MudMeanderer 3 Apr 11:56am, 3 Apr 2025 2,737 posts	Quote Pin MudMeanderer I mix up erg and non-erg. I used predominantly non-erg for a while, but switched to occasionally having it on. I think it was something in an Alex Dowsett article on his hour records that motivated it. He described how the track made him realise just how many micro rests you get on the road in TTs. It doesn't exactly match, but it made me think I could get something out of deliberately riding some threshold efforts in erg to avoid that natural over-under effect, and force constantly keeping over the gear. I know the likes of Andrew Feather also swears by erg mode, probably to learn to not ease off when it gets stupidly painful at the end of a hill climb.

MudMeanderer 3 Apr 2:55pm, 3 Apr 2025 2,738 posts	Quote Pin MudMeanderer It's think it's that aspect I'm focusing on with erg - when I'm on the limit, I find myself searching for a non-existent gear (16.4T sprocket anyone?) and some magical optimal cadence, such that I'm changing gear every couple of seconds. I realised I just need to teach my muscles and brain to accept being slightly off that optimum and deal with it.
