TimRusso Posted February 20, 2023 Share 51 minutes ago, Jbr said: do they also come with a setting to correct the readings like Xcadey ? I think that is brilliant because let's face it, not often two power meters read the same, and when you train on different bikes it's nice to have some consistency.... I set my Xcadey to report 95% of what it reads... First time I did 5mins intervals on it I smashed my PB numbers 🤣 Jup, can increase and decrease the readings via the app👍🏻 Jbr 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a workout on my Kickr, measuring the differences between the 4iiii and the kickr, then the Xcadey and the Kickr. Differences went up to +8%! My kickr seems to read very very low. I decided to stick to what my 4iiii / quarq read because I had 2years worth of data. Before that I had a rotor that read more like the xcadey, some numbers I did 3 years ago I still haven't improved today... 🤣 Edited February 20, 2023 by Jbr Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cycle Online Sales Posted March 20, 2023 Share Who is ignoring you? as I just spoke to Juan and he doesn’t have a email from you . if it’s via the website they closed till Wednesday. if it’s a grey import you might have to deal with who you bought it from .

The online web shop (Arancee via AliExpress) and XCadey in China is ignoring me ... Yah, I am starting to make peace with the fact that I wont get it sorted via a warranty claim ☹️.

I'm so far happy with the unit except that it showed 100% battery until it turned off yesterday 🤣 Now it's all charged up and working again, might not trust it too much and just recharge it every now and then, just like I recharge my Di2 before each race even if the LED is green TheoG 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think so, at least for that one they say it is compensated in the software : Quote in which the built-in intelligent temperature compensation algorithm can ensure to provide accurate power value for you any time in all kinds of weather.
