Although I use Erg mode for most of my sessions, it would make more sense to use Resistance mode for the FTP test. Your thoughts on this ,please, anyone who has done a few of these. I find Erg mode a bit strange , and dont like the feel it takes over. Sometimes when Im spinning in an easy /tempo session, it takes over and I spin faster and faster and the watts go way higher than I`m meant to be riding at. I am getting used to it but need some advice for the test
Thanks. I think I will experiment a bit with these and do the 20 minute one in erg mode and the ramp test on my free day 3 days later. I won`t be totally fresh , but I did my last one 6 weeks ago (not on TR) and had a bit of a cold virus , and it is very rare that I am fresh anyway(unless the days before an A Race)
I don’t think anyone is recommending you do this - you should use slope or resistance mode for the 20 minute test
Many thanks, I’m giving it a go tomorrow
Yes, you`re right. I ve just done the 20 minute FTP test and it automatically goes into slope mode.
Going to update the info .
