Hello all, I’ve encountered an odd issue with power match and I was wondering if anybody else has experienced something similar. I’ve had a look through the previous posts about power match and couldn’t find discussion about this, but if I missed it I would appreciate a point in the right direction.
I’m running Favero Assioma Uno single sided power pedals with a Wahoo Kickr snap. Using methods as described in previous posts, the discrepancy between the pedal power and trainer power is approx 35 watts (which is a lot, but from other research I’ve found that the Kickr snap has a calibration issue which can cause this, and I haven’t been able to fix it but it stays pretty consistent so I’m not too worried about that).
Upon power match calibration completion, it correctly identifies the discrepancy (within a few watts of the above testing), but instead of making the trainer give less resistance to match the pedal power to the target power, the resistance increases and it stabilizes when my pedal power is about twice the discrepancy above the target power, so it looks like the discrepancy is being added to instead of subtracted from the trainer power.
So far, I’ve freshly calibrated the pedals and the trainer a few times, I’ve tried restarting my device (iOS) and reinstalling the app, I’ve tried enabling and disabling power match repeatedly, I’ve ensured that the ERG mode is functioning (by going on a free ride without power match and increasing and decreasing the target power, and successfully watching the pedal power adjust accordingly), I tried doing a longer workout (1hr constant power) to see if it would eventually stabilize (it didn’t change much after the first minute), and I’ve messed with a few other settings, but nothing has worked.
Has anybody experienced this before? This feels like an odd one. I appreciate any help in advance!
The picture below should show the pedal power being approximately twice the discrepancy above the target power, but I guess the power correction jumped when I took the screenshot (it showed +35w just before beginning to adjust, but 192 is close to the 35+60 shown in the image… might not be a coincidence?)
