Riding at 110 mph on the Elite Direto

Sunk
over 4 years ago

I have a Garmin 530 (new to me) and paired it to my trainer (reads power as one sensor and cadence/ speed as another sensor - both ant+) and it reads the speeds at 60+ miles an hour, even on steep climbs.  I have set to use the smart wheel size and tried it with the manual size of 2096 and am still riding at times at 110mph.  Seems the only way it works if I manually enter the wheel size at 0210.  Cadence and power reading seem to be correct. Btw, zwiift has no problem reading the correct speed.  On a side note, it will read my trainer through the BT connection for the cadence only.  It won't pick up speed.

    Per Elite:

    "

    - if you use my e-training app or software, you have to set the real circumference value of your wheel (for example, 2100mm)
    - if you use a non-elite app or device (like Garmin), you have to divide the circumference value by 12.1 (for example, 2100/12.1= 173mm)

    FYI: your Zwift's speed and the speed on your Garmin wont match perfectly (even with the good 173mm setting). The reason: the Garmin is recording your Direto's disc wheel speed and the Zwift is CALCULATING your speed from your power/weight/terrain/CdA. Unfortunately the Zwift (or any other app) is not sending back the ingame speed as "speed" (or there is not an option in firmware or setting, so instead of disc speed), in this case the 2 speed values (and distances) would be the same. Maybe in the near future , who knows...

    Thanks guys for that.  That solved (mostly) the issue.  Appreciate your help with it.
