Thanks!

Any suggestions on how to better estimate or calculate actual Crr? It seems like it's pretty crucial to get an accurate CdA #.

It might not matter that much for an A/B test scenario where I can assume some constant (.004 or .005 whatever it may be) and look at the differences in CdA between A and B. I guess this is ultimately what matters but would be nice to have a semi accurate CdA as well :)

Uncheck the "constant altitude" box.


You are correct in that an accurate crr is necessary for an accurate cda but not necessary for the purposes of A/B testing and getting faster. The simplest way I've found to coax out crr on the road is to climb a very, very steep hill at a low speed. There's another method but it eludes me at the moment.
