This likely depends on the precise setting that accompanies the Slope (maybe “Resistance” or “Standard” based on other TrainerRoad terms?) had when it swapped.
-
Resistance mode has a range of percent from 0-100%. If you had this set very high (maybe 40% or above) you could experience a lot of force resistance when the mode swapped.
- You can alter this setting on the screen whenever the app is running with the trainer in Resistance mode.
- You can also alter it prior to a workout by opening the Devices menu, open the trainer, swap it to Resistance mode, and set the percentage as desired.
-
Standard is similar to above, but it ranges from 1-9. This is usually available to Wahoo trainers when used on Bluetooth, so not sure if that is accessible to your Neo.
My guess is this basic setting just needs adjustment for your use.
