Is it necessary or optimal to ride the trainer for some time before calibrating in TrainerRoad? When calibrating in Zwift, they say do so after 10 minutes. I don’t see any sort of instruction like that when calibrating through the iOS app.

I was thinking that very thing, I have been calibrating every workout on my kickr at 7 to 10min in. I always want to mention that I wasn’t wussing out!

Question, when I look at devices, I see direto on ant + and DI on Bluetooth. Since I can’t use ant + is the DI the right one to select to do spin down within the app? Thanks

Bryce, Thanks. I’m sure this is the Direto now. I disassociated the pairing and then re-paired at which point the TR app brought up “Elite Direto”. The thing I need to do I guess is the 12.1 divisor for the wheel circumference to get the speed to read correctly. So here’s the problem, Elite no lon…

I just changed from a Tacx to a Direto and mine shows up as DI, anyway i did my first ride last night. I calibrated mine in the trainer road desktop app (which only asks to spin up to 17km/h… which was very strange). I had 2 big issues. If i paused the workout, it would jam full resistance on re…

I use a Kickr and always do a spin down after the warm up. I’ve never had a problem continuing the workout. The only problem I could see with doing a spin down at the end of your workout, ready for the next, would be if the ambient air temp changed. Air temp can have an impact on calibration.

thanks @mcneese.chad @mikethg i calibrated after 10 minutes into the work out, so i thought it should have been bang on, after it locked up from the 1st pause i calibrated again but that didn’t help. It was still stuck on max resistance. It only came right when i disconnected and reconnected the t…

I’ve zoomed into a set so you can see how much “yo-yoing” the power did, despite how consistent my cadence was. [46%20PM]
