I’m using Toorx SRX-500 indoor bike and sometimes I’d like to avoid the automatic resistance changing in ERG mode, and just set to a specific RESISTance to just ride without having any target Watts / RPM or anything.
I think that is what RESIST mode is for which you can turn on/off in Options > Slim / Slope mode.
My issue is that in RESIST mode nothing happens when I try to increase or decrease the resistance of the bike.
This works in other apps (Kinomap/TrainerRoad/Wahoo); in TR amd Wahoo I can even use the physical buttons on the bike, which is a really nice touch.
It feels when I change the mode from ERG to RESIST, it just locks the TARGET WATT and still tries to automatically adjust the resistance to match that.
App is running on an iPhone SE
The sensor is recognized as: TOORX0119
Whatever I set the percentage nothing changes, the Load on the bike (resistance) stays the same
Try slope mode. Turn that setting off so instead of resist it says slope. It’s basically the same as resist but rather than 1-100% it is 1-20%. Some trainers don’t support resistance mode. Slope mode is more universally supported.
Maybe I’m doing something wrong, but in Slope mode the app automatically adjust the resistance of the bike if I slow down or speed up.
That is why I’ve changed it to RESISTance mode as I wanted to set a “fix” resistance no matter what.
But for Slope mode:
Is there an option where I can just set the app to not adjust the resistance automatically?
I’ve managed to do this in the other 3 apps so I guess the trainer is capable to do this.
Like just set it and forget it.
That’s not how slope mode works on any other trainer. Slope mode works just like resistance mode. Resistance should stay the same regardless of how you pedal just like going up a hill outdoors, slow down it gets easier (less power).
Our app should not be different than other apps in this regard. It’s a mode of the trainer we say do 1% and it should be 1%. If resistance mode does not work maybe your trainer does not use a standard protocol but other software supports your trainer directly or the protocol it uses. Could be true with slope mode as well but if up/down work in slope mode then it should really be the same as other apps.
I see they say kinomap supports it, but that is because kinomap supports every trainer under the sun… That is one of their specialties. We only support a few of the popular standard protocols.
