Besides, the test is terminated when you can no longer maintain a steady 80 rpm, which I think is rather slow when you get into the 300+ Watt region. Because you have to deliver more power in the same number of rotations, there a point where you simply can no longer sustain it. Whereas if you would be allowed to make more rotations, perhaps you could. Either way, it doesn't last an hour, because it increases with 100 Watt every 10 minutes | |
