Power source - Trainer or Crank Power Meter

It is better to estimate your FTP on the trainer if you are going to train there. The trainer measure the force at the cassette area where other power meters usually on the pedal or crank are affected by the friction of the chain and Bottom bracket bearings, so the wattage at the cassette will always be lower than the wattage at your feet/pedal… On mine I calculated between 8-12 watts difference depending of the number.
