I think the problem is that the Kickr takes about two seconds to get to the actual power target.
So you're saying there should be no change until the interval starts or ends.
Other users are saying the change should be complete when the interval starts or ends.
I personally don't mind it either way and I see both side's points. Would you be happy if we put in a setting for this?
It's not a bad idea, because some trainers like the power beam pro take a really long time to ramp up. You could even have that ramp up 5 seconds before. CT takes a bit longer than a Kickr too.
Another +1 for a setting. I really notice the early ramp up/ramp down of the power on my Computrainer.
Just to further complicate things, I don't particularly mind the power starting to ramp up early so that I'm at the target power at the beginning of an interval but it bugs me that it starts to ramp down early thereby shortening the interval by a few seconds. So *I'd* love to see a setting where the early ramping only occurs when the required power is going to go up but waits until the current interval reaches 0 remaining time if the power is going to go down. Perhaps as two separate settings such as:
Interval start time lead-in: XX seconds (user could set to "2")
Interval end time lead-in: XX seconds (user could set to "0")
But I fully admit that this is more than likely too complicated and is most certainly not that user-friendly.
