Depends how dynamically sound a martec carbon composite (Bpstealth) is with mavic cosmos and aero bladed forks and spokes, in superman position on an indoor trainer ,

i know i don't get drag from the frame like that of a standard bike, but i do have less drag like that of the lotus sport windcheetah!

I don't have a powertap i use the indoor trainer, i train via gear size, cadence and speed the power is other information that i don't use when i'm out on the road, less weight riding without it i guess

there is no way you can compare watts and speed on a trainer vs outside with a real powermeter. all your figures are likely way off from what they would be outside. haha, some people will hit 60mph on their indoor trainer, and they won't break 35mph outside

Have you tryed riding on a I magic 1900T the breaking system is pretty good it ain't no fluid or air trainer, plus my last session on manchester velodrome was above 35mph anyway and andrea said "you've certainly taken to track riding"

But that Was last year and this year i'm faster! and i can break 35mph outdoors and yes i do ride in a full traffic lane since i hold 27 / 30mph with traffic. when i'm allowed to ride judging by your ABOUT it isn't a speed your used to achieving anyhow. So you can only assume 800watts... and the attachement is an outdoor recording from my speedo. but i have never hit anywhere neer that on the imagic
