I've been using Stelvio for a while now, and it says that FTP 210W can be achieved in the field.
I was curious if the FTP 210W could actually be achieved in the field.
I've been using a power meter for a long time, but I've never measured FTP before.
So, I decided to test my FTP on a familiar Yeouido round-trip course that I ride 2-3 times a week.
This course has several intersections with 90-degree turns, short ups and downs, and a submerged crosswalk signal. There are many sections where you have to reduce pedal power. Fortunately, the submerged crosswalk lights were green both ways, so I was lucky.
And it rained lightly at night, so the road surface was wet. The road conditions weren't good, but there were hardly any riders.
It takes about 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete the course, but I focused on riding for 1 hour.
The result was an average of 210W, which is the highest in the past year. It's ant power. ㅎㅎ
Stelvio Pentagon records rankings based on peak power per time period.
My ranking went up 4 steps with this 60-minute record. ^^
The average speed for this one-hour test was 34.7 km/h, and if I calculate my one-hour endurance capability, the average speed is 35.1 km/h. It's really accurate in calculating my average speed.
I recently replaced the wheels on my Roval CLX50 with CLX32.
As expected, if the speed doesn't exceed 40 km/h, the benefits of rim height are limited.
There is no difference in speed.. Instead, changing to 32mm made the ride much smoother and I am satisfied.
I don't know how long I will be riding rim brakes, but I am still using SRAM eTap 12 speed.
Wouldn't disc brakes be more aerodynamic? ㅎㅎㅎ
It's been a while since I posted on Dossa. See you later~~~
