I used a CycleOps PowerBeamPro for five years until TR sunset its support of that trainer with the switch to the new app. I switched to a Kickr Snap because of a variety of reasons. post #1 [image] Kickr Snap vs Core Equipment I need to get a new electronic tr…

Are you using ‘resistance’ or ‘standard’ mode. If it’s the former I think the snap will apply a linear power curve, like a magnetic trainer. Standard mode will apply a power curve, like a fluid trainer. You have different power curves to choose from. Maybe worth a look…

I will have to look again, but I think the only options I see when I go into the device settings are “erg” or “resistance”. I’m not sure that “standard” mode is an option… but that sounds like it would be better.

Ah… I will have to try to connect via BLE. I’ve been connecting via ANT+. I will give that a try! Thank you very much!!

I’ve just checked my old kickr, I’ve got erg, resistance and standard, via Bluetooth on IOS. I’d expect that to be matched on all versions of TrainerRoad. The wahoo app will give you a rough guide of each power curve.

I know you said you don’t like erg mode, but been using a snap for early 4 years and haven’t had this issue, even with microbursts (15 seconds or more are fine, the 5-8 sec ones are less than ideal). I DID have the issue you are saying at first, and was fixed with a firmware update (I was getting ra…

My experience too… my SNAP has been rock solid for over 3 years, no complaints at all.

Thats unfortunate. This is a long shot, I assume you’ve long since thought of this but do you have access to an ant+ dongle…? Or could you use your phone for trainerroad until that Bluetooth dongle shows up…?

I assume you meant this dongle by the way as your machine isn’t windows 10…? https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Silicon-Labs/BLED112-V1?qs=2bnkQPT%252BPaf%252BBQ6Sw8mJqQ%3D%3D

Standard mode should be available on Wahoo trainers, in TR, when connected via Bluetooth (BLE).
