Also, on those charts, wind resistance would disappear, and rolling resistance would disappear as a discrete factor and be added to bearing and drivetrain friction, perhaps as a different number.
Sure. We would make those adaptations if we were talking about stationary trainers.
Edit. Personally I don’t like them and use them only as a last resort. 😊
