Color change 'Speedometer'

[juergen55]

Hi,
the color of the data displayed in the 'speedometer' (real time display, in the data display 3) is usually green.
Why or when the data changes color to red. Depends on with my dropouts?

It changes color to reddish when the speed goes virtual. It depends on your grade reduction settings. You can read about it in details in user guide.

speedometer changes the color according to the grade.

Speed changes colour when the wheel speed is either faster or slower then the reported speed on the display. But you need a Lynx I think or perhaps a Ant+ wheel speed sensor to see the colours change to red from Green. It also lets you know that the gears you are using to climb a particular hill may not be the same as those that you need in real life. All indoor trainers will have some limit to their ability to replicate a real road. For some like say a Tacx Vortex Smart the limit will be about a 6-7% grade climbing & all descents, the Lynx can go right up to 20% & possibly more....(If you have solid titanium knees) but on descents it will go virtual after -3% to keep the speeds more realistic & allow you to still spin your highest gears enough to get a workout. Most Lynx users will use the grade reduction settings to give your self some extra "virtual gears" which mean you will still climb at your regular speed at the same effort but you will simply use a higher cadence. If you do not have a Lynx but still find the hills hard then use the grade reduction slider to fine tune the feeling & cadence when climbing..

Remember the hills will still require the same effort but this tool can make climbing less of a weight training exercise...if you do the real thing remember to take low enough gears to enjoy it!
