Sometimes your Bike Computer or your Power Meter simply don’t work as expected. Occasionally, this could mean that your power data, GPS data, or something else isn’t working as expected. In this FAQ page, we will take a look at some common issues with your data files, as well [...]
This is often caused by another (non-Xert) ConnectIQ data field trying to access background services, which causes the display on our App to freeze. Note that the data recording is unaffected - only the screen is frozen. To resolve this, you can try a couple of options: Create a new [...]
Unfortunately not. The Garmin ConnectIQ system does not allow you to run a ConnectIQ app, like the Xert Workout Player, while simultaneously recording an activity. If you need navigation during an outdoor ride, we recommend using the Xert ConnectIQ data fields to monitor your Xert data while taking full advantage [...]
How To: Get Xert Reports & Summary Info in Strava Strava breakthrough and workout reports allow activities that are uploaded to Xert and synced to Strava to have images like the ones above to be automatically attached to your Strava activity. These visual reports have the [...]
While longer efforts are often never easy or moderate even, Xert bases the Difficulty Rating on the highest Difficulty Score achieved in the activity. Difficulty Score increases with sustained high intensity efforts, particularly when under high fatigue (lowered MPA). These are not likely to occur in longer efforts, or if [...]
Your Training Load is calculated using a exponentially weighted moving average. For those unfamiliar with what this means, your Training Load is similar to your average daily XSS .. but not exactly .. let's see if we can help the understanding of what this means. Let's say, for example, you [...]
Sometimes you may notice a discrepancy between a calculation made on a mobile app (Garmin, Xert for iOS, Xert for Android) and the Xert Online web app. This is often attributable to a difference in the fitness signature used in the calculation, where the server will update the signature after [...]
Your Training Status and Form colour and number of stars provide a simple visual of two very important aspects of you as an athlete: How trained are you? This is the number of stars. How much training and what type of training have you be doing recently? This the [...]
Unlike the Garmin devices that support ConnectIQ, where we can develop datafields and apps with our team, manufacturers of the other bike computers like Wahoo, Hammerhead, Lezyne, Pioneer or SRM, for example, will need to do their own development work to integrate the Xert metrics onto their platform. This applies [...]
In general, you should not add activities other than cycling to your cycling profile. This is because the XSS you input from other activities will get applied to predictions and, for most activities, the benefit they provide to your cycling fitness isn't easily measured. If you'd like to keep a [...]
