Gravat 2 ERG issues

Equipment
1

Hi,

I live in China, so bought a Gravat 2 smart trainer from Magene, and their Ridge power meter, both of which I use with TR. I’ve heard of other people here having similar issues with the Gravat 2 and TR. They prompted me to make this post.

When using ERG with TR it tends to overcompensate or something and I end up having to yo-yo up and down. I’ve been trying my hardest to ignore my power and keep a steady cadence, but it just doesn’t seem to work well.

I don’t have the same issue with Zwift, so I assume it’s TR and this trainer that don’t work well together. Zwift seems to have more smoothing than TR, so maybe the trainer itself has a lot of delay and the reduced smoothing on TR makes it more noticeable.

Is there anything I can try to mitigate this?

Here is a workout I did with this trainer.

Here are a couple I found posted on the forum from other users. It’s possible they weren’t using ERG mode, but one said they were using a Hammer, so I assume at least one was.
