You can find instructions at the start of the thread, but we don't know if they will simply the process in the final release so I am hesitant to advise anything else. Who knows what they will do. They seem real content not talking to anyone about anything.
Of course not because all of us using power meters on our bikes in addition to the Kickr have revealed a major flaw in their $1k machinery. P2M is getting beat up relentlessly about their 'drifting' when in fact it probably has been the Kickr all along. They are marketing this like a 'new feature' instead of what it really is, fixing a major problem. They would be well-served to monitor these boards and respond like the other manufacturer reps have.
The discrepancy between my Quarq and Kickr is widening. I have my FTP 25 watts higher in TR (then on my Garmin), program the workouts in TR at the high-end of my power range for a given interval and then in the middle of a hard workout still have to bump the intensity to around 115%-118%.
Where have they "marketed" this as anything? It's pretty clear from the one intervention in this thread by a representative of Wahoo that they were trying to work on this quietly with a small private beta. That's not an unheard of approach in the tech world. Perhaps they're not participating in this thread because, you know, they are spending their time trying to fix the problem. I'm not here to be a Wahoo fanboy, but maybe a couple weeks more of patience is warranted. That's when they've said that they hope to have the public release. If it doesn't come in a reasonable time and they don't explain why, then I'll join in your unhappiness.
FWIW, I had very good luck with the .26 version of the beta in a workout this morning. Almost identical data from my Quarq and from the Kickr. I'm still struggling to get it to work consistently, but when it works, it works very well.[/quote]
I'm not bashing Wahoo, but when Wahoo directly calls it a "feature" in a communication, that's marketing. And I am glad that they are finally owning up to this and diligently working on developing a solution. Those with the Beta app (as you) are showing good results so it's promising. I totally understand why the app was pulled due to restrictions of being part of the Apple AppStore. Just a little communication either here or on their blog/site would be helpful. Cervelo, TrainerRoad, Quarq and others all find time and it's very helpful and builds customer loyalty.
