P5x appears to be moving around more during the test than others. Could this be because of the thru axle issue?
Not an issue of the thru axle. We have video from behind that shoes the thru axle completely still. The frame itself is flexing while affixed. You can see it flex relative to the rear wheel. It's not a huge deal -- I did notice I was moving more, but it wasn't anything crazy; in fact, I actually thought I was just really anxious from losing all the time fashioning the new pieces for the thru axle.
In retrospect, I think I would notice it in a controlled environment, like on a trainer, and frankly I can't say that I would feel all that comfortable riding that bike on a rear-axle fixed trainer, and not because of product integrity reasons but just because I wouldn't want to be moving side to side that much while making watts.

Also I agree about lower cadence on Andean. What's target cadence? Do you have a head unit to monitor?
Target cadence is comfortable cadence. For me it's usually around 95-100rpm at that level of intensity. No head unit.
