PERSONAL POWER FINE CONTROL

CHAPTER FIVE: MANUAL CONTROL

Manual Control can operate three different ways: Personal Power Fine Control, Bike Mode, and 10-watt mode.

In all modes, change levels either by using the , keys, or entering a workload level with the numeric keys and pressing .

This default manual control has 77 different levels (for a 150-pound rider), allowing you to fine-tune your workout. Since Personal Power is used, the number of levels available decreases for larger riders. This mode uses constant power workload control (see Appendix C).

The second mode is Bike Mode, which simulates a 21-speed road bike, compensating for body weight with Personal Power, simulating air resistance, and computing speed correctly for the selected gear and cadence. The 21 “gears” are like that of a bike that has gearing from 50 to 105 inches.

Bike Mode uses constant torque (see Appendix C), then adds additional workload for the simulations and compensations. The calculations are adapted from the power formulas in Bicycling Science, the leading reference in this field (see Bibliography).

The final mode is a conventional 10-watt increment constant power mode.
