Hi people.  
I bought a gravel bike recently, and I have a spare stages power meter laying on the shelf, that I want to put on that bike.

The reason the stages is on the shelf, is I’m apparently quite right leg dominant, so the stages reads 6-10% too low.

How will this affect adaptive training if I begin feeding it “wrong data”?

Lots of threads on this already, for example:

> How would you use Adaptive training when your bike power meter reads 10% higher than your trainer with a mix of 50/50 inside & outside workouts/rides. Powermatch is not an option.
