Not yet!
Not gonna lie, this whole topic would not really be a thing if I only managed to control my Elite Suito with Wahoo Bolt on a planned workout session without Bolt forcing it to be all in ERG mode. Usually it offers different options to control the trainer, but case of loading up a planned training it goes ERG only which sucks.
Anyways, when using icTrainer I noticed that my form is bit better and I decided to test it running wahoo bolt with my left crank power meter and at the same regular training on icTrainer + Elite Suito. Below there are differences in power measured. I know it might be not the best place for that, but actually I’ve never seen a place filled with more passionate people about cycling & training than this one so I decided to share it
Few interesting points that I’ve noticed
- ERG on icTrainer feels like a harder effort than it really is to me, so if ERG Mode Was set to 190W then , inpeak showed 205W, which personally is close to how I felt I was riding
- Without ERG inpeak shows less power output (I thought this is L/R balance thing, need to borrow Direto as Suito does not measure L/R Balance; anyways I dont think that’s the case, as with ERG mode it’s Inpeak that’s showing bigger power output)
- I wrote before that when using icTrainer I feel like it offers less resistance on a bike - so to produce 190W I need to be in a differnt gear than I used to on zwift, so I’ve added artificial 3% grade and then both power outputs were close together.
- Again, biggest difference is in my Zone2 effort - inpeak 137W vs icTrainer 152W.
I’m planning to check Z2 differences inpeak VS Zwift vs icTrainer on the same day to exclude ‘how I feel on a given day’ volatility - probably tomorrow. As yesterday Zwift + Suito showed Z2 132W effort vs Inpeak 114W…
let me know what you think. but from what i see
