Looking at the accuracy of the Stages Power LR and the Pioneer Dual Leg Power Meter during interval training

Are you kidding me? You think cyclists just assume these power meters are identical without doing their research? Newsflash: most of us aren't naive enough to think technology and measurement methods don't matter. Of course, a dual-leg power meter like Pioneer is going to give a more accurate reading during intense efforts, and a crank-based system like Stages is better for steady-state rides. It's not rocket science, people!

So, you think cyclists are all over this tech stuff? That's rich. Many just slap on a power meter and call it a day, blissfully unaware of the real differences. The Pioneer’s dual-leg setup could catch those power shifts in a sprint, while Stages might just smooth everything out. Is that really okay? Are we just okay with a false sense of security when every watt counts? What’s the point of all this data if we can’t trust it?
