike Aero
We'll have SRM/iAero firmware next week.
As Fernando points out, the reason to use the iAero is both so you can see your SRM data (!) and because the iAero works in tandem with the SRM to provide aerodynamic and power information.

Re: Variables For Setup iBike Aero
Make sure to perform the wind offset calibration prior to your ride, after letting your iBike adjust to outdoor temperature. Also, if you did your coast down calibrations prior to performing the wind offset that could be a problem too. If neither of these work then please send me a ride file at jham...

Re: Initial pairing
Make sure your speed and cadence sensors haven't gone to sleep. Wave a magnet past them to keep them awake. If they go to sleep during the pairing process you will get the WLS FAIL message during the HR pairing though everything else is OK.

Re: Crazy Power Reading
I looked at your ride file and the primary issue is the unstable reading you're getting from your cadence sensor. Remember that when cadence goes to zero (as it does far too many times in your ride file) then watts will be forced to zero too. I suspect that your cadence magnet and sensor are too far...

It's fine if you set altitude at home, then go to your starting location to ride. Remember that if the weather changes while en-route to your starting point the elevation your iBike reads at your actual starting location may be different from what the actual elevation is, but that's ok, too.

1) If you lose your wireless pairing AND you have previously saved a profile that included the pairing codes, simply upload your profile to your iBike and your pairing should be restored. 2) If step one fails, then you have one of two problems: 1) your old profile doesn't have the correct codes stor...

Important post script for this problem: bkr emailed us and reported that he determined the root-cause of the wacky wind readings: the wind scaling factor in his profile was 614!
