I went from 290 to 310. Last test was maybe in mid November last year? But I did not enough riding at all
Pretty sure the recommended way was small ring, straight chain. I rarely use the small ring on the road anyways
Also, I'm getting old, so every test I expect a start to a slow but sure decline
Netakure-
I have a 1x with a 56T at the front, ride in the middle of the block at the back for a straight chain line.
There is plenty of discussion, but in general, a hard gear will be slightly easier as the flywheel has more momentum so you can have micro rests. The little ring is more like riding up a hill, so if you ease up it’s more noticeable.
I can definitely tell the difference so I make sure I stick to the same gear for all my turbo workouts.

How much of an increase and when was the last test?
I normally run in the biggest gear combo that still has a decent chainline. So big ring and kinda mid-block. Should have the least wear/noise in the driveline then.
