Gasmantle Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 I know this is going to sound a daft question but V5F owners what degree of footplate tilt does the app show when the plates are actually level (ie at 0 degrees) I met up with a couple of forum members yesterday and after a chat it became clear that my machine was angled too far backwards although I was convinced the app said it was set at 1.5o having now checked it at home I have set the plates to 0o yet the app says they are at 6o. I guess it doesn't really matter as I now have the plates level but I'd expect the app to give a zero reading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might be good idea to take a screen shot,and post it over here, to let the others judge, if you're looking at the pedal related setting @Gasmantle Edited May 18, 2019 by PogArt Artur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Planemo Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 I too found the app angle did not match the true angle on my V5F. I didn't worry about it too much. I just set the angle using a bubble app on my phone. I usually go for dead level or slightly tilted back. On my Z6 I like it at 2.5 deg but the V5 felt nice at around 1.5 deg. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 Yeah 6 degree was far too much angle on yours gasmantle , you was tired so far back going down hill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gasmantle Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 Thanks guys I've got the pedals level by measuring them and have disregarded what the app says - it seems to ride a lot better now - I can always make a few minor adjustments later if I need to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
