I have recently gotten myself a polar power output sensor kit to go with my S720i (I'm too poor for a powertap!).
Have been using it indoors on my trainer only since I bought it, and, other than once when the sensor got moved and I was putting out about 3kW(I wish!!!!!!!) the readings have seemed surprisingly low
Values as calculated on TrainingPeaks.com acordding to my rides:
CP.2: 417W
CP1: 230W
CP6: 191W
CP12: 163W
CP30: 146W
CP60: 122W
(Nothing Higher than this has been estimated)
Now, from looking at other peoples values, these look somewhat low...I have set the Power sensor as close as possible to the chain at 39x12, remembering that my non-trainer wheel has an 11-23 Cassette, so I have to be a wee bit generous with space.
I'm 27, I don't race, but I think I'm in pretty good shape, 6'1", 77kg, lean but not terribly skinny
Are these values a bit low?
