My head really hurts now........ I have an SRM. So I deselected the box in TR (I have been wondering about this since the onscreen instructions in TR clearly say to check it). So now according to Krispy, TR is displaying the watts from my SRM. But my Kickr is controlling TR. So if in ERG mode and with the Kickr controlling TR (meaning the Kickr is paired to TR and is adjusting its (the Kickr) watts (resistance) to correspond with the required watts for the prescribed workout in TR, and if there is a difference of lets say 30 watts between the Kickr and my SRM, then how can the displayed watts be coming from my SRM???? It makes no sense to say TR is being controlled by the Kickr watts but displaying the SRM watts. How does that work if there is a large difference between the SRM display watts and the Kickr control watts? In ERG the Kickr watts will always be forced to the prescribed workouts watts. The SRM watts will still be different.
The whole point of all of this is that the Kickr watts must be the same (or within an acceptable range) to external PM's. The problem is the Kickr watts are not even close in many cases to the external PM's watts for many people.. One would think that there would be a way to adjust the kickr to match the PM. But doing spindowns, calibrations, etc is not working (maybe the belt option does). Another way to do it would be to have the ability to introduce the PM into the loop (so not just Kickr - TR but PM-Kickr-TR) with the PM watt readings replacing the kickr watts so that the PM watts are used to match the prescribed TR workout. But this would only help people who have an external PM. And this does not solve the question/issue of why are the kickr watts so off? There is obviously something very wrong with many of the kickr's and the watts generated or Wahoo would have fixed it by now. We don't see 30 watt differences between other/various external PM"s. The watts being generated by many of the Kickr's are just wrong and there appears to be no way to fix it. Wahoo is just scrambling to find a band aide but they can't...yet.
