I used TrainerDay successfully for over a year now. But recently it stopped being able to control resistance properly. It just goes to maximum resistance with any ERG setting. I didn’t change any settings. I’ve even had it happen in the middle of a ride where it will start off working fine, then I pause to use the restroom and I come back and it does this odd behavior.
I thought it was my smart trainer so I went out and bought a new smart trainer (by a different manufacturer). It does the same thing with the new trainer. Has anybody else had this problem? I’ve tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it. It still does it.
No one reports this that I know of, but I know as cadence gets very low some trainers compensate by increasing resistance a lot. Some apps start out with very low power target and build it up slowly. We should enhance our app to do this but since I never hear of people with this issue I have not prioritized it. We should not have changed any thing that affected this but you never know.
If you used to have it in a smaller gear on your bike and now have it on a bigger gear, it could make this much worse.
