I recently purchased a G3 through WheelBuilder and am using it with my FR310XT. Is there some sort of Getting Started documentation? Specifically, I'd like to know:
1) Should I update the firmware or should it be good to go out of the box.
2) Do I need to run through the calibrate step before every ride?
A lot of the posts in this thread make sense but I feel like I'm missing the first basic steps. I've tried to google this subject as well as search the forum but I'm coming up empty.
One thing that has me puzzled is that I compared two rides over the same 46 mi route, one week apart. My avg power onthis week's ride was 27 watts higher but I was only 2 minutes faster. There was more wind which could have accounted for this but I'm not sure.
Thanks!
Not sure if you ever heard back on this but you should be good to go out of the box. People can get a little crazy with the firmware updates. I mean, it won't hurt anything if you do it but I've had mine for well over a year now and haven't updated it yet. Should I? Maybe. But if it ain't broke. I also have a PT Pro that I can not update myself. It is working fine too.
Regarding calibration, I calibrate mine before every ride. Why not? It takes 30 seconds and you can make sure everything is working.
