My partner and I ride together frequently. We both have the same trainers - Elite Suito and the same power pedals - Assioma. She’s connected to her Ipad directly with BT. I’m using laptop and Zwift Companion to connect. Here’s the issue:
When ever she gets on any kind of a sustained hill her power begins to dip up and down. She’ll be holding 260 Watts and then suddenly down to 120 for 4-5 seconds. She’s a strong rider who can put herself into QOM with some frequency but these dropouts are killing her. It’s only on the hills.
I looked at her power files and the pedals aren’t dropping.
I’m having no problems with my set up.
Any ideas?

maybe the trainer is overheating? Some users have found they need a fan just for their trainer so it doesn’t overheat.
I wonder how I would test that out?
It’s pretty cold where we are and we’re out in our garage. So it’s usually 4-6 (40-44) degrees ambient.
But it’d be easy to just pop a fan on there and see if it helps! Thanks.
Hey, I have this same issue. Only on climbs! I don’t have an answer. If I do 3 ADZ climbs it might only do it on 1.
I’m using a TACX neo and iPad.
Did you manage to find a solution mate ?
Cheers
We never did. And now neither of us are riding much indoors as the temps have been record high in BC.
Come the fall we’ll be dealing with again, I’m sure.
