Re: Power Numbers Off on Garmin Vector vs Computrainer [Gilliga]

Sure did, I spent a lot of time and effort making sure all of that was calibrated. I found the variable numbers from Vector to Kickr was constant about 10% however, the vectors really were not accurate once above 350 watts or below 100w, so for me as a triathlete that did not matter, and I knew the difference from training on kicr to my vector numbers. However, now on Stages, I like that I dont need to worry about setting angles, I just put them on, used the app to do a zero reset and they work, and they track consistently close to Kickr across all watts, so now my training and race numbers match and I dont have to think about it.

My Vectors were original with a 2 upgrade kit, so maybe the Vector 3 is better. The original stages had issues too (my mates had them and were not happy) but now I have V3 and found them good and so have others. They were on sale $400 AUD recently on the 105 cranks so that got me in, I went 6 months no PM as sold the Vectors and just went back to HR for a while.


I used the DC Rainmaker Analyzer to compare twice two different rides between the vectors and my kickr snap. The vectors are adding an extra 10% compared to the power output of the snap.

Below in blue is the vectors, in purple the kickr snap. There's a constant ~10% difference from the snap vs the vector.

PS: everytime I paste my screenshot into the text editor, it shows up fine and then I hit submit and the screenshot disappears. Even if I upload it as an attachment it doesnt stay. I'm really confused. Here's the screenshot => https://ibb.co/XV4rG0h
