The wheel circumference for your Direto "speed sensor" shall be set to 173 mm in the sensor details on your F5X. Then you will gett "correct" speed and distance values on your watch.…

This is even more important when you use ERG mode.
Once Garmin does not have an option to calculate power based speed (for an indoor activity) either or trainers manufactures should broadcast it or Garmin should allow True up from files coming from Zwfit, Sufferfest, and others.

No app (Zwift, Sufferfest, etc) brodcast any signal.

They come from sensors installed in the bike or from the trainers.

as far 130mph reading should be a spike or some interference.

Elite suggests that set 190mm in wheel circunference. http://forum.elite-it.com/viewtopic.php?f=34&t=294

I agree with that figure tho' it's hard to figure out why it's such a small number.

My f5 still under reads the power tho'.
