Two questions specific to a Quarq Dzero:
-
How often should you perform one?
-
And does the Dzero zero automatically at the beginning of each ride?

Before every ride
No
Straight from the DZero manual “Perform the Zeroing Procedure before every
ride. The power meter can be zeroed two
ways: Auto Zero and Manual Zero.”
The way auto zero works from what I know about my DZero is it’s not really automatic. You still have to do something to it to zero the PM.
Ok thanks. Wow am I a moron. Probably doesn’t matter too much but, I can’t remember the last time I zeroed it so I did one today (after the ride of coarse). 198 so, cool. Checked the slope with Qalvin which was the same as factory at 7.90. Again cool.

Manual Zero
Performed through a cycling computer. This function, if available, is often referred to as a ‘Power Meter Calibration’ (or similar) within the cycling computers Owner’s Manual. Follow the below process if your cycling computer is capable of this function.
What Should The Zero Offset Be?
Auto Zero
Performed by rotating the crank backwards 5 complete revolutions. An Auto Zero can be performed with the rider on the bike while coasting.
Performing an Auto Zero will NOT display a Zero Offset number on the connected cycling computer.
Thanks. I’m familiar with all you posted which doesn’t really help when you don’t do it! It’s possible I pedaled backwards 5x sometime in November but, I doubt it. I have not done one via the head unit ever (over 1 year)…ugh!
