Get on the mtb again and try for 300W. Will rule out "getting back into intervals dead legs" and "trying to hit 350W and bonking and hitting 250W average".
Fatigue maybe? Did you test on the same stretch of road? Unless you have some serious fit issue on mtb compared to road. I have power on road and mtb and the numbers are very similar depending on terrain. As an aside, spinscan showed a discrepency of 65-35 or more at low cadence for me (49/51 at 95-100rpm). Stages being one-sided and road usually at 95rpm vs 75rpm on mtb, might just be a reading error. Borrow someone's powertap for your mtb if you can.
Understood. I tried a few calculators, 272mm all around from 2 different calculators which accept offset. Dtswiss calculator gave 273 for front drive and rear non drive but doesn't accept offset measurement. Changed my mind about old spokes, want to go silver and DB. This will be my first wheelbuild, ordered all the stuff listed in op.
AFAIK the definition of FTP is not what you can hold for an hour, it's supposed to represent some physiological threshold, and how long you can ride at FTP differs from person to person (40-60mins?). 20m-5% is close enough. You aren't gonna test every week anyway, so it doesn't have to be exact! I prefer CP/W'Bal (which has it's own issues) that I calculate off shorter intervals to exhaustion.
A shortcut method to doing a lot of volume at vo2max is 30s/30s intervals, where the on bit is at MAP/5 min max power, recovery is at 50% MAP. If you can do 30s/15s it's even better. I say shortcut because it feels easier to do than continuous intervals (like 4x8 or 6x5). Some sauce
The reason for your point #2 might be that W' is one system (of many) that plays a role in fatigue. By riding for one hour under CP you're fatiguing something else.
Even before the red lines that bit of bike lane in woodstock was pretty much car-free. I'd reserve judgement on their effectiveness once they're in place after the circle towards liesbeek. Got knocked (lightly) by a truck on my way home through there yesterday.
I have a tacx flow and a power meter, the numbers are not the same. YMMV. I agree, though, that the numbers are consistent with proper warm up, calibration, tire pressure.
If you're using the edge just to record your ride, and the odd "how many km have I ridden", then the watch is fine. Otherwise the small screen will limit how much data fields you can see at a time (and turn your eyes squint). Get fenix, keep 810. N+1 applies to accessories too.
