ps. I have Garmin Vector pedals measuring power, and the ONLY data that they have is cadence and force (and crank length plus a sensor angle to deduce torque, but these are fixed values for a given installation).
Sorry i made a mistake in my post
Was trying to answer this question
I could have asked 'how many newtons of force can you apply long term to your pedals before you fatigue excessively in long climb', but probably would not have gotten a useful response :-)
