I would like to use ibike to my mtb mainly for training on the paved road.
I will be training on smooth asphalt surface with suspension lockout.
Of course, wheel circumference should be changed to that of mtb wheel.
And I guess estimated Crr also be increased to consider higher friction than that of road bike.
WHAT Is the guideline of Crr for mtb?
And any other factors that I have to consider?

You'll probably be OK riding on the pavement, but the Issac software doesn't allow you to enter high enough Crr values and low enough tire inflation pressures to get meaningful data.

Sorry, the last sentence should end with, "on unpaved surfaces."
