How is the Cycleops Hammer working out for you?
Eh... not so good.. I kind of prefer my older Power Beam Pro...
When I use zwift in workout ERG mode... if I can't hold the power because I'm tired or not as focused, it becomes almost impossible to bring it back to ERG mode. For example, if the workout says 250 watts and I drop out cause I can't keep up, trying to start from dead 0 with the resistance set is extremely difficult. I thought

"Nice feature with the Hammer that is often not mentioned, when you stop mid ride at a set wattage, or virtual course, it allows you to gradually build up to the wattage you left off at. Imagine doing VO2 intervals at 500 watts, and need to stop quickly then start pedalling from a dead stop at 500 Watts of resistance... "
However, that simply is not the case that I've experience, or zwift has just programmed it wrong.. I find it 50% of the time I can get back to my ERG workout with some work and sometimes its next to impossible (I might try 3-4 times before I quit the workout).. The wheel pedal is so hard after about 2-3 strokes, I cant even get it to move. I never had this problem on the powerbeam pro (but I did have other problems :) ).
