My Halcyon never seems to "Get Going" into Sim/Erg modes
Possible Symptoms (some or all of these may apply)
- The Halcyon doesn't respond to changes in Erg Mode (target wattages) or Sim Mode (uphills/downhills), even though your wheel is spinning.
- You're spinning the wheel by hand.
- You're doing the STAC Control Panel tutorial for the first time and can't feel any of the example uphills/downhills or erg mode settings.
- You're on the bike riding, but in a relatively slow gear.
- Halcyon is just "acting weird" (you may also want to check that your speed sensor is configured properly).
Solution:
In order for the Halcyon to fully switch into erg or sim modes, you need to get your wheel spinning faster than 21.6km/h or 13.4mph. Usually it isn't possible to do this by hand, so we recommend getting on the bike and doing a couple strong pedals in a fast (big front ring, small rear ring) gear.
Once you've gone fast enough to switch the Halcyon into riding mode, it will remain in that mode and should respond to Sim and Erg commands unless your speed drops lower than 5km/h (3mph).
Note that STAC recommends always using your fast gears when using Erg mode, and using an appropriate comfortable gear when riding in Sim mode.
