100 Wasted Watts???
Posted: Mon Apr 08, 2019 2:45 pm
What could the explanation be for 100 wasted watts appearing at 3:16:30 for a minute or so? I was not aware of anything wrong at the time, my other metrics appear pretty normal. My recent wasted watts average out at 2w. Ride file attached.
One other question - I bought a new and better bike recently, which seems to have had an impact on my wasted watts. With my previous aluminium frame bike my typical figure was 3w, my first couple of rides with the new carbon frame bike have returned 2w for each ride. Is the improvement possibly due to improved frame design? Or have I just improved my pedalling style? Possible, but less likely!
Many thanks
