Is it normal for power metrics in cross to be far lower than othe disciplines
Yes. Lots and lots of zeros.
I ran one for a bit. It's pretty pointless to have it for races and you run the risk of breaking it. Obviously more so when it gets really wet / muddy.
I found HR is pretty useful if you want to pace yourself.

Yeah, but if you already own one and it’s a quick job to swap between bikes then I don’t see any reason why not?
Sorry for being a bit stalker-y Ed, but the thing I noticed from Strava was that your power seemed low. NP for 30 minutes of cross was a little over 230 when I’d have thought your ftp must be nearer 300? Is it normal for power metrics in cross to be far lower than othe disciplines, i’d have thought all the micro efforts would inflate Np?
Obvious caveats about power meter calibration and Strava messing up data etc etc.
