Hi, first: The trainer works okay, i made my peace with the remaining issues. Still, here is the list - any ideas / updates? My Direto XR is controlled via a Garmin Edge 840 via ANT+ 1. Very high resistance when starting a workout (ERG mode) --> maybe a Garmin bug? Support said it's "normal&quo...

My trainer has only just started doing this after being fine for many months. It's when I start a training plan/module - it will remain at way past my FTP and it won't come right unless I pause/restart the ride 2-3 times (using the companion app in Rouvy).

i upgraded from a Direto (first generation) but i regret it

according to Elite support (19.07.2020) there is no strict limit: "A difference of +/- 7/8 points is completely normal unless you don't notice something wrong with your trainer. I suggest you to keep using your trainer without any worries and to contact us if you notice some problems with your ...

Feature-wise both trainers (Direto and Tacx Flux) are rather similar while the Diretos powermeter is more accurate. If you want to have a more detailed comparison you should check out the reviews at DC Rainmaker. One isue: Elite basically doesn't release software updates. For example, the old Direto...
