REMEMBER
: IF YOU SET EST FRIC TO “YES” THE VALUE SHOWN WILL BE USED BOTH IN
ESTIMATED DRAG COEFFICIENTS AND AS THE ASSUMED VALUE IN COAST DOWNS.
If you do NOT want to use the estimated Crr feature do the following:
1)
Go to Setup/RACR YES/EST FRIC.
2)
Click the center button; the bottom screen flashes. Use the up arrow to select NO,
then click the center button to accept. “done” flashes and the iBike proceeds to the
next RACR screen, TSS
IMPORTANT
: WHEN EST FRIC IS “OFF”, COAST DOWNS WILL MEASURE BOTH AERO
AND
FRICTIONAL DRAG.
TIP
: WHEN COAST DOWNS ARE DONE WITH EST FRIC “OFF”, THE CRR CORRESPONDING
TO THE MEASURED FRICTIONAL DRAG WILL APPEAR IN THE EST FRIC WINDOW.

TSS ON/OFF (iPro and iAero only)
The Gen III iBike incorporates special measurements to help serious cyclists improve their
training. These three measurements, called Training Stress score (TSS
TM
), Intensity Factor
(IF
TM
), and Normalized Power (NP
TM
) are described in the Appendix.
Normally, TSS, IF and NP measurements are not visible in the iBike’s Totals screen (“TSS
OFF”). If you’d like to see them, then do the following:
1)
Go to Setup/RACR YES/TSS.
2)
Click the center button; the bottom screen flashes. Use the up arrow to select YES,
then click the center button to accept. “done” flashes and the iBike proceeds to the
next RACR screen, “FTP CFG”
•
FTP CFG (Functional Threshold Power Configuration)
Functional Threshold Power is another specialized measurement of interest to advanced
cyclists. FTP is described in the Appendix.
There are two ways your functional threshold power can be determined:
1)
By direct measurement in a 1 hour test
2)
By estimate, based on the 20 minute iBike Fitness Test
If an iBike Fitness Test is performed then FTP = Average watts from 20 minute test * 0.95
IMPORTANT
: WHENEVER YOU DO AN IBIKE FITNESS TEST, YOUR ESTIMATED FTP WILL
BE AUTOMATICALLY COMPUTED AND STORED.
If you have measured your FTP by some other means, you can override the results of the
iBike Fitness Test and enter your FTP directly
IMPORTANT
: IF YOU ENTER YOUR FTP DIRECTLY, YOUR IBIKE FITNESS TEST WILL BE
UPDATED. YOUR W/KG SCORE AND YOUR FITNESS LEVEL WILL CORRESPOND TO YOUR
FTP RESULT
