    Someone pointed me at this link as a way of showing me the effect of different tyres on speed, etc. But it struck me that by reversing the calculations, if you know your speed, cadence, body weight, etc, you can calculate your power output without a power meter. Not in any useful way, I know, but just for curiosity's sake. It will also tell you how losing a few pounds off your belly will effect your speed, all other things being equal.

    Probably completely inaccurate, but hey, all that time isn't going to waste itself, is it?

    More suitable for looking at climbing power where speed is lower thus aero is less important.

    Yep and the grade should be consistent (good luck with that :D ) and the steeper the better (for the reason already given).
