Setting up with a dumb spin bike
Posted: Thu Nov 07, 2019 4:13 pm
Hello
I have an ancient, dumb but great Schwinn IC Elite Spin Bike - I've used it indoors over the years with cadence+speed sensors+HRM to get a good handle on my training in the winter. I want to try and throw in power now with my PP. There are no power curve profiles that I can see in Isaac for a generic or other spin bike. Any suggestions about how I can best approach setting up an estimated power curve by tweaking one of the existing indoor trainer profiles? I know it is never going to be bang accurate but it would be good to give it a try. Wondering whether I can guess it from RPE on the indoor bike vs data from equivalent effort ride on a bike in the real world..? Thanks for any ideas.
