I wanted to see if anyone in the Slowtwitch community can help me out, since Trainerroad was not been able to resolve my problem in the last 4 days.
Problem:
**There is a 20-25 watt difference between the watts in TR and my Garmin readings. The low readings on my Garmin negatively impact my workout, because TR may have me at 220w for an interval, yet my Garmin has me at 195w. Thus, in order for me to hit 220w, I have to stop my workout, and jack up the % to 150% so it reads higher numbers on TR, and gets me to my watts on my head unit.
I understand that this problem can be fixed, perhaps, by the powermatch option under the tab “devices”. However, there is no powermatch option, but rather a powersmooth option that I tried, but the problem still persists.
Other Notes:
-
I have 3 different Garmin Ant sticks, so doubt that is the problem. -
The readings are matched perfectly if I am on my road bike, but with my current set up on my tri bike, it’s whack -
My trainer is a Tacx Neo -
I noticed the Bluetooth on TR icon is “off” -
When I go to “devices” to pair, it pairs with ANT/Trainer, HR monitor, and Speed/Cadence – that’s it. Should it be pairing with something else? -
My head unit is a Garmin 800 -
Laptop is Windows Surface Pro -
