Racr Sequence - iBike Newton+ Operating Instructions Manual

RACR SEQUENCE

The Racr (racer) sequence contains settings of interest to advanced power meter users and
bike racers.
To access the RACR sequence, enter Setup then scroll to RACR. If the screen says RACR
YES then click up arrow button to enter the sequence; if the screen says RACR NO, then
click the center button, select YES with the up arrow, then click the center button to
accept. Then, click the up arrow to enter the RACR sequence. Here are the steps included
in the RACR sequence:
"RACR YES", then click up/left arrow successively to perform:
Tilt Calibration: "Tilt Cal"
•
Estimate frictional drag: "EST FRIC"
•
Display TSS/IF/NP measurements in the Totals screen: "TSS"
•
Configure Functional Threshold Power: "FTP CFG"
•
Display CdA data on screen (NOTE: iAero feature ONLY): "CdA"
•
Set total hours logged: "TOTAL HRS LOG"
•
Turn PowerBar display On/Off: "Pbar"
•
Display coast friction number: "Cst Fric"
•
Display coast aero number: "Cst Aero"
•
Turn cadence display On/Off: "Cad On"
•
Set total distance logged: "TOTAL ODO"
•
Each of these settings is explained below:
Tilt Calibration: "Tilt Cal"
•
The tilt calibration is performed automatically during the calibration ride, and under almost
all circumstances, there is no reason to perform another Tilt Cal. However, if you move
your handlebars, or otherwise affect the angle of the Newton+ on your bike, you may
perform a tilt calibration. To perform the Tilt calibration, do the following:
1. Enter Setup mode (press-hold up arrow). Enter the Racr Sequence. Click the up
arrow; you'll see the tilt angle in the top window, and the word "Tilt" in the bottom.
2. Set your bike on reasonably level ground. Mark the spots where the wheels touch
the pavement.
TIP: DO NOT PERFORM A TILT CALIBRATION ON A ROAD WITH LOOSE STONES OR
JAGGED PAVEMENT. YOU WILL GET POOR RESULTS.
3. Hold the bike still and upright, with the front wheel pointed straight ahead.
4. Click the center button to start the tilt calibration process.
IMPORTANT: YOU MUST HOLD THE BIKE STILL DURING THIS STEP. AN EASY WAY TO
KEEP YOUR BIKE FROM MOVING IS TO WEDGE YOUR FOOT IN FRONT OF THE BACK TIRE.
5. The screen says "HOLD STILL" and the horizontal bar moves from right to left,
towards zero. Do not move the bike.
Once the bar disappears, the screen flashes "turn 180 degrees".
6. Turn the bike around 180 degrees; the bike now points in exactly the opposite
direction with the tires resting on the same two spots.
