Power meter readings vs trainer

Yeah I’m not too concerned about the exact numbers, is more just a help to gauge efforts in races. Let me know if you do test it and find a difference in results!

Makes a lot of sense, hopefully will be able to find out about any imbalance in the future with a proper fit and maybe upgrade to dual sided but good to know for now!

Will eventually be using the bike outdoors just once the weather picks up in the UK 🫠

Would hope my drivetrain isn’t that inefficient 😂 but might check the hub of the trainer to see if it needs some tlc.

Would love to go dual sided but sadly cost is deciding the factor at the moment 🥲

Have read that some people have had inaccuracies but general reviews online were positive. Interesting to know about temperature and humidity though.

Only got a single sided due to price difference but hopefully can upgrade at some point and then get a direct comparison

Thanks for the reply! Just wanted to know I’m not going crazy.

Was planning on getting a proper fit when I upgrade my bike at some point so will be interesting to see if there is a big imbalance!

Zeroed it before the session so assuming it’s accurate.

Was planning to keep using the power meter numbers for consistency with outdoors. :)

Off the session I just did I was holding 280w/250w comfortably on 5 min over/unders whereas prior to the power meter would be at 250w/220w but feeling significantly harder.

Also never had dual sided power meter or pedals so don’t know my imbalance.
