  1. I have two PT SL hubs and one is in a Zipp 404 - I have recently had a brand new hub in this wheel due to water ingress but am continuing to see small data drops - 8-10 of around a second in a 2 hour ride.

    My other hub is perfect.

    Is it possible that the stiffness of the carbon rim is causing a vibration to be set up in tuen causing the drop outs ?

    It seems unlikely that the second hub is also faulty but I know my harness and CPU are fine so am looking for another explanation.

    Any ideas appreciated.

  2. Fresh batteries?

    This is a funny one, especially if you have two different wheels that can be swapped out on the same bike to troubleshoot.

    8-10 drops for one second each? That's nothing to worry about, and about what I get (maybe 2-3 per hour) with mine. Usually has to do w/ power lines or something. It's when those drops were more frequent and lengthy that I complained (just got a PTSL back from Saris, and had my PT Pro repaired last year). Thus why I bought an SRM!

  4. Another vote to replace the batteries - I got some weird readings/ behaviour well before the transmission icon began flashing to indicate low hub batteries. A dying CPU battery will also muck things up.

    Well my other hub is perfect - no drops, so I am not happy with the drops.

    Batteries - could be but it is a new hub.

    Thanks.
