Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

I have had an XR for 18 months now and raised some early comments on this thread. I only use mine with zwift so I cant comment how it relates to other systems. My first Direto I sent back as in erg mode I simply could not get it to track the power in ERG mode. The second one was exactly the same ......

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Mumhra, can you post both those graphs again with cadence. This is quite important. Elite argue that if you put a power meter on your crank on the older machine, the actual trace would be like the trace from the new machine. The older trainer, and many other trainers filter the power variance so tha...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Can confirm that the wahoo app has the option to set the wheel circumference properly. Wahoo control upset my direto so it was not usable in zwift... be warned, using elemnt or bolt to control the direto is not a good idea. To recover from the issue had to load in an elite erg training program. Afte...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Prozo' great post mate. Thank you for your time. I don't have a separate power meter so it is impossible for me to replicate.... but I will after Christmas!!! Mordorr, when did the elmnt app update.... I only checked that lat week and couldnt change the wheel circumference? what version of companion...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Thanks Mordorr.... that's about where I am with it. Was just wondering if there was a work around. You would have thought that the app/device requirements could be set up with a simple handshake at connection... are these guys not all supposed to be working to open protocols as long term everyone is...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Hi all, was going to do some testing yesterday and thought that I would start with a calibration. I'm running the 073 software and it simply wont cal either using the zwift cal or the my etraining app. It lets me do the spin up but after the spin down just says failed to calibrate.... anyone else ha...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

I am trying to really stick with the xr. Unintentionally it is making me a way better rider. Today I did a free interval session just riding around 3 x 8mins targeting 3.5w/kg.... and I nailed all 3 of them, with the watt variation really not that much different to erg mode. Ok, I know that's not th...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Urdel62, now there was I thinking that your erg step responses was actually a lot better than what I see. So glad to understand it wasn't erg... which is a whole different issue with the direto. In free mode, I expect the direto is one of the most 'honest' trainers . If you free ride in zwift or Rou...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

I have attached a graph from my work out. Towards the right hand side you can see that the power drops considerably. My heart rate flattens and starts to lower, but you can also see in the cadence graph,I lifted the rpm, it was from 98 to 105+ to 'chase' the power up. It simply would not increase. A...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Did the zwift ftp ramp test yesterday, 20w increments per minute. Still greater variation than I would want , but for each value I was hitting the correct average power all the way up to about 320w. Throughout, my cadence increased with loading form 90 to 100 rpm. ( I just spin faster as the load go...
