Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

No, the conclusion is absolutely correct. You have unrealistic expectations for ERG mode, and you have no idea what the human-generated power characteristics are. Register any ERG training on Qubo, provided that the registration is done with a normal power meter (crank, pedals, etc.). Only then wil...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

I'm writing this post because I don't want that Elite make any updates on this issue. ..... Speed isn't goal on erg mode. Holding power is. Yes it is hard:) Well, that is a strange conclusion. If speed isn't the goal, then Elite should make an update. With how my Qubo worked i also had to hold the ...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

I think that is the best erg mode explained, https://youtu.be/LbeliW8uObk Yep, i watched that video. It is by far the best video explaining ERG mode. Now listen to what Shane has to say from 0.54 to 1.01 in that video : "ERG mode will lock in a prescribed wattage and hold that resistance regar...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Most likely it means that the freewheel is moving too fast, and the trainer can't hold keep low power. Change into a lower gear when you need to hold such "low" power values. On ERG mode I'm always on the 36x23 and find it optimal. True. But with my Qubo it would show that i was pushing 1...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Together with Elite support I did a couple of tests, and for me smoothing level 4 works best (+ the 3sec avg setting in Zwift). I can not find that smoothing option. Maybe the Tuo just does not have that option since it is a lot cheaper then your trainer. When looking back at my Wahoo Snap, who had...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

OK, just completed the new ramp test. Not trying to hit the asked wattages like before (or hitting a moving target like we say) but just focusing on cadence. I tried to keep it at 80 rpm. I did not pay any attention to the wattages. I placed my chain on the small chainring on the front and in the mi...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

Mumhra, can you post both those graphs again with cadence. This is quite important. Ok, but i think it won't help you much since i never bothered much with cadence. On my older machine i simply did not have to because the machine gave me the power i wanted. It simply changed the resistance very qui...

Re: Direto XR problems with ERG mode

It looks like the new Elite trainers really have a problem in ERG mode. Not only the Direto XR, which this topic is about, but also other Elite trainers. I found the same problem online with Elite Suito en i have the same problem with the trainer i bought, the Elite Tuo. I know, the Tuo is a lot che...
