Hi @Waters ,
A few observations with my Inside Ride rollers:
- the power consistency is pretty good when the bike wheel speed/roller speed is reasonable high. The variation is maybe +/- 2 or 3 W. When I go to low cadence, or stand, or just use a very low gear for higher power targets, I do see power fluctuations of +/- 10-15 W around the target.
- the responsiveness is much better with Bluetooth than with ANT+. This is not isolated to the Inside Ride rollers - I believe that it is in the way ANT+ handles sending the power setpoints. There have been plenty of comments about the power changes lagging by a few seconds when using smart trainers connected via ANT+.
A question - are you using the Inside Ride predicted power directly, or are you connecting the Inside Ride smart resistance unit to your power pedals? I don’t have a power meter of any sort, so I just use the Inside Ride predicted power. I don’t care about absolute accuracy (I’m not comparing to anyone else) but I do care about repeatability, and they seem to work well for me in this area.
Any chance you could share a screenshot of the power profile from one of your workouts to show the problems you’re seeing? I could at least then compare with some of mine to see if there’s anything else I can suggest.
