How do I setup my trainer for more precise simulations?
Trainer Weight Setup
For precise simulations, configure rider weight (your weight as input in your athlete profile) + bike weight (your bike's weight as input in your bike profile) in your trainer's app. Best Bike Split handles grade/wind/drag, but weight must match on the trainer side.
Trainer-specific Weight Setup Instructions
Wahoo KICKR: Wahoo app > Sensors > Weight
Tacx NEO: Garmin Connect/Tacx app > User Profile
Elite Direto: My E-Training app > Settings > Weight
Saris H3: Rouvy/TrainerRoad app > Profile Weight
Calibrate Your Trainer
For best results, please calibrate via spin-down before each session (most require a 10-minute warmup). This ensures accurate power and resistance matching the FTP from your athlete profile.
