Powertap hub offset is -1
Hey,
I have a powertap g3 hub, it has recently been giving low readings at times, it may start out reading my power correctly, but then start drifting down. I calibrated it on the Garmin 520 and it always reads -1 ,
I still have a joule gps and used that today and it showed the offset at -1, Is this the new readings? I thought it was supposed to be around 512?
I'm hoping it's just the end cap causing a problem and not the hub itself, it's about 3 years old.
Anyone had similar issues or readings? thanks.

Yeah, I'll do that on Monday. I'm in Ireland though, their service reps here are terrible-paligap-actually less than useless. Even when I bought the hub a few years ago, I bought from the American site because the customer service is so much better.
It will be Monday evening over here before I get a hold of them-I was hoping someone here had a similar issue-thanks though....

Powertap changed the base for the offset values.

Thanks a lot lads, it's weird, I went out this morning, and it was working fine again. I had removed the battery and left it overnight, and then replaces it. It read on the Garmin that it was 'pairing' again or something flashed quickly. Of course we had a fluctuation of 15 degrees in temperature here last week, so that may have had a part to play as well as me 'calibrating' every five minutes lol.
