According to that, you'd need to do roughly 21-22mph to hit 300w, but a 53x19 at 88rpm is well under 20mph, like 19.2mph, which does sync up with your measured results. Power, though, at 19mph, looks like it should be more in the 220w-230w range according to TrainerRoad.
What's your take on that?
No idea. I was obsessively checking slope, etc. Maybe my tires, although I don't feel like switching tires (I have the same tires across my clinchers).
I don't think it would be possible that my SRM reads that much higher than actual values, else my wattages when I'm riding outside would be ridiculously low (like crits where I avg 160-180w).
