Here's the situation.
I just purchase a new PT SL Harwired unit. Version 4.xx.
I have a year and a half old PT SL Hardwired software version 2.xx unit that was serviced approximately 6 months ago from Saris.
The new unit is reading approximately 45-50 watts difference using my rollers testing at speeds of 20 mph. My old unit reads approximately 270 watts at 20mph and the new one shows approximately 225 watts.
I noticed after I had trouble completing my 2 x 20's the last few times. PE of these efforts caused me to check.
I have zeroed both units before testing. The torque reading on the old one is 520 and the new one 518. I have equal tire pressure in both and tires are only about 5mm difference in size.
The only noticeable difference in the two units is when I go under the diagnostics the new one under section #5 it shows cadence sometimes when there is no cadence. The old unit shows no cadence immediately after cadence has stopped. The new one fluctuates wildly before stopping and then sometimes showing cadence again.
I've never had any reason to question my power numbers from the old unit in the past.
Any ideas?
I plan on calling Saris tomorrow.
