I've realised i definitely put out about 10% more watts on my old bike compared to one I got around 6 weeks ago.

How can this be? Am using the same PM and same testing protocol. Would geometry of the two bikes make a difference? Maybe coz I'm so used to the old bike my muscles are better adapted to it? Both bikes have had the same bike fit measurements applied to them as far as possible....

If the fit is the same then I can't see why your power output should be different.

Yeh, it doesn't make sense!

I just feel way faster, more natural and stronger on one bike over the other. My only conclusion is that there must be some small differences in the fits due to the different geometries... It can't be possible to have them both exactly the same surely?
