Perceived exertion varies when in different gears

Yes, gearing in ERG matters and affects the feel.

The rule of thumb is to try to match the flywheel inertia to the majority of your events.

  • Flat and Fast Road Riding = Use Higher Bearing and Faster Flywheel Inertia
  • Hilly and Off-Road = Use Lower Gearing and Slower Flywheel Inertia
