Evidently he made it...

My "watts saved" numbers are an order of magnitude guess based on my experience. It depends a lot on the type of wheel you have, etc.; you know, the details. But 10% for power seems high. On the other hand, because I am a larger person than CDR, wheels will affect me less, so his experience might differ a little.
