Please Email me at [email protected]. I have some questions (off lime) about the Real Axiom software.tonyzackery said:I have the Performance Bike (made by Elite) Real Axiom VR Trainer. I find the speedometer on the trainer reads about 1 mph slower than both my Polar 725x and VDO cyclometers.
I'm wondering if anyone has done any comparisons with regard to the accuracy, or lack thereof, of the electronic ergometer/trainer power meters versus the on-the-bike power meters.
And that's exactly why I voted other as none of the PM's seem to work OK in all fields..JTE83 said:I rely on 5 wired Polar Powermeter and they aren't **** to me. They're accurate in the bike workout power levels, but probably not in the 53/11 combo at high speeds. Just not good at high speed sprint power levels maybe, but I'm happier with my Polar than my unreliable ergomo with it's $700 computer that goes bad.

You've obviously never used an SRM.Digital P said:This poll is between the bad and the ugly.........
I, for one, wouldn't be too sure about that. I purchased a DA Compact SRM in Feb '07. In ~1.5 years it has been sent in at least 4 times for repairs. In February of this year the PowerMeter had to be replaced. Beginning in July I started to lose cadence & power readings after anywhere from 3 min's to 2 hours of riding. I have sent it in twice in the past 6 weeks and they've not been able to diagnose the cause (after speaking with one of their Tech's we determined that it wasn't my set up).Jono L said:You've obviously never used an SRM.
Why is it a bad thing to record your power at all times? If you don't want the data, don't download it, just clear the memory.pinoybiker said:i like the features of the polar especially as you can monitor your power without recording. powertap once running has no button to stop recording and no capability of just monitoring. once the wheel rolls then it records.
Problem with the polars is they didn't put enough memory in to record a decent length ride in the first place, so you end up choosing an "option" to not record some data or to record at a much lower sampling rate than is ideal.grahamspringett said:Why is it a bad thing to record your power at all times?

I would've thought it's a plus that it records automatically. What happens if you forget to start recording during a key race or training session? Or you stop recording if somebody punctures and forget to restart?
It's not like it's gonna wear out the memory!!
