That's one of the problems, its not consistent. LR balance changes with power and cadence, sometimes by a large amount in some people.

My Pioneer is "true" L/R (as opposed to P2M etc), here's a ride file for a ride I did recently that had a fair amount of steady state sub-threshold in it (climbing Flagstaff): http://tpks.ws/J4e16
47.4/52.6 was the result, which with Stages would have given me a total figure which would be ~5% down on what it should be.
I'm normally somewhere between 46/54 to 48/52 - double sided that doesn't matter of course, single sided and it'd add quite a degree of (invisible) variability.
Dammit
I'm aware of the distain for single sided power meters on here, but if I want to get into power based training and want to switch between multiple bikes. Is a one sided pedal based system all that bad? As long as it's consistent, isn't that all that matters?
