Speed/Distance on smart trainer (Elite Drivo)

Former Member over 8 years ago

Hey guys,

I connected the Elite Drivo Smart Trainer to a 735XT, but have some issues with the recorded speed on my 735XT. The speed is way too high. According to the Garmin I'm riding at 35km/h even at lowest efforts. E.g. it recorded an average speed of 69km/h in my last workout. I connected Drivo's "Spd/Cad" and "Power" sensors to the 735XT. Also I tried different settings in the Wheel Size Option (i.e Manual and Auto), but unfortunately without success.

Did anyone experience similar issues and knows how to adjust this?
Thanks a lot!

Found the solution! :)
Somewhere in Drivo's manual they state you have to divide wheel circumference by 3.46 when not using Elite app/software (and this is the case for the 735xt).
Thus, wheel size needs to be set to 605.

What size is your normal wheel? It should say it on the tyre, something like 700c x 25. You then look it up in a table like this https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/vivosmart/EN-US/GUID-DB0BC20A-DADF-41EB-A61C-14BEC158B43C.html

and put that in as a manual value eg 2105 for a 622mm diameter 25mm wide tyre.

Hi, hoping you guys might be able to assist with my issue.

I have the Elite Direto and I am having issues with speed on the 735xt. I have set the wheel at 2096 (700x23c) as stated on the Garmin Size & Circumference table. My watch has my 45min FTP test speed at an average of 129.5km/h.....how I wish I could cycle at that speed. I am looking for any advice on how to remedy this issue as I am extremely frustrated at the moment and there seems to be nothing online to assist me.

Thanks
