Recalibration

Racing Yoda

I have a quick question to those that use quarq.  How often and when do you recalibrate it?  What type of recalibration do you do (back pedal vs computer head)? I know with the temp change at Tahoe the power numbers can significantly change.  My plan was back pedal 5 times every so often.  I use the Garmin 500 so recalibrating at the computer head seems less realistic during the race.  Any thoughts on it?

Before the race make sure you are dialed in. When it comes time to bike you should not have to fool with any gadget you main goal is focus on riding steady.

steve, I think the back pedaling is more for a zero baseline, rather than a a recalibration. there is a difference tho I'm not sharp enough to present that accurately. but, you can backpedal as often as you want.

Quarq?

Yes backpeddle zero at about 30 minutes then every hour.
