"The 33"-Road Bike Racing - New (to me) PowerTap

So I won and just received a 2006 Powertap Pro (Yellow hub)from ebay. I am really excited to start using power to train. The main reason I went with the Pro over the Standard model is that I can use my race wheels with a magnet during races and still use the PT head unit/cable as a normal computer. I am trying to test this out but I am not getting any reading on the head unit when I have my non-PT wheel installed. Can anyone offer me any help? Thanks.

Sorry, I meant for this to be in the Road Cycling Forum. I guess I am going to cross-post it.

click through until cadence is showing on the lower screen. then hold the select button until "watts" disappears. now you are in non-PThub mode.

That worked. Thanks.

THat's a cool trick! I kept going into the setup window to put it in "cyclocomputer" mode, never knew about this. It's so much easier! Thanks!

Damn, no love.

:D

lol no problem

What is the fee for Saris to do a rebuild of a hub? Are there different levels of service they provide?

Anybody?

I'd call the customer service number from the web page. They're pretty helpful.

My question to you, is have you considered racing with the PT.There's a slight weight penalty. But racing will be your best data.

I go back and forth on this myself, and end up using lighter wheels mostly just on very hilly courses.
