You can't. You set the trainer to a Resistance level and then use gears to get to appropriate power/cadence.

Isn’t the idea to keep the same resistance and use your gears?

Can’t do Max effort blocks in erg mode is the problem.
You start sprinting, and the erg mode cuts out the resistance to bring you to the ‘target’ watts.
Looks like you hit the targets pretty well, but not max efforts.
In normal mode, you do like real life on a flat road, you select a higher gear on your bike and ramp up the RPM.

Sufferfest workout last night - violator (how apt) - it recommended to use level instead of ERG mode, I had a look & wondered how the fuck I was supposed to keep up manually adjusting for those intervals so I just left it on ERG to see how it would cope, seemed ok - the intervals were 5/10/15 sec max effort blocks with varying recovery & i'm wondering if i'm missing something obvious?
How can you go from 5sec 100w @ 90rpm recovery to 5sec 500+ @ 110rpm in the space of a couple of seconds manually adjusting the resistance? Or am I stupid?
