30w/10% is a big jump. Not surprised really given the power you were holding on the 70k tt a while back.

Savage form Fazz, you continue on this relentless upward trend :cool:
As I have a Quarq myself I am interested which PM gave the lower number and the difference between PM's.
Where did you do it? Was it solo or a group/coach session? Also wondering if you wouldn't mind sharing the file-I will have my first FTP test soon and I want to see what a well paced effort looks like

Fair play Fazz. I was supposed to do mine last night but mental work prevented that. I am about to do it now though
Not looking forward to this! First test in a long long time and my body has only seen minor glimpses of pain in recent months so this is going to hurt!
Just getting the soundtrack ready! Think i'll go with this - https://soundcloud.com/darko-esser/balans025-oscar-mulero0 -

@Jackyback – thanks, reckon you’ll be due for a nice increase on your next test too hopefully! Though adding the SRM to your arsenal may show up different numbers now. If anything using 2 seperate Power meters could actually skew your training specific intervals (which let’s face it are the main improvement sessions imo). I’d advise sticking to your Race power meter for important interval watts based sessions in my experience.
If JB so wished he could alter the slope on the SRMs so that the power matched the P2M. Admitedly then he would have two "wrong" power meters
I do know what you mean on the two PMs. My SRMs read 3% higher than Computrainer. Its awkward maintaining two FTPs. *
*Yes I could re calibrate my CT to match the SRMs but really both are right (power at wheel should be less than power at crank due to drive train inefficiencies)0 -

As long as i know that the P2M reads x% lower then it should not be a factor especially as i will do all my specific sets on the tt with srms.
@mrbungle - If its a new unit they should have sorted the temp drift that the P2M suffers with so you should not have to zero it all the time. Perhaps the P2Ms just naturally read low compared to other units? Have a look at DCRainmakers review especially the accuracy element at the bottom. http://www.dcrainmaker.com/2013/01/power2max-power-meter-in-depth-review.html0 -
