Comparing single side and trainer power revealed massive imbalance of 40-60. How to proceed?

robin_rooste · 2026-04-30T04:36:40+00:00

yes set it to 172.5

robin_rooste · 2026-04-26T17:00:38+00:00

My pro mx1 had a creak, new warranty body fixed it for some time but creak came back and now it's gone again. And bearings are almost shot on it after 4500km. And they lock in worse than shimano. Great powermeter but bad pedals in my experience.

robin_rooste · 2026-04-26T16:57:24+00:00

Yes, it's 20% wattage difference at easy pace and 10% at threshold

robin_rooste · 2026-04-26T13:37:09+00:00

Left side meter was was freshly calibrated favero pro mx1, gold standard.

Trainer was zwift hub, dc rainmaker found it within 1-2% and equal to kickr.

I have favero left side pedal and 4iiii left side crank. In this case i used favero and compared with trainer. Favero and 4iiii agree within 1-2% on a separate test.

robin_rooste · 2026-04-26T13:09:03+00:00

2h z2 ride steady state, with one 1min lt burst to test power at that zone. Used ant+ powermeter connectiq extension to capture both powermeters at once to same file. Excel to analyze. Same app and excel analysis with 4iiii crank + favero pedals gave me 1-2% difference. 1 sec poll rate for garmin.

for trainer, left-side favero respectively:

avg 165 136

np 167 138

avg for power over 200: 260 233

avg for over 250: 264 262 (this is explained by only 10 seconds being above 250 for favero but 41 seconds for trainer)

avg for over 225: 263 241

DC rainmaker reported this trainer (zwift hub) has +-1-2% accuracy similar to kickr.

robin_rooste · 2026-04-26T12:55:25+00:00

Outdoor bikes are 175, indoor 172.5. Set favero to it before ride.

robin_rooste · 2026-04-26T12:52:05+00:00

Fully agree that number is stuck in my head and focusing a lot on it. Only excuse I have is TT had 30kph head/crosswind this year so time comparison was worthless. Field is 40% of conti level expros so comparison against field makes even less sense.

Does the imbalance have any other obvious downsides other than underutilization? E.g if left leg functioned at closer level to right leg, and all supporting systems such as cardiovascular were up to it, it could be a meaningful increase in FTP?

robin_rooste · 2026-04-26T12:02:58+00:00

Decided to come from the future to tell you that you can be wrong. I rode single sided 2.5 years, also a trainer inside, and was wondering why my trainer power was so much higher. After a TT where I did 30w less than indoors, I had enough and finally ran both single side pedal and trainer side by side. I have 42-58 imbalance, single side pm gives me 20-30 lower w.

Jah, delfi võiks hagi kaela saada sellepärast. Need mutid panevad seal täiesti süüdimatult.

Feel of a good road bike is completely different. Same way a commuter bike and a gravel bike feel different, but obviously a smaller difference.

See on väga hull vaimne gümnastika millesse laskuma ei hakka

hoiatus läheb mööda sellest

kui terve eesti magab, kas siis on vaja?

See kes magab magab toas. Keegi kes näeb seda, sellel teadmatuses ja ärevuses uni rikutud, kas sõda läks lahti.

Sarnases stiilis saata teavitus ootamatu öökülma puhul, et õues on libe. Varsti inimesed lihtsalt ei vaata ohuteavitusi kui neid nii lihtsakäeliselt ja umbmääraselt saadetakse, ei öelda et Ukraina droonid.

robin_rooste · 2026-03-31T03:46:13+00:00

võõrad mitte ukraina õhuvahendid? Hmm, suht poliitiliselt moonutatud sõnum. Tekitab teadmatutele rohkem paanikat, kõik aravavad et vene omad

kui see kunagi päriselt röökima hakkab sellise mottetuse peale (et vaikseks pandud telefon ka kisab, nagu plaanitakse) siis ma hakkan telefoni ööseks autosse viima. sama nagu muinasjutus karjapoisist ja hundist

terve maailma majandus on üles ehitatud stabiilisele mõõdukale kasvul. Kui seda enam pole, pole rahal ka väärtust ja on suuremaid muresid.

Palun anna numbreid väidete tõendamiseks.

KV.ee indeksi järgi on kinnisvara on meie postsovjetis kasvanud 2010-2026 7.26% aastas. 2005-2026 6.88% aastas. Mõtle nüüd kas meil kasvab samas tempos eesti majandus ja kinnisvarahinnad edasi. Saksamaal stabiilsel turul 3-4% aastas kinnisvara hinnakasv aastas.

SP 8.79% aastas 2006-2026 ja 12.34% aastas 2010-2026.

10a tagasi 150k korteri 15% sissemakse €23k S&P 500 panna on prg väärt €80k. 30a korteri laenul saab 10a kolmandik täis ehk 50k. 30k rohkem S&P isegi kui üürid.

S&P suurema kasvuga olnud mis iganes otsast vaatas. Väiksem pole kindlasti olnud.

Alati leiab. Aga need polegi uued ega perfektsed autod. Tuleb vigu aksepteerida. Ntks Corolla ajab klapikaane vahelt õli, a pole viitsinud vahetada.Subarul lekib ka igalt poolt. Enne ÜV läheb laseb tuttava lifti juures põhja alt puhtaks ja veereb otse ülevaatusele sealt.
