Put a Quarq spider on my Specialized crank (road bike) and have a couple of questions, specifically as it relates to L/R balance (not that I really care that much).
My ride (2nd ride on it) yesterday came out L:55% ; R:45%. Previous ride was somewhat similar. I'm seriously doubting these numbers, simply because I know my right leg is stronger than my left leg. I know this through my experiences riding PowerCranks (left side fatigues MUCH faster than my right side) and I had a lateral release done on my knee back in '95. There is no way my left leg is stronger than my right....just isn't possible.
So, how does the Quarq determine L vs R leg? Is it possible I put the spider on the crank 180* from where it is supposed to be?
Also, on my first ride, the Quarq wattage was about 10w higher than both the PT numbers and the Computrainer. I'm assuming this is primarily due to a crank PM vs. one "further down" the drivetrain....anyone have any insights here?
thanks!
