Why Trainer Difficulty IS NOT Virtual Gearing - Zwift

This is a follow-up video to a Trainer difficulty video I published about a year ago. I mentioned that a lot of folks call trainer difficulty virtual gearing but didn't really deep dive into WHY it isn't virtual gearing. This video talks more specifically about the algorithm and why it makes the analogy to virtual gearing inaccurate and could send people down the wrong path. *********I am going to state it here in black and white for those who will be quick to challenge this video based on repeated talking points, repeated from my last video: TRAINER DIFFICULTY DOES NOT IMPACT SPEED IN THE GAME. So before you try to straw man my position, that is not what I have presented here. ********* Check out the original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-SCvlE4kOs&t=2s Check out this research paper outlining the effects of crank inertial load for the actual science behind the phenomenon I discuss in this video: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download;jsessionid=E70EB1FC38EFED01A0380572F1F9E529?doi=10.1.1.198.8651&rep=rep1&type=pdf If you have any comments or questions, as always, leave them below.
