When using an indoor trainer with an SRM on-bike unit, is a trainer watt
equivolant to a road watt?
Being one of those using a Polar I would have to say Yes to your
|
question. At least from my perspective. I have three different FTPs One for
the road, one for the trainer and one for the rollers. Do I love my rollers?
About 50W higher than on the road and 100W higher than the trainer.
Maybe my reply was maybe a little unclear. What I meant was that an SRM
|
doesn't care if it's on a trainer or outdoors, whereas my Polar does. Hence
a Watt for you is a Watt.
On the other hand. a trainer is different as far as the ratio of Pavg an NP
goes. They tend to be a lot closer indoors and this may account for small
differences of adaption. Others can indulge in that a lot better than me.
