I wanted to start a discussion with those using PowerMatch with a modern smart trainer. Specifically, what has your experience been? My equipment, I have a Kickr v1 (I’d upgrade, but using my own PM negates any upgrade benefit), and a Verve InfoCrank (true dual-sided PM). The first thing that one…

When do you think it will be released into production?

The feature is already in production, but only available to those who wish to test it out, since it requires refinement before making it default to all athletes.

You could say that we aren’t making assumptions that anything is remaining constant in this version since we’ve learned that there are sometimes inexplicable changes in offset, not to mention differences in timing between devices.

Thanks. I would be interested in a feature that shows you the offset that was applied through a workout as I have never been able to work out what the difference is between my power meter and my trainer.

I would love that too. But also know that there is a competitive advantage to not giving details allowing competitors to use the functionality they worked hard to implement. Though part of me thinks that no matter how good TR’s algorithm is they have no insight into what the trainer is trying to d…

i couldn’t test it very soon, cause i will be 2 weeks on holiday, but i think the most important thing is chainring and cogwheel, that means small chainring and middle cogwheel, or? In my case i have to use 34/18 and i use this chainrings/cassette: 11-12-13-14-16- 18 -20-22-25-28-32T On…

It sounds like this new PowerMatch algorithm will better handle the case of a smart trainers power reading “drifting” during a workout?

It will be available on desktop-only during this testing period. It will be made available on other devices when it is ready for all users.

okay, but what do you think about the chainring/cog thing and other setup i wrote, what do you prefer? it make sense to try Vector 3 connected via BLT to Android App then?
