Power
When to calibrate the trainer
Some trainers need calibration or spindown to measure power better. Others self-calibrate or do not require it in the same way.
Recommended steps
- Check whether your model recommends calibration.
- Warm up the trainer for a few minutes if the manufacturer asks for it.
- Do a spindown from the manufacturer’s compatible app if appropriate.
- Do not calibrate every five minutes searching for the perfect number.
- Compare sensations and data after calibrating.
- If you do not know whether your trainer needs it, ask providing the exact model.
