I'll see what Wahoo has to say, but I see a return in my future.
Which means your workout is getting easier as you go. Over a 60-minute workout, the difference started out as 30W and ended up over 40W and the same level later on. Your B solution would work (even if it's annoying to have to do it), except for the fact that - on mine, at least - the delta gets worse as the workout goes on. Even with that not checked, the Wahoo still controls the resistance if it's in Erg mode - at least that was my experience.
TRAINERROAD WAHOO KICKR WINDOWS 10
(These tests were carried out on an HP Envy 13 running Windows 10 20H2. My Polar OH1 heart rate monitor does not support multi-channel, so in my testing, I could only get it connected to either TrainerRoad or Zwift. All the setting on Trainerroad does is let you control which device's power reading you get in the app. The Wahoo KICKR 18 onwards and KICKR Core support this with the latest firmware.
You can now maximize every training session knowing the KICKR will always be tracking your power to +/- 1 accuracy. Email or phone: Password: Forgot account Sign Up. TRAIN WITH PRECISION With automatic calibration, the KICKR has exceptionally accurate power and eliminates the need to perform routine spindowns. The KICKR from Wahoo Fitness and TrainerRoad is one of the most powerful duos in cycling training. I got the calibration kit from Wahoo, and while it changed the offset number that I get from the spindown, it didn't fix the discrepancy. The KICKR from Wahoo Fitness and TrainerRoad is one of the most powerful duos in cycling training. The Wahoo KICKR smart trainer is a more powerful, accurate, and responsive indoor bike trainer tuned for the world’s most demanding cyclists, delivering the ultimate indoor training experience.Get immediate feedback, reduce fatigue, and go longer. I wish mine were that close - it's more like 25% too high compared to the Quarq. However using TrainerRoad has my watts way higher even after doing the "Spindown".Ī) Calibrate in the Wahoo app even if I'm using TrainerRoad?ī) Just know there is a 15% difference and adjust accordingly? The last time I rode just using the Wahoo app I noticed that, after calibrating, the Quarq and the Kickr were within 2-5 watts of each other. Now, and I'm seeing this is a common issue, is there a trick to getting the watts more accurate? My Quarq is reporting approx 15% lower than the Kickr, and I know my Quarq is accurate. At least that makes me feel better about the poor FTP test.įrom what I have found online about the Kickr everyone seems to say the power meter is dead on accurate.Gprunner wrote:yep, worked perfectly. FLEXIBLE AND EASY SETUP KICKR CORE is compatible with 8, 9, 10, and 11 speed cassettes and gives you the flexibility of adding your preferred cassette to the trainer, so that you can fully mimic your outdoor groupset. So I have to adjust my FTP 10% lower to make the workouts doable.
I have pulled interval data from garmin and trainingpeaks and concluded that the stages power meter consistently records about 10% higher than the wahoo Kickr. For example in ERG mode on a 230 watt interval, the Kickr will show 230 watts the whole time, while my stages power meter shows 250-270 on 3 second power smoothing, occasionally dropping down to the actual target but only sporadically. So I set my garmin to record power data from my stages power meter, and noticed that it is consistently higher than the wahoo Kickr is recording. I then found the first workout of the plan (pierce) to be absolutely out of my league at that FTP setting. poor performance, so I went ahead and set my FTP at 250 - I finished last season around 270. On the Kickr I did my worst FTP test to date, on the 8x2 format, it gave me an ftp of 226. I performed the spindown for the Kickr and started with an FTP test. Just wondering if anyone else has had similar experiences with the Kickr, I just got one about a week ago.
