Pieterg Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 It is a loan/demo wheel from PowerTap. They have road and mbike wheels availble for testing Yip mine is still on it's way, will use a loan wheel at the walkerville .So be on the lookout for a BIG NINER with a powertap in the 60km race
BicyclePower Posted July 5, 2012 Author Posted July 5, 2012 Any news on the Powercal testing had one or two problems, tryed to have a Skype conversation with they guys in the states yesterday but they all on holiday (july the 4th) will be trying again today. but good news looks like Joule 1.0 is ready so should be ready to ship out order in the next week or so. so not that long from now.
Tankman Posted July 5, 2012 Posted July 5, 2012 Mmmmm debate questions go unanswered. Silence! Sorry I meant science! Science isn't an exact theory is it?

BicyclePower Posted July 9, 2012 Author Posted July 9, 2012 Any further news on your testing of the PowerCal? no the 4th of July has really stuffed things up with the guys in the states of the office pretty much all of last week, trying again this evening to get hold of them.

BicyclePower Posted July 10, 2012 Author Posted July 10, 2012 great news guys and girls, finally got the PowerCal working. will have some graphs up tomorrow to view. will be done on the indoor trainer.
The_Break Posted July 10, 2012 Posted July 10, 2012 (edited) Silence! Sorry I meant science!Science isn't an exact theory is it?No, but you get good and bad science. Good science is usually when you use exacts or you use very good assumptions. Bad science is when you use poor assumptions. If you start out with bad assumptions you will mostly get bad results. I do not mind getting more info on this product, but at the moment it seems like a product that is not based on good training principles and that could lead to many people being either under or overtrained because they do not fall within the generalized dataset. Like I said, I still believe pure heart rate training will be better than this. All this seems to do is make you think you are training with power. It is far from proper power based training.

Remember these, calculations based on wind speed or something silly. Never really took off.
