I used to like adjusting the tilt on my kickr bike to simulate climb mechanics. I am naturally a climber and when doing harder efforts like Over-Unders I used to use the tilt function to simulate a climb when I felt like I was struggling. It is a nice way to bail out without bailing out, if that makes any sense. I would get that little biomechanical boost of efficiency when the nose came up and I’d be able to finish the interval without compromising power. For some reason though that function doesn’t work anymore. I will try the buttons and nothing will happen UNTIL the interval ends and then it will jump to whatever setting I had inadvertently set it to while attempting to futz with the buttons. It’s like it’s recording the button pushes but doesn’t deliver them to the hardware until the next interval break but by that point I don’t want it tilted and the buttons go back to not working again. It’s really odd.
Anyone have any idea what’s going on here? It’s a real bummer, that functionality was hugely helpful for me. (to say nothing of the value of being about to adjust one’s position over the course of 3-5hr rides to help me stay comfortable)
Any wisdom out there? Anyone else notice this change?
