This is from freezing helmet cam clips as well as looking while doing efforts in training.
do you have any smoothing set up in the software?
i use 3 crank revolutions. even if you use 1 crank rev, there is some smoothing.
not an issue as you have a wired unit (what recording rate do you use? 1Hz?), but the ANT+ protocol is 1 sample per second, and because of that you can get some funky stuff going on for 1" samples, esp for a fractional pedal stroke at high cadence. you can catch the data sampling at a weird time.
peak 1" power shouldn't be relied upon for much of anything. it's rarely a real number.
