PowerPod Calibration First Time

Hi,
Im a new user for Powerpod.

I have few questions:

1. I did Out-and-Back Calibration for two profiles (Road bike and TT Bike). Both results show low watt compare with my watt when I use smart trainer. My FTP is 200W (using indoor smart trainer + zwift). Can you check the files for both O&B calibration.

2. If I delete the data ride in the PP, does it mean that my O&B calibration data also deleted ?

Your TT ride looks correct. I compared PP readings to bikecalculator.com

Your road bike looks like you were in a group ride. Is this correct?

Group rides are much less difficult than solo rides.

If you want to compare watts to your smart trainer, then you need to do a solo ride.
