Powertap conversion question - after converting an old standard powertap to a fixie/track hub with the surly fixxer and custom axle, I find all the displays on the head unit seem to work well including the 'watts'
So after a while I get off the bike, zero the torque, turn back to 'watts' and ride away - but no watts are now reading - nothing on the watts at all. I get off and check the torque which I've zero'd and its hovering around 000 (+/- 1or 2), get back on and still nothing on the watts, no matter what speed/effort I'm doing
Yet if I do a reset on the head unit - the watts will now display, but with no pressure/movement on the pedals the torque hovers around 75-80. If I leave it the watts display, if I zero it, no watts will display
Would this have something to do with the conversion, I have two head units and they both do the same thing. The watts that do display when the torque is hovering around 70-80 seem to have a reading consistent to my actual power output
Can anyone assist
thanks
