Thats OK, its just I have seen lots of the more expensive ones say 15% and wanted to understand the difference but its just how much resistance they apply then, so if it only applies resistance equivalent to 7% then I can just change gear to match the required power output. I understand it won't have me in the same position as climbing
Gradient doesn't mean anything when you're static. It'll increase the resistance artificially but won't replicate climbing in any way whatsoever.
