Big ring, middle of the cassette for efforts but do move it around if my cadence is dropping, I'm getting out of the saddle for a bit or one gear is making more noise than another. I can throw power down in a pretty wide cadence range so it's not much of an issue. Might tweak head unit setting a bit to adjust watts up/down if I'm feeling frisky/fucked.

Yeah, bigger gears feel smoother, but if your cadence drops, sometimes Herculean effort to get back up to cadence

Am I the only one that bothers with gears using ERG mode? I've found in really small gears ERG is more reactive, but road feel is worse / feels like riding through mud. Bigger gears and the overall inertia of the system feels a lot more like riding flat, less effort through the deadspots, but the ERG mode seems to react more slowly.
I've settled for small ring middle of the cassette as the best balance, but I'll go up or down a couple of gears depending on how I'm feeling and what I want out of the session.
In writing this I've realised i haven't touched my turbo in 8 months. Happy days.
For reference, Elite Direto. Other turbos may behave completely different.
