Thanks for the tip.
I did not realize I could start my SRM manually - I thought I needed the speed input to make the SRM start.
The main thing I want is watts.
That would solve my problem. Yahooooo!
I am going to test it first and then place my order for the LeMond.
I know - Read The Manual - do not assume.
From SRM V Manual:
Turning the PowerControl on and off
The PowerControl turns on when:
You press the “Mode” button
The wheel speed sensor is activated by the wheel magnet passing by the sensor (i.e.
when the wheel spins, so anytime the bike is moving)
You connect the battery charger
You connect the download cable to the PowerControl and your computer, and communication between the two begins (this only works if the serial port runs with enough current, otherwise you need to press the “Mode” button) Even if the PowerControl is on, it doesn’t receive any power data through the sensor cable until the PowerMeter is turned on. This happens when you start pedalling, (backwards or forwards). The PowerControl turns itself off when it hasn’t received any data for a 20 seconds. It stays on when the battery is charging. The PC-V display shows the time and date when it is in stand-by mode, if the screen is blank then the battery is completely dead. The PC-IV display turns off completely when the PowerControl
isn’t being used.
Cheers,
