Re: Square brackets

I don't suppose it matters really, but I would like to understand this better. With grade reduction set 0-20%, the real grade versus feels like is green on flattish sections, but when I start a climb of say 8% it goes yellow and show feels like as 1-2% less than real grade. Is this basically becaus...

Re: Square brackets

I did a ride with my new settings, and noticed that the 'feels like' grade was now higher than before, but still 1-2% below the 'real road grade'. The spec for my trainer claims it's able to simulate 20% gradient, although I wonder if this might only apply to when it's used with the Bkool software....

Re: Newbie questions (connectivity and turbo trainer itself)

Just to add to previous answers................I use SportTracks and load up my VeloReality data easily; it includes all the data you get on a real ride (yes, even the map!), plus all the power data. I use my HR monitor strap (ANT+) that I have for my Garmin Edge. I dumped my Tacx trainer, and softw...

User Manual
