Well, my 5 minute number is how long it takes me to climb a steepish local hill, when I'm doing a few reps. So it's imprecise, and there's like one significant figure. 250-300 watts is my guess. And half as fast as cat3? Yeah, I could see that.
My point still is, it's possible to calculate the upper limit on losses from wheel flex under power load, and I'd assert that they are small enough to not matter. And what's more, the effect of torsional spring type flex goes down (at a constant power output) as speed goes up.
