Setting resistance level in Rouvy during workout

Equipment
1

Hello,

I am trying the new integration TR/Rouvy to do my workouts inside the Rouvy app.

I don’t like ERG mode so I usually disable it.

Once disabled inside Rouvy I do not have the a slider or setting to change the trainer resistance.

In TR I would change it in such a way that when I am big ring, middle cog I am about sweet spot intensity.

Is resistance mode in Rouvy locked to a pre-set resistance?’

Found the answer asking to Rouvy AI bot:

In ROUVY, turning ERG mode off works slightly differently than in TrainerRoad. ROUVY does not currently feature a manual resistance slider for workouts.

When you switch ERG mode OFF during a workout:

  • Your trainer automatically defaults to simulating a steady 1% slope.
  • You adjust your resistance and power output manually by shifting gears on your bike and changing your cadence, rather than moving an in-app resistance slider.

This is not nice because you are forced to a specific ring/cog combination depending on power and preferred cadence, and you might run out of gears.

Rouvy suggests to use virtual gears as alternative.
