Ramp Test on a new bike

Training

I am going to do a ramp test on my TT bike this week. I know i put out less pwr than my road bike, about 8%. Should I change the FTP in my account before hand to have it closer to my actual ability?

thanks

It’s up to you! It’ll affect what power your 1st step is at and how big each step in the ramp is…I think each step is 6% so that should give you some idea.

Just keep in mind (as I once discovered when I changed my FTP to 1000 as a joke) all FTP changes will be reflected on your career chart & so far as I know there is no way to remove them. So it’ll junk up your career chart a little.

You can delete FTP changes from your FTP history page
