Hi, this week I have done two separate 1 hr max efforts, one on the road bike and one in the TT bike. Both times I was fresh and food the same route. My normalised per for the road bike effort was 267 and for the TT bike 223. My question is...is this difference reasonable/ normal/ to be expected? I'm supprised at such a difference and am wondering if my power meter (garmin vector pedals) might be playing up. The reason I am doing the tests in the first place is that I notice that sometimes hitting my power targets on my training sessions seem easy and other times hard, so I was wondering if my power meter was playing up. I often swop the pedals between the road bike and the aero bike but always re calibrate each time.
Interestingly my average speed on the road bike effort was 31 kph and on the TT bike it was 34, so I'm not doubting the benefit of the aero position, just surprised at such a big FTP difference. Any thoughts, ideas or experiences most welcome.
