BKool calibration

[Roubaix rider]

hello all, used my BKool pro trainer for the first time today and found that the wattage was 30-40 less than on my power meter. I also noticed I ride in a higher gear than I would on the road, as if the resistance in the unit was not enough. Is there a way to calibrate the unit, or is this to be expected? I still got a quality workout, but was wondering if I could get the trainer to provide ride more closely resembling a road ride. It was a flat course so I don't know if this would still be a problem on hillier routes.

Interesting! Would you also try and compare a route with steep incline, 10% and more, with your powermeter?

But, on your original question: Sorry, no way to calibrate the unit.

Eg. the short but steep Berchtesgaden route.

I will give that a try. Thanks
