Factory spindown KICKR/MOVE/CORE/SNAP [tsg]

Factory spindown

A factory spindown calibration will read and re-register the precise drag values of your unit, allowing the algorithm accurately calculate your power output during use. This process is performed during production to account for very small differences in the manufacturing process and should not be done unless absolutely necessary. 

Performing an factory spindown improperly or frequently may cause harm to your device as the calibration test produces heavy drag on the unit.
