Not sure what my issue is.
I’m a C rider. I got bored of the group rides and did a few weeks of GCN videos from you tube with zwift running to log the data and tell me my cadence, etc. It gave me at least one FTP bump.
Now I’m getting dropped or struggling more on rides I used to slightly outpace the beacon. Same with Coco, I struggled to catch up in the 5 second window and restarted it. But I almost never got out of green at the bottom.
The only thing I can think of (other than I’m a slob,) is that the FTP bump makes the system think I can do more.
Or the trainer is out of calibration. I’ve never had success with that.
Your FTP will not affect your experience in the game at all in the way you describe. It just sets your zones for workouts. It must be calibration, unless you got less fit
It’s a road Cannondale on a Kinetic trainer.
I looked and found and old thread where apparently I had a similar issue and recalibrated it. So maybe I just need to do that. And remember my prior issues!
Do you calibrate for every ride?
I have a Kinetic too and I find that it is very sensitive to tire pressure and room temp.
I Zwift in the garage so the temp tends to fluctuate depending on weather.
No, I probabaly should. Mine’s the basement so it’s cool but a stable temperature and since I don’t take the bike outside much this time of year, it’s pretty much get on and ride. After fighting the connections and WiFi.
