> [@Rossguy](#): > > Is there a setting to get the power to start ramping up a few seconds before the interval? - It appears that TR already sends the resistance change to the trainer around 1-2 seconds early. My experience with a CycleOps PowerBeam Pro, Hammer, H2, and Kickr all show the early sending in effect. > [@Rossguy](#): > > With the sharper intevals that are less than a minute I generally miss the power goal that is shown in the summary at the end of the interval by 10 watts. - Recognize that the interval summaries for short intervals combined with ERG, are likely not an accurate picture of what you actually did and got out of the interval. See my two posts below for details, but looking at the actual workout graph is superior to the summary table. - [Erg mode slow to react - Tacx Neo, Ebbetts Workout - #8 by mcneese.chad](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/erg-mode-slow-to-react-tacx-neo-ebbetts-workout/10565/8) - [Erg mode slow to react - Tacx Neo, Ebbetts Workout - #20 by mcneese.chad](https://www.trainerroad.com/forumt/erg-mode-slow-to-react-tacx-neo-ebbetts-workout/10565/20) --- _[View the full topic](https://www.trainerroad.com/forum/t/erg-mode-for-short-and-sharp-intervals/4091)._
