Inconsistent data

I have been having severe problems with my data (speed and power) from trainer rides recently. I would just blame my Elite Tuo, but am not sure it can explain all the abnormalities in the data.

Basically, I get inconsistent powers for close to identical speed and resistance (eg after a lap change there is sometimes a sudden change by more than a factor of 2).  Some of the powers are impossible, however much I flatter myself (eg 550W for an hour) and while most of the speed data looks spot on, something is very weird about it.

Eg today, I spent most of the session seeing speeds just below and above 40 km/h (which I believe was dead right) but the session has an average speed of 90.3 km/h. Inconsistently, the max is reported as being lower than this.

Doubtless there is someone here who would be able to glean some useful information from the fit file, so here it is:

  • I recently bought a set of Rally 200 pedals for my track bike and started using them in the velodrom in combonation with a Garmin Edge 130 plus… after a few rides I upgraded to a Garmin Edge 540 to gain more data insights about power. The device switch resulted in approx. 20-25% less power… and i strongly assume it‘s not meSweat smile
    my conclusion; the edge 130 measures power inaccurately and i have to get used to a lower FTP…

  • I would check that the crank length is set the same on both devices.

    With the power meter talking to Edge go to the sensor details for the power meter

  • Thank you for the tip. However crank length is set in the setting of the pedals…not in the sensor settings of edge. So the signal the pedals send is the same for both edges but i guess the signal processing that takes place on the edge computers is different
