Zwift Power Reading Are 2X What I'm capable of.

I’ve  used a Cyclops Power Beam Pro on Zwift for over two years without any major issues.  Recently in the midst of a ride, my power readings rose to 2X my normal output for a known gear ratio and cadence. I thought it might be a temporary anomaly.  I rode again today with the same erroneous readings.  Any recommended solutions?

My tire is set to the roller with the appropriate pressure. I’ve paired to the trainer correctly.

Hi Richard,

If you have the PowerBeam Pro paired as a power source, I’d see if Saris had any calibration software available that could account for this. Zwift is just reading the data being transmitted from the trainer - if the wattage is high then it is possibly originating from the trainer itself.

Thanks!
