Power Meter Display Question

Jul 6, 14 6:46

I am using the Garmin 910xt and have recently added a power meter. What is the best setting to have on while riding? I have been using power zone but that seems to fluctuate quite a bit. Also, it keeps saying "missing right sensor" although that is there. Any thoughts,tips, advice, etc. would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

Thanks,

Jason Tucker

power zone I dont think has any averaging. Better to use 3s or 10s power. I like 10s since I have a stages and it jumps around a bit more.

Not sure about the missing sensor...are you using garmin vectors?

Thanks I'll try that today! I'm using a Quarq Elsa. The magnet is on there but I guess it doesn't seem to recognize it. The weird thing is, it is still giving me right/left balance.

Thanks,

I use 3s power and lap power. I set the Garmin to auto-lap every 2.5mi. For even pacing I try to keep my lap avg closer to what my goal pace is.
I watch 3s power to make sure I don't go over my upper limit on climbs etc...
The only other thing I look at is heart rate and cadence. Speed is on a second page along with time, distance.

Don't you need to enter your FPT and manually enter zones specs?
