VO2Max, cycling dynamics (L/R Balance vs. Power)

Former Member over 3 years ago

Hi Garmin & Fellow Forums readers,

I ride the Neo bike through the Tacx App using the videos etc. Then ride when finishes, it uploads to GC just fine, and I see where I ride (map) I have avg speed, Meters climbed, Power, Heart rate from HRM Dual, it also does the Load and whether its Base, Recovery, Tempo, Unproductive etc. so far all good.

However

1. In the description of the bike, It clearly states that not only does the bike measure power, but it should also provide a basic form of cycling dynamics (L/R) balance. But all I get is total watts.

2. VO2Max Cycling is completely ignored. From my understanding it needs Heart rate, Power measuring.

Why is this not working?

Cheers, William

Did you ever figure this out?

Hello, yes, that's how I see it. A few times even VO2max was displayed. 
Since yesterday there is not even the training status. The heart rate is 
of course measured with a belt. Power and heart rate are recorded. 
With the transfer from TACX to Garmin Connect, some things seem to no longer / still not work.

Well, this past week VO2Max gave 2 readings, and this happened when I did 2 very high intensity rides. Rides in BASE don't seem to give a result, maybe this is something to do with Heart Rate needing to be continuously elevated for a longer Period of time during the ride for VO2 Max to calculate.... I will keep experimenting.
