Ergomo User Thread
Since the Joule and the others seem to have a thread, there's not a whole lot of us Ergomo users around, I'm still learning a lot about power (Kitima told me more about my Ergomo at ToC) and due to some problems below - I am afraid I'm beginning to see the beginning of the end of my Ergomo, so I thought I'd start a thread...
The last several weeks, I'm getting conflicting info between my Ergomo and the data when uploaded to WKO+. Yes, I do the adjustment/'zeroing' at the beginning of the ride (and it tells me it's okay). Yes, the FTP is the same value in the head unit and WKO+. It's been installed on the same bike/frame for the last 2+ years I've had it.

Hey Scott, when mine started to go, the "offset" kept being weird. When I would calibrate, my offset number started being VERY different than originally.
@Rich, any advice/theory?
Since this thread, I've moved to a Quarq/Joule combo to replace my old Ergomo. But I saw a post today on DCRainmaker about Ergomo being "reborn"...here's the link to the dcrainmaker blogpost (main page): www.dcrainmaker.com/
And here's the ergomo site: www.ergomousa.com/default/includes/...-2011.html
