Power seems to be to high - Calibration

Post by oskar »

I'm doing most rides on a smart trainer in Erg mode (5-10% accuracy) and to me the PP seems to be giving me too high readings compared to the trainer. Today I got a IF of a whopping 1,02 but the ride was in reality not particularly hard. I think my FTP tests at Trainer Road is at around IF 0.89. This leisure ride was not even close to a FTP test! I have done an Out and Back-ride in the past to calibrate the PP but since I do most rides indoors I don't have much data from the PP unfortunately. I did do some drafting in this ride and since there is quite windy where I live I change position on the bike quite a lot too.

I do not see anything obviously wrong on your ride.

You do not have a cadence sensor, so your TSS, IF scores are inaccurate. You need cadence data to compute them accurately.

I have a magnetless cadence sensor but I got annoyed that it took some revolutions to get the power showing up. Maybe I should pair them again before my next ride. How do I pair them without reseting the device?

Just do a new pairing. Other settings won't be affected
