O&B calibration ride question

Post by speedyvelo »

When you setup the O&B calibration ride one of the questions is what type of pavement the road has (eg smooth asphalt). Is the response the pavement where you do the O&B ride OR the usual type of surface you do most of the ride?

Do I have to redo the ride IF what I did is not correct or I can change it in the Profile.

Thanks.Love this gadget.

Where you do the most riding.

You can manually change the road type (Crr) in Edit Profiles, but it is a bit tricky. You can read how in Isaac instructions.

It might be easiest just to do another Device/Setup Device wizard, followed by an O&B ride.

John,

Thank you that's what I did, I use the type of road I do most of the riding. I had a Crr 0.0060 which seems to be the default value for mixed asphalt and that is what I wanted. The frictional resistance went up as I updated my weight, which now includes my weight with clothes and shoes and the bike with the water bottles full and tool seat bag.
My Colorado profile is with hand on the hoods because is where I spend most of the time when I climb. In Arizona I have another profile with hand on the drops for the same reason.
Numbers are pretty real and repeatable. In summary everything is working great.

Thanks again for your invaluable help John
