Unlikely power/cadence values while sprinting

I have a pair of Rally 200s paired to an old Edge 520 that I primarily use on the track, it works great most of the time. However, when I sprint the watts and cadence briefly (1 second?) drop below reality (fixed gear bike, can't be accelerating with drastically reduced cadence / power). I recalibrate every ride and I've tried repairing a few times with no change.

Has anyone seen similar issues? Any suggestions on fixes?

  • I encounter this with both Vector 3 and Rally power pedals. I'll post the full detail tomorrow with a number of data sets. I've sent these to Garmin a few months ago with no reply. I'll be posting again for more visibility - And because it happened again this week on a sub 1000W 'sprint'... not ideal.
