When I connect my Stages Ultegra LR power meter (both left and right) via bluetooth the max power reading tops out around 80w when using TrainerRoad. When I connect the power meter via ANT+ the power reading is accurate and power match works fine, although ANT+ is only detecting and connecting a sin…

No. Here is how I setup: After installation of Stages LR: use Stages app to link left and right power meters Setup in TR app: in iPhone TR app, pair via Bluetooth to the left power meter make sure PowerMatch is enabled Now during an indoor trainer workout, the Stages left side will send total…

I thought TR could only read one crank arm when pairing Stages LR with Bluetooth and that only with ANT could you get both arms reading?

Yes and no. Both TR and Garmin only communicate with the left crank arm. TR records total (L+R) power, all data is sent from the left crank arm Garmin records both left and right, all data is sent from the left crank arm There have been requests for TR to record both left and right data.

Right I understand that all data is sent from the left arm. However, I thought also that TR can only RECORD power from one crankarm when Bluetooth is used (depending on which arm you connect to) versus can record total (L+R) power only when connected via ANT?

No. TR can record total power using either Bluetooth or ANT+. I’m recording with: TrainerRoad via Bluetooth Edge 530 via ANT+ and they record essentially the same power. All data is sent by left crank arm of my Stages L+R Ultegra 8000.

[image] RPE different for ANT vs Bluetooth on kickr TrainerRoad Software Hey there! The reasoning behind this is that when you pair your dual-sided power meter with TrainerRoad via ANT+, it measures and communicates L+R power. When paired via Bluetooth, it takes the Left…

Just went outside for a two minute test… at 40 seconds I unclipped left shoe and pedaled with only right foot as seen here in Garmin Connect: [image] ^ that was recorded on Garmin Edge 530 Now lets see what TrainerRoad app on iPhone recorded… I pressed record on Garmin at same time as starting T…

This weekend I took a quick look at Bluetooth GATT specifications and as best I can tell the three relevant specs are the Cycling Power Profile, Cycling Power Service, and Fitness Machine Service (FTMS). Loosely interpreting (I’m not an expert), the Cycling Power Profile v1.1 appears to specify in …

[image] Power Meter versus Turbo Trainer Equipment At the moment, the only way to get L+R total power from your Powertap P1 pedals is to pair via ANT+. When paired via ANT+, we capture power readings from both the left and right pedals, but when paired via Bluetooth, we c…

Can I downvote that? :wink: This thread is about Stages LR. I’ve done right leg pedaling, recorded with TR (Bluetooth) and Garmin 530 (ANT+). Garmin shows 0W left and 116W right TR shows 116W If TR was doubling left side, it would show 0W. Instead it shows the power from right side. Which it rec…
