Trainer and modes
Simulation feels very hard
In simulation, resistance may change because of gradient, weight, speed, or configuration. It does not behave like ERG.
Recommended steps
- Check that you are in simulation mode and not ERG.
- Review the gradient or route used.
- Shift gears as you would outdoors.
- Do not expect fixed power: you regulate the effort.
- If hardness never changes, review trainer control.
- Try a simple session to compare.
