Re: Cycle-Ops Fluid2 and Trainer Mode

Okay, this is the inherent issue with load curves and calibration issues. The load curves supplied by the manufacturers center around one type of person, one type of overall weight, one type of resistance - but they're all unique to each and every manufacturer. Racermate's original curve is based o...

On a well calibrated computrainer I can average 230-240 watts fo...

Re: Can some of the stronger riders upload their power files?

I'd consider myself an average cyclist, near the front in a triathlon bike proably middle of pack in a pure cycling event, but I can give you an idea. What you want to compare is Watts per Kilogram and 1,5,10,20,60 min maximum sustainable power then calculate the watts per kilogram. There is a chart...
