Morning. Has anyone with a significant power imbalance any experience of using this, I understand that you can factor in an imbalance? I have whacking great imbalance with my left being much weaker than the right. I use Powertap pedals on the turbo, which give me R/L data and I’m looking at a (relatively) cheap way of getting power readings in the real world. Because of my injury I couldn’t use single-sided pedals out and about, but when I’m safely fixed in one position I’m happy using them. The expensive option seems to be Garmin Rally XC200s, but I’m loath to buy another pair of pedals. And a left-side only crank is obviously going to pick up my weak leg and not give me anything comparable to my ‘indoor power’.

With the imbalance factor programmed into the app, this seems a decent way of getting (roughly) what I want for under 300 quid – I’m just looking for feedback for anyone who is actually using these with an imbalance?

 

Thanks tonnes 🙂

I get 55/45 from my Powertap

I get 55/45 from my Powertap P1s and then use this as a scale factor on the 4iiii android app.  Set it once and that’s it.  If (like me) you get more of an imbalance the harder you go then its not perfect but its better than nothing

Thank you Liam. I’m looking

Thank you Liam. I’m looking more like 10-15% depending on the effort/cadence, but that’s good to know. cheers 🙂

Hey, I’ve been a long time

Hey, I’ve been a long time user of 4iiii. Had a slight (2%) imbalance post crash that I’ve fixed but if you know the imbalance it’s very easy to use the 4iiii app to compensate.
