UI/UX: w/kg
I understand that you don't want to show w/kg for the riders around you and I understand your reasoning. However, on my bike computer in real life I have my power data set to display as w/kg NOT a power number. It would be nice to have this as an option in the HUD display of my data that others can't see. I think others have also moved away from viewing a power number and instead use w/kg. Again it would be nice to have this as a power option in the displays that are private to the user.

Many thanks for this more nuanced suggestion, and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.
We've deliberately not declined this one and will add it to the list of suggestions to consider in more detail. Whilst the general position remains that we deliberately choose not to publish this metric, it potentially could be displayed for yourself only (and be blank when viewing other riders) as an option in the custom UI.

I get the rationale for not wishing to publish w/kg, and that's fine, however you do talk about using other metrics (%CF if I recall correctly, which one assumes is related to FTP) to understand how hard other riders are working around you. Would be good to know if you're working as hard as others around you (or not), particularly in a group ride, and if that person that's just flown by you at 56kph is actually putting the power down vice some bot driving it....

Can you direct me to where is that option in the UI @George Gilbart?

w/kg being visible for your own HUD is ok but I dont think publishing these metrics in the open would be advisable
