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.
