I have a wired PT wheel I bought in 2006; has worked great (been through two rims plus a bearing rebuild) but last winter it began to act weird in damp weather with abnormally high readings.
I let it sit for months & use another PT I had; put it on my rain bike and gave it a test run in dry weather; ran it in test mode & torque values came back at 515.
Yesterday though I ran it in very heavy rain. Within about 25min the watt values went through the roof.
I zero'd the torque this morning as it sat on the trainer and it was 498w above 0. :)
I know these things are going to be extinct soon as the early gen hubs have no upgrade path and it would seem a shame to retire it; I think it's fine as long as it is dry out or a trainer.
Any ideas here about what is happening?
