Cadence suggestion / help?

Any tips on cadence? Having a hard time determine if I should be targeting a number, or if power is worth the investment - currently unavailable to me off my kicker core 2

I’m surprised that the trainer doesn’t report cadence. It’s not perfect AFAIK they all do some math based on power changes to infer cadence and report that. What is your trainer connected to?

As far as what to target, I’ve heard that 80 - 90 rpm is what most people feel comfortable with. I find myself sticking somewhere in there unless I’m out of the saddle, doing strength work, or sprinting.

I have cadence available - but not power. sorry if that was unclear.

Kickr Core 2 doesn’t provide power data? That data is pretty critical, especially for indoor rides where you don’t have pace. Otherwise you’re relying on heart rate (which lags) and RPE
