PT vs COmputrainer
I picked up a computrainer pro from a friend a while back and I really like it and training with power. So, i recently bought a powertap. I have used the pt on the ct to compare the data and the PT is consistenly 75 watts or so higher... anyone have a similar experience, hear about this or have any suggestions.
Happy New Year~!~ |

Re: PT vs COmputrainer
Have you zeroed the torque on the PT and done whatever one does to calibrate Computrainers?
That's a pretty considerable difference... |

It was purchased new 2 years ago and used very little when I bought a few months back. Is there a problem with older models? I did zero the PT and rode 3 hours this am and I have noticed that it was reading different than the ride I did yesterday outdoors. It is lower. This afternoon I am going to test it against the CT. Thanks |

Older CT's don't have a great reputation for accuracy but 75W .. say on 200-300 would be phenomenably bad ... rmur |

Re: PT vs COmputrainer
My PT and CT are almost spot on.
Zero torque on PT, and calibrate CT after 10 min warm up, with resistance setting 2.00 - 2.50. |
