Hi there
I did 18km of criterium race last night. It was very good test on legs before my target race. I see that legs are loaded. So no issues there.
I have Pioneer PM with CA600 headhunt installed on my bike. While I was doing after race analysis, I realized that 3 apps giving me, 3 different NP values 330Watts by Pioneer, 315Watts by TrainerRoad and 305 by TrainingPeaks.
Which one should I believe?
Same exact FTP in all apps?
I just realized that TR even calculated a high average cadence
That leads to another consideration. Are you including zeros in power capture?
Might not matter if all three apps load the same exact data, but I know that setting can also lead to differences.
I use head unit with defaults. Not sure if it is the case.
I will go through all settings on each app and see. But interestingly it is almost 15 watts difference between Pioneer and Tr and then another 15 between tr and TP.
I will load fit file to Garmin connect and see what it shows

Sadly, I am out of ideas. I am sure someone else will be able to figure it out.

I have a pioneer headunit and I find the NP value on cyclosphere is higher than on other platforms. Iād go with the lower consistent figures from other sources personally

Ok but if you see TR calculation, it is also higher than TP. Something weird
It seems Garmin calculates exactly as Pioneer.
I also check on BBS. BBS differs 5 watts from TP
