AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Hmm... I don't know if I posted this or hit the wrong button... I always get absurd power readings on a descent. It reads 500-1000 W when my subjective assessment is 100-200 W. I don't think it kicks in magically at one speed, but above 30-35 mph, the readings are obviously bogus. It's been that wa...

Thank you for your quick response. I did a new calibration and so far it looks like the numbers are better. I'll be checking the coastdowns as described on the "checking calibration" posting this weekend.

What would cause the unit to display very high power readings while descending (pedaling)? The power numbers can go well over 1000 even if soft pedaling, and I know there is no way that can be correct.

The heart rate numbers are individual, the one displayed is the captain, the stoker's HR would be in the Garmin unit. The power, cadence, NP, TSS, IF and VI are combined based on the FTP of the two riders on the tandem.
