New to Zwift (Hub), trouble with MTB setup and resistance

Zwift Shop Zwift Equipment

Hi @Craig_Smallman,

@Roberto_Viola is right, I have played around with the settings a bit and currently I use the following setup in his app:

  • I only visualize the 'Watts" and the ‘Gears’ tile

  • The Watts tile is just to check if it matches reasonable numbers / the onscreen display

  • The Gears setting allows you to adjust your gearing.
    I found a setting between 4 and 8 to work best; I initially worried that this might be “cheating” Zwift, but as it seems power / Watts is what’s counting (also for the speed value you see in Zwift) and those values remain untouched.

The Gears tile just ‘increases’ your gearing so that you can put in more effort on the straights, e.g. with a typical MTB gearing.

Let me know if you want to discuss this further!

@Roberto_Viola: It seems that I have to readjust the setting in the Gears tile each time I start the app / a new Zwift session. Any chance of having that setting to be persisting?
