Goldencheetah pair bluetooth trial#

Im going to the store to get a fresh set of batteries. they told me, without ANY other advice in the email, word for word, I have reached out to power 2 max as well. the fit file on the other hand is showing TONS of gaps, and an average power of 150w, with a normalized power of 173w. What I did not expect was the file on my garmin head unit reading differently from the dowloaded fit file! The head unit shows the true numbers which i feel are accurate based on 100,000km+ of riding at this pace. avg hr 147 There are power cut outs that mimic the current issue, which I expected. The karoo fit file, dashboard, and head unit all show the same power numbers (focusing on power more than cadence here) 160w average, 181w normalized. I did a 90 minute ride today with both my hammerhead and garmin 820, with the garmin in my pocket for most of the ride (i've done this in the past with no connectivity issues using my quarq) and my finding are VERY curious. Something very interesting is happening on my end. (ive tried everything suggested by hammerhead in the past, again.)

Hope this helps, ill keep updating as i learn more through trial and error this week. Though, as long as youre getting consistent numbers, and you only have one power meter ( WHICH I AM NOT, and i have multiple power meters ) it shouldnt matter a whole lot.Ī year ago, i didnt use my karoo at all because of this same issue, though it was SIGNIFICANTLY worse, its so much better now i almost didnt notice, but its still a 30w difference in average power on a 2h ride compared to the numbers from my garmin. Having a pm that reads high, or low, seems invaluable.

coming from a SRAM quarq which was within 8w of the power2max at 350w for 5 minutes, these were similar enough i could swap over. While changing my power averaging to exclude 0's might solve this entirely, im not a fan of having consistently higher power numbers. What else i noticed was that it would occasionally still read my cadence, and that only the power is missing for 1-3 recording seconds.Ĭycling Canada abandoned the wireless SRM units on the velodrome due to EMI, though i feel i shouldnt be getting EMI on a rural farm road in western canada, with only my phone around. On further inspection of my ride, looking at the individual recordings for each second of data, there will be the occasional '0' in the power slot. before stopping the first time after 15 minutes of conscious continuous pedaling, there were no data gaps.įollowing my 30 minute cafe stop, the gaps re appeared. I went for another 2h ride, with a the hammerhead heart rate monitor connected (dont even get me started on the heart rate monitor) and a couple stops. I ONLY had the NGeco powerbox connected, and it showed no recording gaps. This morning i reset all my devices, and powermeters, and re installed all the latest firmwares.įollowing this, i went for a short ride, with 3 efforts at 3,4 and 5 wpk, running alongside my garmin 820.
