Is there any actual hope this is going to be addressed or removed at any point in the near future? Other platforms are actively combatting this whilst Zwift sit on their hands. WTRL have hinted this is being looked at, but who knows if there is any accuracy to what they say.
Thats a peak 900w and minimum of 0 watts for those looking closely.
So, anything going to be done this year to resolve these issues?
Obviously it would be super simple to just change the 3s timeout to 1s and sticky watts would not exist anymore. However, this would cause problems with low cadence (< 60 rpm). Changing the timeout to 2s would nerf sticky watts and would still allow rpm > 40 and could work as a quick fix.
An optimal solution would be to have the timeout dynamically adjusted based on cadence (higher timeout when doing lower rpm), but this can be potentially exploited (e.g. by using the smart trainer as cadence sensor and not the pm, etc.).
I love the optimism.
Give people an “at least my mum is proud” achievement and put a clown emoji on their avatar + name in lists.
Where did you source this highly specific information?
