Your profiles were "off". Planet X had too high wind; De Rosa, not enough.

Both are adjusted and now are very close to each other.

Load profiles into bike and you should be all set.

Brilliant. Thank you so much John. I also just switched profile on my latest FTP ride and all of a sudden my FTP increased by 16% from 234 to 272 - wonderful :D How do you recognise such wrong settings? Just your years of experience or are there some golden rules or tips to follow?

I look at the bike/wind speed window. If I see constant tailwinds (DeRosa) or constant headwinds (PlanetX) I know something is amiss. I adjust the profile so that wind speed is approximately equal to bike speed.

Ah - get it. But then we might have an issue. As this were commute rides - primarily in one direction (NW) and wind coming from W more or less (at least for the Planet X ride).

I think I better do an o&b ride this weekend and see how the Check calibration results look.
