Loving all the LYC love but man you guys have to upgrade!! Joule and Joule GPS are way better! Joule has all the upside of the LYC and none of the negative.
The LYC rocks. No way around it. Reliable, not too big, not too small. Enough data that you are good to go not so many fields that it's clogging things up to just have something on it.
Sometimes upgrading is downgrading. As a coach I've got over 5000 power files and I've yet to see anything that sells me on it being better than the LYC as a head unit.
Brian,
A couple questions about the LYC for an athlete I coach:
1. How do you calibrate?
2. How do you get into interval mode?
3. Is it possible to see average watts in the interval mode?
Thanks!
1. You can't calibrate the slope of the PT but you can zero the offset and check the slope calibration. Instructions to zero it are in the manual and you can google 'powertap stomp test' for info on checking calibration.
http://forum.slowtwitch.com/...rum.cgi?post=2327720 has some discussion on the stomp test.
2. Press & hold mode button to enter interval mode ('INT' should be displayed on left side). Intervals are marked by pressing select and mode together.
3. Use the mode button to highlight the top line where Watts are displayed. Once the top line is highlighted pressing the select key will cycle through power, average power and max power. This works whether you are in normal or interval mode. In interval mode it gives you the avg and max power for the interval.
