My initial look says those graphs and their line function is off by a large amount. I’m on a bike+. For instance, from a recent workout, looking at rhe graph of the entire ride I find a spot where there’s resistance of 44, a cadence of 84 and output is 90 watts. Another ride, R of 52, C of 90 and W is 81 at a specific point. I would think one could use averages of R and C and W and map into that function but I’m not seeing it on my bike+. Bike is about a month old and was calibrated when I received it.Makes sense to me but it's curious Peloton does not offer up a "gold standard" chart or graph similar to what aringness found at whoismacho. I have found other published charts on the net and based upon those, re-calibrated my bike. My outputs are much closer (though still on the low side) of what the chart I found (output at various cadence / resistance combinations). However, the bike feels too easy now and my strive score is 50% less than what it was during a typical power zone workout.
I did not use Peloton's calibration kit and I think that was my error. It appears you have to crank up the resistance such that the middle two magnets meet a spacer (supplied in the Peloton's calibration kit). That defines the starting point for 31 quarter turn part of the calibration procedure.
They are sending me a kit today and hopefully, that will do the trick.
Of course looking back on my post something is odd since a lessor R and lessor C got a higher Wattage. I’ll have to go back and recheck numbers but not tonight.My initial look says those graphs and their line function is off by a large amount. I’m on a bike+.
