That link is just to a post I made in a game update thread, it wasn’t really related to the resistance. I just think that there must be something amiss there, because there’s no reason at all why it should start trying to interact via Bluetooth on my setup. When I actually had the resistance go in reverse like you have, it was when I disconnected my HRM (from ANT+) and I’m almost certain I had the Companion app running. These days I just leave the app alone until I know my devices are paired and working, which seems fine. Again, not directly related to your setup and problem, just thought I’d mention it because it seems related IMO.
Here’s the thread where flipped resistance was discussed: Gradients reversed
