has anyone had any experience of their 4iiii precision power meter (single sided) reading low?
around steady watts just generally riding between 150-200w, the 4iiii will read at about 130w and at a higher power sprinting type level at around 800w, the 4iiii will read more like 600w. i've compared this against readings from a power2max type s and the tacx vortex trainer power readings.
it's consistently lower at all power levels and also find that it is slow to react to changes in power compared to the others.
it's been calibrated according to the instructions no problem and the calibration reading given, is as it should be.
is there something you especially need to be aware of when installing or something not stated when calibrating? feel like i'm missing something for the readings to be like this - but then it's only installing a crank, so there's not really much to it....
it was bought after reading reviews against other low budget, single sided power meters, such as the stages system, which said the 4iiii was the more accurate system when compared to higher end power meters and also the more consistent one, so i was surprised to find this doesn't seem to be the case....
