First ride the power balance was way off (35%-65%) which is inconsistent from my Quarq data. But that appeared to clear up after recalibrating a couple of times.

In the tandem application, the stoker pedling and with my feet off the pedals, it still reads 10-20 watts. I'm hoping this isn't affecting the power when I pedal, given that I'm pulling her crank around rather than vice versa in the Captain coating experiement. Need to do some field tests to see.

I would send DCRainmaker an email (or contact via his website). He's very helpful and VERY knowledgable.
