@Skyewalkr

i’d love to know how this is relevant?

• It’s relevant since I was curious how it could be used for something more than an interesting data set. Nothing more or less.

@Skyewalkr

if the data is wrong, would you not want to know why it’s wrong regardless of whether you personally deem it valuable?

• If I don’t plan to use the data, I don’t care if it’s right or wrong WRT that Stand/Sit info.
• As long as the other data (pure power in my personal use case) is correct I would ignore that just like I do for L/R data or other PCO metrics I don’t use.
• Perhaps this oddity could be an indicator of larger problems with more reach, but from all the other reviews and such it seems the core power data is trustworthy.

@Skyewalkr

the fact that i have to defend discussing this issue in the trainerroad forum, the platform i consider to be the most science based of all, is disappointing.

• Again, no need to defend IMO, we were interested in the use case to learn how and why the data could prove useful.

@Skyewalkr

in fact, the more out of the saddle i was, the “sloppier” i was as a rider it seemed.

• Thanks for the info. It directly answers my question for a use case I had not considered. Back to back comparison makes sense to me in a general concept and potentially valuable in adjusting training around more or less time in either position.

• Seems this is a worthwhile issue to report to Favero so they can review and potentially improve whatever they are using to derive these estimates. It’s unfortunate that there’s seems so off compared to your prior data from Garmin. But that at least sheds light that there is a path to better data if they choose to pursue it.
