AeroPod, PowerPod and Newton

Can you tell me what needs to be adjusted if I swap from a handlebar default mount to a Garmin out-front combination mount? At the moment I swap between two roadbikes (winter and fixed winter) by switching the PP to another handlebar mount and use the same speed sensor, start riding and disable the Power meter on my Garmin for 8 min. This gives consistent readings between bikes. Weight, position and tyres are not so different, so just the one profile. You will be delighted to know that when riding fixed, power does drop to zero when I'm not applying force and just "coasting", I've therefore not bothered with a paired cadence sensor.

My third roadbike and my race bikes both have outfront combo K-edge mounts, so will I need an additional profile for this mounting option? I have two PP's (red and black, of course) and two magnetless speed sensors, so I have the option of additional profiles for each PP, although the red is on a dedicated TT bike and I'm reluctant to move it (I use a bolt rather than the supplied thumb-bolt and access is not easy under the aerobars), I can remove it's speed sensor, pair this with the black PP and mount to the oufront race bikes. Please advise?

One final thought, I had little joy with the original combo cadence/speed Garmin sensor (although it did give me the highest readings I've ever seen thanks to being faulty), nor the Giant integrated ones, but the front hub mounted magnet-less speed sensors have been utterly flawless. Have you considered adding them to the package by default, since a lot of initial set-up errors seem to come from the initial speed sensor pairing? Perhaps you can do a deal with Garmin . I view the power meter as the combination of PP unit and speed sensor anyway.

Kind regards,

If you are using your PP on a bike with a different speed sensor, then I would set up a separate profile for that bike, and for easy and accurate setup, do an out-and-back calibration.

We are evaluating magnet-less sensors, to offer as an option with PP.

Aside from feeling pretty rubbish, I rode 140km with the PP mounted on combo Garmin mount on the nice bike with just the swapped speed sensor. I made sure I didn't wake the Giant integrated sensor first. Power was consistent with other bikes. I'll use the second sensor and do a calibration for comparison next, but find swapping between the three bikes is fast and reliable.
