Loss of Power reading

Post by benlane »

I use the original ibike unit with a wired mount.
On my last ride I was seeing speed, getting a sensible tilt and wind reading whilst riding, the distance covered increased in line with expectation.

but I was getting a 0 power reading. Downloading the file showed a couple of readings throughout a 35 minute ride. But nothing more.

any ideas?

If you have a cadence sensor it's likely that your cadence reading went to zero; this forces watts to zero. Check the position of your sensor and make sure your magnet is sweeping close to the sensor.

john

no cadence sensor in use. It seemed to be back to normal this morning however, but it was strange to have readings for every other measure (wind, slope, speed, elapsed time, distance travelled) but a zero for power.

Yeah, it's weird that two of these exact same cases came up at the same time, but like in the other case, try to upload your file to here (make sure you have a profile attached to it) and I'll see if there's anything that jumps out at me.
