ThaStig Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Any one running the above mentioned combination on their road bikes? What is your normal reading when calibrating the power-tap before a ride?
IronTree Posted January 11, 2015 Posted January 11, 2015 Any one running the above mentioned combination on their road bikes? What is your normal reading when calibrating the power-tap before a ride?Have he same setup, only the newer G3 hubs show the correct range of around 512....The SL+ is of the older generation and does not display the correct calibration factor.
ThaStig Posted January 11, 2015 Author Posted January 11, 2015 What factor does yours typically display?Mine started at about 472 and has steadily dropped over the past 3 months to 405 now. I've also had to swap the batteries 7 Dec and today again.

ThaStig Posted January 12, 2015 Author Posted January 12, 2015 Hi V12, what do you mean by resetting?Thanks
Guest Smimby Posted January 12, 2015 Posted January 12, 2015 He means "callibrating" on the Garmin. The number MUST be 500 +- 12 that is what Bicycle power SA told me. and the garmin does not acutally do a calibration, it merely READS the PT's calibration. Try removing the battery and leave it out or about 3hours + then put it back and check the calibration. If still not within range, send it in for a proper calibration. R250 and R150 postage either way....  Just had mine done. :-)
