    Ps.. Just read your initial posts... I don't know which turbo with power you are using... But mental note that many, eg. tacx flow) are inconsistent between sessions & are well out compared to a calibrated PM)
    I did a test on a friends Flow using my Powertap sl+. At 300W on my PT, the Flow was indicating almost 400W.
    Yup, that's what bothers me. It is indeed a Tacx computer flow, and although I had hoped that it was consistent between sessions (I do what I can to assist this, by keeping the tyre pumped at a similar pressure, and by calibrating it every session), I am not convinced I'm actually putting out the power ratings it says. Which is why I wanted to test myself properly, out there on the real road!

    Proper hardcore racers there. Think I'd rather be riding it and at least generating some body heat than standing on the side watching!
    Pain hurts much less if its topped off with beating your mates to top of a climb.
