Introduction
PowerStroke is iBike’s exclusive measurement suite of
front-to-back
and
side-to-side
wobble motion of the bicycle, and the analysis of the
Wasted
Watts, Wasted Motion, and Wasted Time
caused by wobbling.
PowerStroke works by adding new technology both to the iBike Newton, and
iBike Isaac software.
In PowerStroke mode the Newton records its data at high speed (16 times
per second), vs. the typical once per second.
Then, iBike Isaac software analyzes the high-speed data, determining the
front-to-back and side-to-side wobbling motion of the bike
each 10 degrees
of a pedal stroke.
Wobble measurements and associated Wasted Watts,
Wasted Motion, and Wasted Time stats are shown in Isaac’s PowerStroke
Window.
NOTE: THESE INSTRUCTIONS ARE TO BE USED IN CONJUNCTION
WITH THE “NEWTON INSTRUCTIONS”, AND “ISAAC
INSTRUCTIONS”, AVAILABLE SEPARATELY IN THE “HELP/HELP
DOCUMENTS…” MENU OF ISAAC SOFTWARE. FOR DETAILED
INFORMATION ON HOW TO OPERATE YOUR NEWTON, AND ISAAC
SOFTWARE, PLEASE REFER TO THEIR RESPECTIVE INSTRUCTIONS.
