Thanks! I’ll try dropping the cadence a little before the interval starts. I have quite a few things to try before today’s workout! ---

It sure seems like quite a few people have lemons if that is the case 😢 ---

> [@Nope0337](#): > > I did the spin down calibration 2 days ago. I should be doing it before every ride, correct? From what I’ve gathered in other threads you do not need to run a spin down calibration before every ride. I do mine every week or so… That being said I do not think it will hurt anything, so really it’s up to you… > [@Nope0337](#): > > I will also trying turning Bluetooth off through my Mac and just using ant+ since that is what my heart rate is through. My heart rate is also ANT+, I picked up a [Wahoo cadence sensor](https://www.wahoofitness.com/devices/bike-sensors/wahoo-rpm-cadence-sensor) and turned off BT then all my issues went a way… A few times I have forgotten to turn bluetooth off on my lap top and my problems resurfaced. This leads me to the other area you should look at… … signal interference. I read on a few other threads, on this forum, that other trainers were acting weird and it was due to wifi and routers being too close and the signal was stepping on the trainer’s signals… If you do not mind - when you sort it out, post the solution here so others can benefit. ---

Will do! Our router is one floor above me, so I’m hoping that won’t be the issue. Fingers crossed it’s an easy fix. ---

I disabled power match for yesterday’s ride and I was able to maintain my cadence in the high 90s/low 100s with the power staying on target. The one problem with disabling power match is that my stages was recording about 3-8 watts higher. So my over-unders were technically over-barely understand, which makes me feel that my ftp has gone up at least! For the consistency and reliability of the trainer and yesterday’s ride I will likely keep power match disabled and do all rides, including my upcoming ramp test just using the direto. ---

Yeah, power match didn’t work for my drivo [Previous page](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/elite-direto-if-the-price-is-right-would-you-consider/6479.md?page=2)
