High resistance at start & more

Hi, first: The trainer works okay, i made my peace with the remaining issues. Still, here is the list - any ideas / updates? My Direto XR is controlled via a Garmin Edge 840 via ANT+ 1. Very high resistance when starting a workout (ERG mode) --> maybe a Garmin bug? Support said it's "normal&quo...

Re: Direto XR hard resistance at the start.

My trainer has only just started doing this after being fine for many months. It's when I start a training plan/module - it will remain at way past my FTP and it won't come right unless I pause/restart the ride 2-3 times (using the companion app in Rouvy). Is this a firmware thing?...or is somethin...

Re: Firmware Update v80 stuck

The update finally worked when i tried with my iPad Pro instead of my iPhone 13.
The exact background is still obscure to me (i don't buy this "interference" theory) but at leat i can check off this problem.
Good luck to everybody else!

Re: Firmware Update v80 stuck

i opened a ticket and will post an update here.

In the meantime: Could somebody could tell us how the expected behavior looks like - is this firmware update e.g. a 2min thing?

Re: New Firmware v80

Any experiences with the ERG-mode improvements yet, is the upgrade worth it?
I am hoping for these two issues to be fixed (when trainer is controlled by a Garmin Edge)
- extreme high resistance when starting an ERG session
- occasional shorts power dropouts

Re: Direto XR hard resistance at the start.

same issue, firmware 078 and using a Garmin Edge 530 to control the trainer.
Support claims it‘s normal which is clearly not true.
i upgraded from a Direto (first generation) but i regret it

according to Elite support (19.07.2020) there is no strict limit: "A difference of +/- 7/8 points is completely normal unless you don't notice something wrong with your trainer. I suggest you to keep using your trainer without any worries and to contact us if you notice some problems with your ...

Re: ELITE Direto VS Tacx Flux (T2900) - What to choose for Zwift??

Feature-wise both trainers (Direto and Tacx Flux) are rather similar while the Diretos powermeter is more accurate. If you want to have a more detailed comparison you should check out the reviews at DC Rainmaker. One isue: Elite basically doesn't release software updates. For example, the old Direto...
