Wind Readings Confusing
Posted: Tue Nov 01, 2016 8:17 pm
I have my PowerPod mounted in front of my handlebar on a K-Edge Garmin XL mount. The wind port is clear of all obstructions since the PowerPod juts our in front of everything except the front wheel.
My first ride with this new configuration was broken into two halves - out and back - because I had to wait 30 minutes to pick up something at the "out" end of my ride and ended up restarting the PowerPod before beginning the "back" trip to be sure my ride was recorded.
The wind speed relative to the bike showed a head-wind over more than 90% of the ride, both out and back. The local weather showed that the wind direction didn't shift during the ride, and I wasn't drafting anyone.
Is this something that can be fixed with settings?
