just curious if his “standard” is the artificially smooth Kickr power meter?
While it helps I’m on a Kickr direct-drive (TR tuned already), some power variation is not only expected it is still less than well paced outside riding. I did a comparison recently: Erg Mode Noobie - Share your experience, tips, and tricks please! - #44 by bbarrera and power variance of inside vs outside:
- outside 25W std deviation at threshold (~245W)
- inside with PowerMatch 12W std deviation at threshold (~225W)
pics in that thread. Inside with PowerMatch still a lot smoother than outside.
