JOOC, for the few non-power users, how would the 3.5 w/kg translate in terms of an oly dist bike split, assuming decent aero-ness???


The graphs below from this 2012 thread, courtesy of Art Hare, should answer your question. Looks like an 8 mph delta between best and worst performance at 3.5 W/kg! It would be cool to see a histogram of performances in that range to get a sense of what to expect with "decent aero-ness". The average appears to be around 24 mph.

The huge variability stems from many sources: inaccurate reporting (exaggeration or honest mistake), inaccurate PMs, hub-based vs. crank/pedal-based PMs, CdA, Crr, ambient air pressure, and possibly other factors...
