The dead spots are still dead spots on the road though.
Lower power on turbos must be because no bastard actually wants to ride on the turbo so of course RPE goes up.
Is it the wheel though? Run down time on the road is because you have a big lump of gristle on the bike too.
I dunno, I'd rather keep my bike rideable so it's on and off the turbo quick without need for wheel changes and stuff. That extra riding time probably makes up for my lack of KE in the wheel anyway :P
You are correct that the reason KE is high on the road is because there is a big lump sitting on the saddle moving forwards.
As you are not moving forwards on the turbo, this isn't present - so to simulate it you need to increase the mass of the only moving object - ie the wheel or flywheel.
