Just randomly ride over potholes, that work!
Do you have an idea of how big the other riders you are comparing to are? Strava weight categories might give a clue.
The problem is that you are at the lighter/small end of the spectrum already

1, broadly speaking I'm pretty happy with my vectors but only having one powermeter I'm sometimes anxious about their accuracy, and occasionally I get the odd bit of weird data. In particular with this ride I looked at my CP chart for the past few months and decided that 255-260w was a reasonable target for the ride. In the end I spent the entire first leg backing off the power because I was worried about blowing, but I was consistently 20w higher than my target. Either I'm considerably stronger than I'd guessed, or something is fishy. The other thing that leads me to be sceptical is that my power balance was a consistent 55% when it is usually spot on 50% during TTs... Maybe there was something off about the calibration that day.

I'm only trying different lengths for now because that is what I have to hand, although I'd like to try a -17 stem to drop my bars c.1cm. I'm not sure if I'll detect the change in stem length, but I've recently been feeling like I'm perched on the front of my pads so it might also be more comfortable too.

The ManderMethod, a serious rival to the Chung formula?

Re balance - are you frequently swapping the pedals between bikes?
Did you get much useful data from your testing?

Does anyone have any experience with the rotor power LT or the new Inpower? Thinking of changing from my stages to one

Still a left sided power meter, no point. New cheap Quarq or P2M.
