Has Zwift considered offering a “granny gear” to older riders or others who may need hill climbing assistance? The function would work similar to the power boost received from drafting. I’m 73 years old and new to Zwift. I’m finding that some of the steeper grades can be a bit overwhelming. Accordingly, a “gear” over and above what my cassette provides to assist with hill climbing would be appreciated. The “gear” would be an option that, IF I deem it to be needed, would be chosen on screen and make the incline a bit easier to negotiate.
If you lower the trainer difficulty setting it will be similar to having lower gearing. If you set it to 0 you can spin like on the flats.

Thank you, Aaron, I wasn’t aware of that option. I’ve changed my settings to make riding a bit easier while I get myself geared up on my new trainer. Very helpful. Thx again.
