Hi Guys,
I am still having a few issues with getting the right metrics from my turbo sessions to view online.
I have recently purchased a Turbo Muin Smart B+ Trainer, which is a direct drive trainer. I user TrainerRoad to create my training sessions and TrainerRoad/ Garmin to capture my performance metrics. I then use Strava to collate my running and cycling training.
TrainerRoad is picking up the power reading from the turbo trainer but either no distance metrics or seemingly random spikes for a second or two (during my latest FTP test it said i cycled .85 miles in the entire 1 hour program) on Strava/ Garmin.
Elite have said the tcx file (see attached) is producing the information, but it isn't being picked up by my Garmin or TrainerRoad, they have subsequently said they can't help...
Also, I know that power is king and I shouldn't be looking at my distance. But it would be nice to know.
Thanks in advance!

I have a turbo muin. Not the factory smart version, but the regular Muin with the Misuro B+ unit installed.
First things first, check the wheel circumference setting in TrainerRoad and on your Garmin. I don't recall the correct value off the top of my head, but it's not hard to find online.
I don't know if the transmitter in the smart turbo needs to be set to the right model like a Misuro B does. Check this, again, can't recall the correct number of flashes needed, but it's somewhere online.
I found there was a bit of a clash/difficulty when I was receiving both BT and ANT+ on the phone/tablet. Turned off the BT, worked fine.
Most importantly: the distance/speed figures it pours out bear no resemblance to what you'd do on the road for similar efforts. They're only comparable with each other, not real world riding. For example, 90 minutes at an average of 210 Watts apparently translates to about 15 miles...0
