fyi, Garmin recently released a firmware update for the Edge 500 that includes additional features related to power. I can't remember all of them, but you can display normalized power, IF, TSS. I...

Does anyone know when Garmin is planning to add Normalized Power, TSS, and IF to the Edge 500?

I see they had a firmware update in October adding these fields for the Edge 800, but nothing for...

Just leave the gap. It should be counting that time as zero watts (which is correct, just like coasting). I try to hit the lap button before and after any pauses so it's easier to highlight and...

Yes for virtual cadence (uses surges in the pedal stroke), no for speed. The powertap hub knows exactly what the given RPM of the wheel is. Whatever mechanism the PT uses for RPM, I doubt it would...

Yes, I would remove the magnet. There is no reason to have a magnet on your powertap wheel since that speed will never be used (unless your PT hub dies and you are riding with GPS disabled).

You should not have to tell it what type of sensor, just ask it to scan for the Spd/Cad sensor and it will pick up the GSC-10. Not sure about your speed issue, but the first thing I'd do is make...

For an Garmin Edge 500 paired to a powertap and GSC-10, it will get wheel speed from the Powertap, not the sensor (when you disable the GPS). Powertap wheel RPM speed takes priority over the sensor....

I assume when you say 275 on the hill, you are saying a 275 average over a 20+ minute period. Otherwise, it's not relevent. If you are using the 20m test from the book, you should also do a 5...
