Power meters do function with indoor trainers, but accuracy can be affected by various factors. A direct drive trainer may provide more consistent readings than wheel-on models. However, even the most precise power meter's data can vary based on factors such as tire pressure and slippage.
As a fervent cycling enthusiast with a deep understanding of the sport's dynamics, I urge you to prioritize the quality of your riding experience over the pursuit of perfect data. Focus on refining your technique and endurance through both indoor and outdoor training. The true essence of cycling lies in the journey, not merely the numbers.

While power meters and trainers can be a dynamic duo, remember they're tools, not superheroes. Sure, they can boost your stats, but don't let them overshadow the joy of simply riding.
