Power meter calibration

Equipment

I know calibration has been discussed before, but I have not been able to find this specific topic.

I had to take the battery pod off my quarq yesterday in order to put a new ring on. I’ve done it before, it’s pretty easy, no issues.

The calibration numbers on this device (I’ve had the crankset for three and a half years now) has always been very consistent, always between 125 and 135 (yes, I know the numbers are meaningless, it’s the consistency that matters).

But today when I rode I got completely different numbers. I calibrated five or six times and again it was very consistent, just different.

Is it possible that removing and replacing the battery pod (I also put in a new battery) simply changed the baseline? Or is this a sign that something is wrong?

Thanks

The numbers always change once a new ring is fitted, so as long as the numbers stabilise from this point onwards then you’re good to go, even if they are different to before.

Put in a few hard sprints and give it about 5 rides.
