Power discrepancies following period of no use
Posted: Wed Jul 24, 2019 9:15 am
Hi
I haven't been using my PowerPod much recently due to doing some gravel riding and not getting round to running it on that bike. Having completed that event I am back on my normal road bike.
I put it on my bike and on the first ride it seemed to have defaulted to a trainer mode. So last night I turned off trainer mode despite it not being in that mode the last time I used it. I set up a new profile based upon my main profile (worked well previously) and went out this morning. so on the flats my readings are where I would expect however on descents the power would climb initially as I accelerate despite putting less effort and then they would go to zero whilst not peddling and on the climbs the power would be showing well below what I know I would be outputting (90w vs 200w).
I will include my cal ride as that would appear to be the next steps when I get home. I suppose I am surprised that I had this running fine and has only really come about following a period of not using the PowerPod (12 weeks of no use).
Has anybody got any ideas?
Thanks
