Testing checklist

Here is a handy checklist to help make sure you are ready to test!

Before Opening CIQ App

• Speed sensor paired to Garmin?
• Power meter paired to Garmin?
• Power meter calibrated?
• Power meter auto-cal off (if possible)?

Open CIQ App

• Set correct testing type.
• Connected to Aerosensor?
• Aerosensor paired with speed/power sensors?

Aerosensor Settings

Essentials (Check Before Every Session)

These settings have a major impact on accuracy and must be verified before each test:

• Aerosensor calibration set? (Check after 3× out-and-backs; update if >5% off).
• Total mass correct? (Weigh before each session; includes rider, bike, and gear).
• Wheel circumference measured/set? (Ensure correct value for current tire pressure).
• Reference Crr correct? (Adjust for road/velodrome).
• Valid speed min set? (Just below target test speed for out-back/track testing).

Less critical (Minimal Impact on Data, Adjust as Needed)

• Valid brake deceleration set? (1 m/s² default; 10 m/s² for Aerodrome testing).
• Braking time offset set? (Default: 5s).
• Time averaging period set? (Default: 30s; only affects rolling CdA, not lap values).

Aerobody Settings (if applicable)

• Aerobody connected?
• Aerobody datum set?
