ERG lagging and weird HR readings

I have the same combo, Elite Suito trainer and Quark DZero power meter. That doesn’t sound normal. People will say that the Suito is slower to react, but it isn’t that slow and variations shouldn’t be that large. Something is off.

Can you follow @mcneese.chad’s suggestions and report back?

Customizing those makes a huge difference. Some things like reaction time are a matter of personal taste.
