High resistance at start & more

[heiko]

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" but i am certain it's not
2. Power discrepancy - Direto reports about 4% higher wattage compared to Favero Assioma Duo. Expectation: Should be closer and the other way around (Direto reporting lower). Yes, i am aware there are people with 50 watts difference so i am not complaining too much
3. Sensor Dropouts (power reports zero) - i have about 4-5 dropouts, each lasting few seconds, per hour --> maybe a Garmin bug?

4. SOLVED: Short loss of resistance when starting an interval --> was fixed by upgrading from Edge 530 to 840, so was a Garmin bug.
