Just switched from a tacx blue twist (classic without zpower) to a kurt kinetic road machine.
Now that im usinz zpower, my watts are jumping around like crazy.
With the blue twist, i could stay consistent within 5 watts, with zpower, it jumps around 20-40 watts +/-
Is this a common issue? Settings? Its driving me crazy! Finally broke 700 watts, but its not worth it if its inconsistent during workouts.
help!
Hi Matt,
zPower on trainers like the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine or CycleOps Fluid 2 take acceleration into account. Additionally, these fluid trainers behave differently from the Mag Blue Twist you were using previously.
It’ll be a combination of turning on 3-second smoothing in your Settings menu and adjusting how you ride. Additionally, make sure your speed sensor is properly aligned and that the ANT+ adapter is close to your sensors (though I am assuming both of these are already like this).
Hey Eric! Ill try the 3 second smoothing and see what happens
my ant+ Adapter is about a foot away from my sensors. Im using the Garmin speed/Cadence so no alignment is necessary.
I’ll report back tonight!
