Bug - using Bontrager Duotrap cadence sensor

I am impressed by how much the terrain/wind feed back into the feel of the training. I like it very much more than Zwift. My power reporting seems much more realistic.

I found two things, though, that I think you may want to look at.

  1. I paired my Bontrager Duotrap 2 with the platform. While it paired and looked like it was going to work, I got zeros for cadence in my reporting. This is very much like when I tried to pair my Duotrap 2 with my Garmin Edge 530 as a Cadence sensor and not as a Speed/Cadence sensor.

  2. When I was not able to successfully use the Duotrap, I restarted the workout and used the cadence sensor on the Wahoo Kickr. Using Zwift this reports cadence well enough. When going uphill I dropped cadence to match the workout power targets. The reported cadence would take a long time to come back up to what I knew I was doing in cadence. An example would be I would drop cadence to around 50 to 60 RPM. It could have been as low as 40 RPM, but when I picked the cadence back up it continued to report 40 RPM for quite some time. I tried a similar workout in Zwift today to see if this occurs on both platforms, but with similar conditions on Zwift I did not see the same thing.

    I believe the second issue I posted is NOT TrainingPeaks Virtual related. I believe it is the cadence estimated and reported from the Wahoo KICKR.

    Using the Garmin Rally pedals in the hills yesterday I had no issue with the cadence not being reported correctly.

    However, the Duotrap sensor still fails to show anything but zero for cadence. This may be related to how the sensor is being added to the receiver (TPV). When I pair the sensor to my Garmin head unit, it gives me the option to either pair it as a cadence sensor or as a speed/cadence sensor. If I pair it as a cadence sensor, it reports zero for cadence. If I pair it as a speed/cadence sensor, it correctly reports cadence.

    I rode on the TrainingPeaks Virtual platform this afternoon I used Garmin Rally pedals for my cadence sensor and the application correctly tracked the cadence even when dropping the cadence to around 50 then raising it back again.
