3)
Wind offset is performed before the ride,
after
the iAero is acclimated to outdoor
temperature
4)
You’re doing a solo ride (not in a pack)
5)
The pavement quality is the same as that used in the calibration ride
6)
Cross-winds are small
7)
Temperature is reasonably constant during ride
8)
Bike is working properly (i.e. brakes aren’t rubbing on the wheels, tires are inflated
properly)
9)
(DFPM ONLY) your DFPM is calibrated properly and working properly
iAero drag coefficient and Time Advantage measurements aren’t as good when:
1)
You’re drafting
2)
when you’ve performed the setup calibrations improperly
3)
you do not perform wind offset properly before the ride
4)
road conditions are significantly different from your calibration ride (e.g you
calibrated on asphalt but you’re riding on a sandy beach)
5)
ride temperatures change by 20F or more during the ride
6)
Your bike’s condition has changed significantly (e.g tire pressure is low)
SUMMARY
: YOUR IAERO WORKS BEST WHEN 1) IT IS SET UP AND CALIBRATED
PROPERLY; 2) YOU’VE CHECKED TILT AND PERFORMED A WIND OFFSET CALIBRATION
PRIOR TO YOUR RIDE; 3) YOU’RE RIDING SOLO; 4) ROAD CONDITIONS ARE SIMILAR TO
THOSE OF YOUR CALIBRATION RIDE
