New trainer en route - best practices?

[mcneese.chad]

@James

My assumption is that I should enable Powermatch and still use the crank as the primary power input, so that indoor/outdoor training can be consistent and comparable - but any other views?

• Yeah, PowerMatch for clean and consistent data inside and outside.

@James

If I went to using only the Suito for indoor power, I know I would need to retest

• Even if you choose to use PowerMatch and your PM as the guide, I still recommend a new FTP test. The feel and ride of the new trainer will most likely differ enough from your current trainer that you could experience a different test result.

• Things like trainer mode (Resistance vs ERG), gearing (High / Medium / Low), flywheel inertia (likely not the same as your current trainer) can all play into giving you slightly (or even largely?) different results when compared to your current trainer setup.

@James

but do others also record both at once to examine what the variances are? If so, how?
