AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

The "Erase Ride Data" command only erases your ride file data. You are correct that all calibration and profile data is stored in a different area of memory and is not erased.

With a low battery temperature, power, and elevation readings go crazy. All readings stored in the iBike's memory (profile settings, ride data) remain untouched.

If you had checked your battery voltage once the iBike's temperature had reached 34F, I bet it would have been below 2.75!

The 2.75V recommendation is for warm, summer temperatures.

In winter I'd put in a new battery prior to every ride, especially when the outdoor temperature is 34F.

iSport to iPro upgrade instructions are attached.

Haven't seen this one before...

The main thing to know is that the Gen III is MUCH less sensitive to temperature changes. Your procedure is fine...

The temperature stability of the wind sensor is much better in the Gen III so it should not be a major crisis if you forget to do a wind offset. On my Gen III I often do not perform a wind offset; I put the iBike on my bike, push the center button to pair, and ride.

You're correct that if you are using your iAero on a bike without your PT, just set Pin to "None" and your iAero will work just fine. Set Cad to Find (or Paird) to get your sensor working. Since you are using a disc wheel your aerodynamic drag may be different so you should do a new set of...

The reason for your problem is that there is an error in your profile. Specifically, in the "advanced" tab in the edit profiles function, you'll see your bike + rider weight listed as zero. This causes an infinite Crr. I don't know why this problem happens in iBike 3 but I will try to find...

Here are the detailed instructions for the optional wireless mount for the iSport. The iSport's wireless mount is identical to the wireless mount used in the iPro and iAero.

I just responded to another posting of yours on a different forum. Your unit has been misprogrammed and is not functioning as an iAero. Please return it to us for reprogramming.

The problem is that your iAero has been mistakenly programmed as an iPro. The iAero does not have an estimated CdA function.

Please return your unit to us and we will correct this problem immediately.

For your wireless PT ANT+ to work with your iBike, three conditions must be met: 1) You need a Gen III iAero 1) Your Gen III iAero needs firmware 3.0.3. If you need this firmware email us and we will send it to you. We will post this firmware soon. 3) Your wireless PT needs to have ANT+ firmware ins...

Here's what is going on. In your cal ride both your wind scaling factor and your riding tilt are determined. Riding tilt is the correction factor that accounts for the effects of your body's weight distribution causing changes to the tilt calibration of your iBike. A correct riding tilt measurement ...

You'll need either the "iPro G" or "iAero G". Either product has everything you need to work with your new Garmin system.

The only iBikes we sell from the iBike Store are Gen III units.

Your patience shall be rewarded...

You'll find the most current instructions in the Help menu of iBike 3.

You can also find the iBike owner's manual, including Gen III updates, here:

We thought the pre-programmed intervals would be of interest to most iPro owners but we're certainly not trying to take away a prior feature.

Look for a firmware update in the near future that will give the option for the standardized intervals or the custom programming of intervals.

We made a mistake in our marketing materials. We should have updated this information (it was written for the original iBike) to reflect the changes in the Gen III iPro. When we make product changes there are many documents we need to check and change as needed. We missed this change but we'll fix i...

There is a lot of new information stored in the iBike 3 ride file format. Most of it is background information that can be used to check things if a ride file has been sent to us for analysis. Don't mess with the information in the far right columns; it could screw up your ride file! Do NOT attempt ...

You get that message because your iBike 3 software is still installed, so the reinstallation does nothing.

Launch iBike 3 and go to Help/About iBike... Make sure you have version 3 or higher.

If we come out with a new product right now our employees and our Gen III customers will storm the doors of our factory!

Yes, you'll need to send your serial number to us for your Gen III so we can send you your Garmin key.

Your Crr is too high; for asphalt roads it should be around 0.004, not the 0.008 in your ride. Tweak your Crr to 0.004 in iB3 and you'll see the results you expected. You can see where rain filled your wind sensor port between minutes 47 and 57. You can remove the iBike blow the wind out of the port...

If you can find a speed/power profile for Tacx trainers we'll add them to the next release of iBike 3!

Tom: Your estimated CdA on the hoods is 0.36 with summer clothing. Your iBike has a default CdA of 0.4 loaded into it so it is probably quite close to your winter gear number. I would just ride with the default values in the iBike. Once you do your coast downs and Cal Ride you can re-interpret your ...

As of December 10 2008 Also, any trainer profile can be custom edited in iBike 3 We now support some rollers, too. Trainer Model 1Up USA, 6 Pockets 1Up USA, Inner Pockets 1Up USA, Outer Pockets BlackBurn Fluid CycleOps Fluid^2 (data source: A) CycleOps Fluid^2 (data source: B) CycleOps Fluid^2 (data...

This is very strange.

Do a hard reset to make sure your iBike firmware is functioning properly.

Yes, if you splice the wire on your wired mount so that it reaches the rear whee,l and if you have the trainer firmware installed, any iBike of any generation will work.

This is not an iBike 3 issue. If you did not see cadence during your ride then your cadence sensor either was not operating properly or wasn't paired to your iPro. Make sure your cadence mount is set up properly and that your cadence mount is paired. The iPro will switch automatically from CAL to RP...
