That's interesting. The guy we had to DQ in DRS said he was also doing high cadence stuff.

Yes it causes a problem, because of the missing readings Zwift gives you some sticky watts without your knowledge, I can't see an easy way round this unless Zwift alters the way it handles input from your PM.
You can of course alter your riding style and ride with a lower cadence, but hard to do after years of spinning.
I have recorded 100rpm for 60 miles outdoors.

This is correct, but from running a few tests it seems Zwift doesn't cope well with high cadence efforts either on my setup, it drops a lot of readings to zero, easiest programme to see this is "Compare the Watts" ( a web based comparrison) it has a tick box to show or isolate zero readings.
It shows the differnce in Watts this makes.
It also makes the power graph look as if your droping your cadence to zero then ramping it up again, when whats acually happening is readings are been missed.

When I posted a power graph from one of your recent rides and pointed out the constant peaks and troughs (down to zero) you said that was just your riding style. Are you now saying you do actually pedal constantly, but all those drops to zero power are equipment misreads? Or are you saying you are riding with stop/start, on/off style but in addition you're also getting these incorrect zero readings?

The ZP data doesn't show cadence to confirm this but you may have that on your Zwift.com ride data
