Don’t know if you got the answers you were looking for. I tried PowerPod back in 2016. The first unit had a busted micro-USB port after only a few days of use. I tested the replacement unit for a few more weeks before returning my purchase to clevertraining. If you’re looking for a power meter that provides accurate and consistent data regardless of your ride position, tire size, tire width, tire type, and the combined weight of you/your bike/your gear, the PowerPod is not a device that you should spend your money on, even if it is significantly cheaper than other direct force power meters. I left a number of comments on DCR’s review of PowerPod if you’re interested in my experience.
