I cannot see balance at my bike display
ROTOR POWER is able to fully work with dual sided power meter, but
not all the displays available on the market are. Ensure that you are
running the latest software available for your display model and make
sure that it is suitable to work with dual sided power meters.
Ensure you are running at least SW 2.40 for Garmin Edge 800 and
3.00 for Garmin Edge 500 or consult your display manufacturer for
further information.
I can see balance values of 100%-0% displayed while I am
not pedalling.
We have noticed that this unexpected value is displayed sometimes
at certain display models. It only happens when displaying average
balance values like 3, 10 or 30 seconds. These averages are handled
and calculated by the displays, not by the ROTOR POWER. Anyway,
in every case the instant balance value when not pedalling is correct,
50%-50%, as well as the recordings. You can easily check it by
selecting instant balance value (not averaged) to be displayed at your
monitor.
I cannot see balance recordings when trying to analyse my
rides at the computer.
Ensure that your bike display is updated with the last software release
compatible with dual sided power meters. Ensure you are running at
last SW 2.40 for Garmin Edge 800 and 3.00 for Garmin Edge 500 or
USER MANUAL - FREqUENT ASKED qUESTIONS
consult your display manufacturer for further information.
Anyway, although you are running on a display already suitable for
dual sided power meters, some ride file extensions do not carry
balance information, for example Garmin proprietary files. FIT do, but
.TCX files do not. Contact your monitor manufacturer to ensure about
the right file extensions that are able to carry balance recordings.
I can see some balance spikes of 100%-0% or 0%-100% but I
have not ridden with just one leg.
It is common to experience some balance spikes during a ride.
Balance value is the contribution of each leg to the total power per
cycle, if you start the cycle with one leg and suddenly stop pedalling
(while cornering, descending...) without applying power with the
other leg, power balance will be 100%-0% (or 0%-100% depending
the leg that starts the cycle).
How often is the POWER value recorded?
Refreshing and recording depend on displays models. The ROTOR
POWER sampling rate is 500 Hz (500 times per second), data is
stored and managed then, and sent to the monitor following ANT+™
protocols.
Display refreshing takes place usually about every second.
Recording rate can be chosen at the monitor, displays usually offer
the possibility of choosing between 1 second, longer time periods, or
smart recording.
