power meter data
Quote | Reply
got a new power meter the vector s and using the Garmin 510 with it. I was disappointed with the numbers I got off my first ride power seemed way low for my speed. It was on a flat out and back course with a 15 mph headwind/tailwind in the aero position. Does this seem right?

I weigh 165lbs
AVG power 99 W
AVG speed 20.5 mph

No, that's not correct. Did you do all the instal calibrations properly?

no.

did you calibrate it? before first ride, you need to set crank length (manually), installation angle (automatically when pedaling), and zero it out.

if you did all of that...i dunno.

edit: since it's the vector s, maybe the 99W was just one leg...

I thought maybe it was reading one leg only but all the info I find on the vector s, says it should automatically double the power output to give you a total power output. Im gonna do a total reset on it and go through the setup start to finsh maybe that will fix it?
