    New info regarding efficiency. Thanks @mschwett for suggesting getting a lot more low cadence 100/100 data. Big surprise to me anyway...

    The Spec mechanical power vs cadence is significantly curved. If you accept that the electrical power input is constant across the same...

    You can see the spec chart has a good bit more curvature. I did my best to match the spec chart in my spreadsheet to figure out an...

    I haven't tried that experiment but your statement is correct - It isn't designed to work at that low rpm that means it's less efficient...

    A short progress report: Here's how often a record occurred for a particular cadence. 0-10 have been deleted. (O was far and away the...

    Worked some on starting over with freshly downloaded data. The stats from 27 rides (48 miles, 3.5 hours) are smushed into a spreadsheet...

    Jeremy: Q1. Yes, micro tune in all cases except the 100/40 ride which I don’t think I presented yet. For 100/40 I set “sport” to 100/40...

    Another idea I have is that maybe the ramp functions should be forced to intersect Pr=0 at Pm=0. As I was analyzing the rides from...

    @mschwett , you were asking about Pmax at 80 cadence. Here's a chart from my 100/100 segment that shows the average and maximum Pm...

    I did three more test rides this afternoon. 5 minutes at 100/40, 20/100 and 30 minutes ar 20/20. Unfortunately I could not download any...

    Jeremy, I eliminated all records with cadence < 60. The data at low power, low cadence is very noisy. Most of the records are in the...

    A new trial, a little longer and with more rider effort to more clearly define Pm saturation values. I just did 40/40 and 40/100...
