OK, I estimate my FTP to be about 370-380 watts... but this is on my road bike. I cannot seem to create this power on my TT bike, even for a shorter duration.
Last time I did a 10mile TT, I avged 340 watts, for a 21min effort and it hurt. This would be nothing on my road bike... for example today I was off the front on a 55 mile road race from the beginning and I avgd 333 watts for 2hr 10m (360NP)... if I can do this on my road bike, for over two hours without going all out... why would I have trouble doing this on TT bike for 20min? I have no problem putting out a 20MP of 400 watts on my road bike FWIW.
Is it a question of acclimatization to the TT position, and I have a lot of low hanging fruit to harvest by just riding the TT bike more, or is this an indication my position on the TT bike is whack? Something else at play here?
Thanks for you help!
Oh , I use SRM Pro D/A crank... the same one on both bikes.
