I’ve been using TR for around 2 years using a KICKR. I got a Stages PM during the Summer and have just started using the Stages and Powermatch so that inside / outside power would be consistent. After recovering from the drop in FTP :weary:(KICKR reads higher!) I’ve now done a few workouts using Pow…

Hi I use a powermeter and this is the same for me , IMO this is normal . I have found the more your pedal stroke technique improves the better this gets . Obviously at lower power this is easier to attain than at higher ( closer to FTP) power. Bear in mind that if you have a single sided powermeter…

thanks for your input , will keep working on my pedalstroke :wink: !!!

Thanks for the responses, guys. Reassured that i am not alone in seeing these results. I am sure that my pedalstroke could be smoother. I also do have a habit of shifting around a bit and occasionally get out of the saddle which can cause power fluctuations. Sometimes, though the power drifts off t…

I have noticed exactly the same with my powertap GS and kinetic smart trainer. I have set the powermatch to ’auto’, but the power still fluctuates quite a lot. Has anyone tested if setting the powermatch to ’fixed’ changes anything?

Ericsson spends a lot of time at 94% FTP which is just below the SweetSpot/Threshold breakpoint of 95% FTP. Without the power smoothing of the Kickr, it is normal to have a substantial time at 95% or higher when the target is 94%. I don’t think this is anything to worry about.
