  1. Can someone who uses CP with the metric units default tell me how torque is displayed in the summary stats and on the workout graph. I assume it's N-m since the English version is lb-in. Is that right?

    Correct, Nm - and if you're using anything other than a PowerTap, it's the torque applied to the crank, regardless of where (or even if - think Polar) it was measured. OTOH, if you're using a PowerTap, my *recollection* is that CyclingPeaks still displays the "raw" (i.e, uncorrected for the effects of gearing) torque.

    Cool. Thanks, Andy. FYI, I am putting the finishing touches on a simple console application to create a wko file for non-PM rides. It will allow for either English or Metric data entry, but I couldn't get my workout files to display in metric (probably because they have to be downloaded that way first). I'll post the app within a day for anybody who wants to capture non-PM rides and upload them into CP.
