I know you are on a dumb trainer with power meter, but do you know if the Lezyne when the workout is loaded, does it control a smart trainer as a garmin does?

A good mate purchased a Kickr Core, and he has generously allowed me to test if the Mega C can control the Kickr. Will give feedback in the next few days.

The unit pairs to both FE-C and the Kickr’s power meter under sensor pairing, but is doesn’t control the power from a workout created in TP.

 

Not sure I’m doing anything wrong, as it’s quite a simple process, but the resistance remained the same for the entire workout.

Looks like it pairs and will record the power from the kickr but not control it.

Recording is like a normal ride. As long as it records it’s fine. Maybe one day there will be a firmware update that allows the control. Edited by Frosty

This would be great. Perhaps an email to Lezyne CC to see whether it's on the cards.

If more people do this, we gain traction, and hopefully see an update (or a response if it's on their radar).

I think the way my Lezyne Mega XL calculates the elevation is way off:

 

The ride with the Mega XL:

  • 190W
    Estimated Avg Power
  •  
  • 2,563kJ
    Energy Output
Show More
  Avg Max Speed 23.4km/h 39.6km/h Elapsed Time 4:07:42

 

 

The ride with a Garmin Edge 200:

  • 87.93km
    Distance
  •  
  • 3:45:55
     Moving Time
  •  
  • 376m
    Elevation
  Avg Max Speed 23.4km/h 46.1km/h Elapsed Time 4:09:39

 

The route I created with Komoot Tours has a climb of 280m.  The time and distace of the three is quite close.

Do you upload your rides to the Lezyne Root site?

They have an elevation correction feature similar to Garmin Connect. Also, make sure you give the unit time to calibrate the barometer before you start riding.

I upload directly from my GPS via Bluetooth to my phone and Strava.
