Coasting on PT
When coasting on my PT pro the watts takes a longish time (30 secs) to read zero.
is this normal? if not does it need resetting etc? It is new only had it 3 days |

check what setting you're on for power display averaging. it's in one of the set-ups - can't recall it offhand. 30 seconds IS an awfully long time though. I have mine set at 3-sec (sample) averaging and it takes only a few seconds to roll down to zero. rmur |

The unit should zero within one or two sample intervals (i.e., 3 seconds on the default 1.2 sec sample rate). Well, that's on my PT SL but I don't think the Pro is *that* different? |

Re: Coasting on PT
That seems to have done the trick but the powertap seems to be a reading alot lower than my old polar (about 30 watts) somebody said this may be because the polar does not record zeros and my powertap does record zeros is this true?
Also my friend has an srm and when riding along together his is usually 50 + watts higer than mine (and he is 4 kg lighter) but this is mainly on the flat, on the climbs their is not much in it. |
