You're missing a lot if you're interested in a realistic wattage reading. You noted 12 secs...my calibration factor is normally around 6 though I do use the larger flywheel. Calibrating correctly after the unit is properly warmed up is what makes the inRide work. Using the KK power curve for example at 22 mph one should be producing 319 watts. After proper calibration using the inRide I'm normally producing around 350 at 22 mph. Another point concerning accurate calibration using the inRide is this....I highly. recommend doing an additional calibration during a workout if you are doing sets of long intervals... as the rolldown speed can still change over the course of a long workout.
Your saying the inRide is more accurate?
I don't own a power meter but have used TR for a few years. I'm switching to the inRide based off of the review that Ray did. After a 10min warmup and calibration, he found it to pretty well match power as measured with a powertap. I like the idea of being able to switch bikes and get a good power reading (estimate).
