![]() If you were to experience tyre slip, you could set the knob to a different value that doesn't experience tyre slip, but make sure you always strive for that value as consistency is what you need. If when doing the roll down calibration, I don't adjust it to get a reading of "0", the ergo mode will read differently. I haven't been experiencing tyre slip and the tyre is wearing so slowly that the wear is almost imperceptible. ![]() I use a bright orange indoor specific tyre for all my indoor workouts. If I set the tyre pressure to 100 PSI, I do the roll down calibration after 10 minutes of riding, I adjust the knob to get a reading of "0", and I always ride my efforts in the 53 x 12, then the ergo mode is very consistent for not just the training session, but from month to month. I have a TACX flow as well as a SRM and here are my observations. In otherwords is 300W really 300W what ever the calibration setting?īullboy /img/vbsmilies/smilies/hissyfit.gif Now if the setting comes out as + 5 for eg do i need to slacken off the runner until it gets close to zero as possible?Īlso if I get a different reading for calibration each time but ride say 300W (I wish) does it mean the 300W pertains to the calibration setting or does it mean i may be putting in more or less effort to turn the pedals at a set power. I always do 15-20 mins warmup and then calibrate. Now even though the tyre pressure is always the same and how tight the runner is against the wheel is always the same I get different readings when calibrating. ![]() ![]() ![]() Negative numbers mean the runner is less tight against the wheel and and positive number means the runner is on the tight side against the tyre. When the device is calibrated i think it measures how long the wheel takes to slow down and gives you a reading from a negative number through to positive numbers. I have purchased a tacx flow so i can use power to train with in the long winter months in the north of the uk. ![]()
