Assioma bluetooth v. ant+
Quote | Reply
Hi everybody, I'm coming to the forum for help. I can't seem to figure this out on my own. I have the assioma duo pedals for over a year now and never had this problem or didn't notice it. Until recently, I only recorded using ant+ on trainerroad and Garmin. Lately I changed my setup to go to only bluetooth on trainerroad and iPhone while using ant+ on Garmin 935. I mostly did this to look at cycling dynamics and because I wanted Garmin to control where the activity was pushed to, not trainerroad.

The problem is that the last couple of rides I did see ant+ measuring 10-15 watts lower for an hour long ride. This is for AP and NP... 193/200 on trainerroad and BT versus 182/190 on Garmin 935. Cadence was identical on both. I checked crank length and FTP seems to be the same on Garmin connect, assioma app, trainerroad, Garmin 935 where appropriate. Also, I zero offset the pedals before starting the ride using trainerroad and got a -1 readout.

Anyone know what's going on here? Thanks for your help.

Andrew

Wild guess you never noticed before because it wasn’t happening

I just got the duo, same problem

Garmin says it’s Assioma’s fault. Assioma told me it’s Garmin’s fault.

What's at fault though? Is power output being dropped or is it just a calculation? My guess is that ant+ is low as I'm getting negative heart rate drift on a steady state ride for an hour.

Is it measuring left and right power over BT, or just doubling one side?

See this thread about setting your pedals to send unified our single-side power over BLE. Maybe that is the cause.

I did have the two channel setup on BT due to the previous issue of freezing. Thats what prompted me to go to ant+ then. I don't use powermatch and have only ride with a dumb trainer.

I had the same problem with my p1s. My problem was with my left/right balance. It was throwing my power off by 10+ watts. My ratio is around 54/46. Now I just use ant+ all the time since that’s what I’m going to be racing with.
