That table was derived from Tom A's data, rather than being what I've found is needed. I have since then purchased a Lemond myself, and some example figures for speed vs power are:
100W 25.8kph
165W 31.4kph
240W 36.2kph
260W 37.3kph
350W 41.8kph
414W 44.4kph
Those are SRM power figures, the Wattbox reads a few Watts higher. It took several months for mine to become "run in" to reach those speeds at the given power figures, but it has been stable at the same level for several months now.
The temperature according to the Garmin is generally around 16C where I train, so perhaps you train in a higher temperature and the lower air density makes yours spin faster? Or maybe you live significantly above sea level?
