matt1 said:My understanding of the test was it was done by a person either involved or formally involved with the Australian Institute of Sport cycling program. The first article in the rpevious issue went through the set up process for all the power meters. They did go to great lengths to set up all the un its correctly. So the figures must have some validity.
Show me the data!
Seriously, is there any chance someone can scan and post the complete versions of the 2 articles? The one linked to from the ibike site only shows the ibike section (obviously) on the individual PMs.
The problem I have with them going to "great lengths" to set up the Polar is that they probaby followed the Polar instructions...which IMHO is not much help at all in ensuring an accurate setup. They should've asked ME how to set it up
The main reason I'm speculating a setup issue is that I personally ran a Polar PM setup (S710) vs. a Powertap Pro for over a month on the same bike. The only difference I saw between the readings of the 2 devices was the expected difference due to drivetrain losses (i.e. ~5-10W).
