How do I setup Powerpod for a MTB?
Posted: Sat Jul 16, 2016 3:16 pm
I have setup PP for my roadbike with the calibration ride and after that a 6 mile out and back ride. That seems to have worked for the roadbike.
Compared to what I have seen on the indoor trainer this feels pretty close.
Now I have don't about the same for the MTB but have some questions.
When I connect the PP to Isaac after the calibration ride I guided through some setup steps. Including tire and road type.
The tires and roads/tracks I use with the MTB are not on the lists. What should I use here as a starting point? Or can PP/Isaac calculated these from the calibration and out-back ride?
Picking a tour tire and the very low pressure used in MTB tires doesn't look accurate to me.
The same goes for CdA too. Not sure what to use there.
I have seen the PP fine tune video but I'm not sure how accurate this will be if I start with the wrong settings.
I can upload the first ride files if that helps.
Thanks.
Rob.
