Make sure there are no other power meters activated in the vicinity, otherwise your head unit will not know which one to take. The way to do this varies from one head unit to the next, but in all cases you need to “wake up” the power meter and get the head unit to search for it.
Explaining them is beyond the scope of this introductory article. The other power fields, such as Normalised Power (NP), Intensity Factor (IF), Left-Right Balance, Pedal Smoothness, Torque Effectiveness, TSS (and more…) are not important for the first month or so. We recommend displaying raw power, since this gives you immediate bio-feedback. You can choose to display the power number either raw (in one second increments) or smoothed, typically by a 3s or 10s moving average. A quick glance through your head unit’s menu, however, will soon reveal a bewildering amount of different power fields, so which one(s) to choose?Īll you need for the moment is the basic power number, measured in watts, but we suggest also displaying the cadence, measured in RPM. The most basic data you need to display is of course the power. Pair the head unit with the power meter.Set the screen to display the data you want.There are three things you need to do with your head unit before setting out for the first ride: Some power meters are supplied with a dedicated head unit, but all of them will work with the great majority of current head units from brands such as Garmin, Lezyne, Polar, Wahoo (and others). Once your new power meter has been installed on your bike, what next?Īpart from the calibration procedure, the following advice applies no matter which power meter you have.Ī power meter is completely useless without the means to display and record the data during the ride. This article is however not specific to InfoCranks® power meters and remains equally relevant for starting out with any other brand. If you don’t wish to purchase the InfoCrank® after three months, you simply return it.
It doesn’t matter if you already have a power meter: the offer still stands. The power meter we have chosen is the one that British Cycling, the UCI and many other experts at the top of the sport consider to be the best in the world, the InfoCrank®.

The above refers to the online SportTracks app, not the older PC product.If you come to one of our training camps in 2019, you will have the opportunity to ride free of charge with a power meter for three months and enjoy extensive training in how to get the most out of it. In SportTracks that is located under the "My Account > Training" tab. This will handle all the various cases where you use a power meter or don't, or where you use an HRM or don't (GPS only ), and manually logged workouts.
The "limitations" section is particularly interesting.įor the most complete coverage of multisport you'll want to set your heartrate and power thresholds (FTP + Rest/Max HR ) and also your sport-specific zones in both speed and heart rate. One of the best and easiest to digest sources for these models is the summary here: The underlying theories are similar, but the "output" if you will is different. SportTracks (like Strava, and a few others ) uses the Banister model. So you won't see the *same* chart - it's graphing different metrics, apples and oranges. SportTracks uses a different performance model than Training Peaks / Golden Cheetah.
