Direto, simulate larger chain rings ?..

Postby jackyjoy123 » Thu Dec 17, 2020 4:20 pm

Hello,

The bike I have on my Direto has 50/34 front chain rings and I'm using a 11/28 cassette. So on flat zwift routes I'm almost exclusively using 50-11. Is there any way to adjust the Direto settings such that the overall resistance increases? I'd like to avoid wearing out my 11 ring, and often I feel like the cadence is too high when on 50-11 (I'm a slow pedaler:)).

I should probably switch to larger chain rings, but they're expensive. Also, 50/34 is perfect for me in the "real" world. I don't think this is a setting in Zwift.


thanks

Isn't there some settings in Zwift to specify your weight and your bike weight? I do not use Zwift but maybe it will instruct your Direto to apply more resistance in order to simulate the higher power output a rider would need to produce with a heavier body/bike.

I wonder how slowly you turn the crank.
At 50/11 and a cadence of e.g. 80 on a flat, a good several hundred watts are generated.

Learn to spin faster, your knees will be grateful to you.
