Any time I try to do a structured workout on the smart trainer without engaging Erg Mode, my power is all over the map and I end up mentally exhausted from constantly thinking "More power! More power! NO! Less power! NO! Not that much less! More! No, less! No, more!!"
I have to give kudos to Jeff for trying so hard to eliminate variables, while still doing a real world test. It may not be perfect, but at minimum it indicates you won't lose speed going from 28s to 32s, and might gain some, and at the same time improve comfort. I think I'll pick up a pair of 32s for the Canyon, if I find some good tires on sale at a good price!
