Manual wheel size

Hi,

I?ve got a problem with wheel size in the 1030 speed sensor.
I use a spinning bike and in the edge 1000 I configured manually de wheel size but in the 1030 the max size is set to 3000mm and with that size de speed (and the distance) is about half that should be. In the Edge 1000 with 1550mm more or less the speed and distance are correct, but in the 1030 far from that it?s about 25% the real value.
Can the 3000 limit value be override somehow?
Thanks...

Actually, the speed and distance on your 1000 aren't correct, they're infinitely more than you actually went. Spin bikes don't go anywhere, so speed and distance are meaningless on them. Choose a metric that actually means something on a stationary bike, (heart rate, cadence, estimated calorie burn, or if your spin bike supports it, the gold standard, instantaneous power/ total energy output). Speed and distance aren't that useful even outdoors, but at least they mean something real outdoors. Indoors they're just illusions.

Sorry, but they are correct. My indoor bike has a speed sensor installed on the wheel like on any outdoor bike. With that speed and distance i ajusted the sensor in the 1000 to use it on the crank because I teach spinning classes and for me it?s important all the measures speed, cadence, heart rate etc... But in the 1030 there?s no way of configure it because the maxiumum whell size accepted only gives 50% of real speed compared to my indoor bike...
Illusions or not the manual configuration should be able to set the speed sensor properly. My crank is 200mm so the circunference value in mm should be = 2pi200=1256.
With that value while the speed is 30 kms in the indoor bike in the edge is about 7 or 8... there?s something wrong about it. In the EDGE 1000 was PERFECT...

If you are mounting the magnetless speed sensor on your crank, you will never get an accurate reading. The speed sensor is designed to be mounted on a wheel hub.

1256mm sounds about right for a spin bike wheel size. The readout of 7-8kph is definitely odd.

Check a couple things:

1. Are you using a default profile type from the 1030? If so, which one?
2. Does the profile being used for the trainer have GPS completely disabled (it should be)? 7-8kph can be the amount of GPS drift if the 1030 is indoors.

Hi,
I?m using indoor.
Yes the GPS is completely disabled
It?s very strange, because in the 1000 I?ve used that configuration for almost a year without any problems whatsoever. Must be an error in the 1030 calculating de wheel size * number of wheel turns.
