In the middle of a training plan and just bought /installed vector 3s pedals. Do I need to do another ramp test using to get a new ftp or is there no issue with continuing with current settings? Thanks Stuart

I should have mentioned that I use a Tacx Flux and just wondering if Trainerroad switched to using the power from the Vector pedals if there would be any impact due to the source of the measuring. Apologies for not being clear in my original post Stuart

I just started using Vector 3s this week. I am just finishing my 4th week of SSBMV II, so I am about 10 weeks into the plan. Up to this point, I have been using a Kickr Core paired with TR. After installing the Vectors, I re-assessed with a ramp test using the Vectors as a power source. My FTP d…

Save both power meter outputs in Dropbox, then you can pull them into DC Rainmaker’s analysis tool and do a direct comparison. You’ll know for sure how different the pedal…

I noticed the same thing with PowerMatch. What I did was go into the Kickr app to powermatch the Kickr through ANT+ with my power meter and it has been much smoother.

Does new Vector 3s require a ramp test?
