Why us speed readout sometimes in blue?

[martin22]

Normally the speed display is in white but sometimes it shows in blue. Anyone know what this means?

Loving the trainer, only done 2 sessions so far but so much better than my old one.

The software uses your weight (input in your profile), power and cadence in conjunction with the % grade slope to work out your speed. When it works out that your speed should be higher/lower than the actual wheel speed it shows a speed in blue.

I suffer from this, because of my weight, in a big way. The max resistance the trainer can apply has problems simulating slope when the weight is >80kg and/or >10% slope. It is still very hard to turn over the peddles so you get a good workout.

I have used my Garmin Edge 1000 connected to the cadence and speed sensor on my bike in some Bkool sessions. It is my impression that the numbers turn blue when the data is offline i.e. not continously updated. I can see the changes on the Edge 1000 while the Bkool blue numbers seems to freeze or respond slower.
