  Hey @assilva172

  The speed of the trainer is simply the speed recorded with the ANT+ sensor from your rear wheel.

  The speed shown by default is the "virtual speed", calculated in real time to have an estimate of what would be your real speed in the outside world. It is possible to change the default speed in the workout options if you wish.
  This speed is calculated with your Power, your weight, and other parameters set in your profile.

  Cheers,
  Max

  Hey!

  We will need to have a power curve for each separate resistance (knob)
  So if you have one that you can use most of the time, that would be good.

  Then you could record the trainer speed and the power at the same time (with a power meter and a speed sensor)
  After a few workout, when we have a lot of data, we can check the .fit file and build a spreadsheet that will have

  Speed, Power
  5 kmh = 150 W
  10 kmh= 200 W
  etc.
  The more points the better to derive the formula!

  Cheers,
  Max

  Hi Simon,

  Sorry for the delay.
  I can check to add a revision 2 of the power curve with the one you posted. Let me know if you are able to convert the formula to a polynomial of degree 3, usually the formula are using this format.
  i.e : power = speed^1 x constant + speed^2 x constant + speed^3 x constant

  I think contacting the company would be a good bet to get the exact formula instead of deriving it from a small graph in the doc.

  Cheers,
  Max

  Hey there, if the trainer is ANT+ (which seems the case),
  You can pair it like a normal trainer (FE-C) or Power meter in the ANT+ page.

  Hi there,

  I am afraid I don't have a power curve for this trainer yet.
  Let me know if you are able to find one, I could add it to the app.

  Cheers,
  Max

  Hi there!

  So far the only JetBlack power curve we have is the "Z1 Fluid Hydrogel"
  Let me know if you are able to get an old on the formula, I could add it easily to the program :)

  @admin

  Thanks for the reply Max. I also contacted Kinetic and this is the reply I received:

  No, the curve is the same for steady state riding, when doing intervals however there is more mass to accelerate so they will certainly be tougher.

  So, it appears that except for rapid accelerations the curve should be adequate.

  Thanks again.

  I have tested it with a simulator already and all looks good.
  Under 10mph you should be under 50w for example.
  I have used the curve on page 15 with the Fan at 0% resistance.

  @Miguel,
  And I'll add. As far as the system knows its is going x mph which = y watts. But changing the tension does change the resistance that you feel. If you had a power meter, it is upstream of the roller/resistance unit and would show that you would require more power to go x mph when more tension is applied. It's been posted on forums that doing a coast down check is the best way to keep the tolerance narrow. I have a KK fluid trainer, I read about and started doing a coast down check many years ago. KK has published their resistance curve and based on guys with power meters they found the following: When the unit is cold spin up to 20 to 20.2 mph and coast while timing with a simple digital watch the number of seconds it takes for the wheel to stop. Cold it would take ~12 seconds to stop spinning, after ~10' of riding the unit is considered warmed up and if you do another coast down check it would take ~2 seconds longer to stop. This ~14 sec coast down time was found to be about the same as the KK published power curve based on power meter readings. Now with the COF2 trainer, not sure what the coast down time should be but if you felt a certain setup feels right then do the coast down and make sure it's in a tight range so that ride A vs B vs C and so on are all comparable to one another. This way the gains are all relative and will show up on the road.

  Thanks for sharing! I guess we will need a Power Meter in order to see which curve is closer to the real line. You may want to remove value after 600W to get a better comparison on the graph, thanks :)
