Velodrome testing protocol (Without Aerodrome)

Without Aerodrome, Aerosensor cannot automatically segment data into laps or identify corner geometry. However, you can still achieve good results by following this method.

Run protocol

You can only test effectively with a single rider on track at any one time.

Before starting, ensure:

• ACS app settings are correct, and power meter is calibrated.
• Aerosensor ConnectIQ app is running on your Garmin.

1. Start Activity
• With the bike stationary, press Start/Stop button on your Garmin.
• Border changes red → green means FIT file is recording.
2. Accelerate to Speed
• Take 1–2 laps to build up to target speed.
• Keep speed below "Valid speed min" during this phase.
3. Start Flying Lap
• Aim to accelerate above “Valid speed min” at the start of your first flying lap.
• Alternative: Use a Garmin remote lap trigger or the Garmin lap button to manually start the lap when crossing the start/finish line
4. Complete Test Laps
• Ride 1,500–2,000m at a steady speed (6–8 laps on a 250m track).
5. Decelerate After Final Lap
• Reduce power naturally after crossing the start/finish line at the end of your last flying lap.
• Alternative: Use the Garmin remote lap trigger to manually end the lap.
6. End the Session
• Bring the bike to a stop, then press Start/Stop button to end the FIT file recording.
