Ibike Pro & opposing wind speed
Posted: Wed Mar 11, 2009 1:42 pm
I've been following the ibike now for some time and really like the imporvements they have made over the last couple of years. I am ready to pull the trigger on a power meter and like the price point and the interchangeablility of the ibike.
But 1st I have a couple of questions, hopefully I am in the right place to get some answers.
I am currently eye balling the wireless ibike pro, and my questions are:
1. will the i-pro show bike speed vs opposing wind speed? Boyd Johnson did a article "using the ibike pwr meter and ibike 3 software to improve racing tactics" in this article he states he is using the i-aero and outlines the different types of data that can be downloaded. As a road racer this particular graph would be of great benifit to see how much work I am or am not doing at the front, this is a huge draw for me to the ibike vs other pwr meters. Will the i-pro give me the same data as the i-aero in this regard?
2. Can I save $ and buy the wired mount for my TT bike (secondary bike) and use it with the wireless i-pro head unit and still get the benefit of HR, or is all the wireless tranmission recieved by the mounting unit? I could always use my polar for HR but I don't really want to bog down the TT rig with 2 cpu's but I think I could justify it for the savings diff between the wired mount vs the wireless mount.
Well that's all I got!!! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
