magnetless sensors,,am i the only one with doubts

Post by hutch1972 »

i see you are pushing this ,, am i the only one that wonders how to correctly cal the pedal annaylisis with this sensor? sorry to ask yet more questions ? i seem to be the only one ,, as a powertap and 4 iii user i wold love to have power on my race bike as it has no power meter ,,,but i cant see mt oget mine any closer than " closely tracking" but in reality often 50 watts out! i alos find the set up description missleading when you talk about adding a known direct force power meter to calibrate ,, yet all you can actually do is " import and compare" then fiddle with various settings..

I honestly do not understand what you are inquiring about in this post.

im asking how to input sensor location on a magnetless sensor,, wont this setup render the pedal stroke function useless? and how can i use my dfpm with my powerpod,, in the set up instructions it appears i can ( page 68 onwards,,, calibrate from a dfpm) yet you told me that this is not possible yet when i asked ! i have sent files showing errors of up to 100 watts compared to both 4iiii and powertap and im told there close! i just want it a bit closer

I will need to see some ride files, both PP and DFPM.

If you're using a magnet less cadence sensor, check the "above chain stay" position.

If you want to use your PP with a DFPM, you need to have the CdA key installed.
