Hi,
I tried changing the wheel circumference in the Wahoo app while simultaneously riding in Rouvy and this does the trick indeed. I can offset gearing range this way as you mentioned. It's great that it reacts in real time to the adjustments, so it's easy to fine tune the resistance.

It is actually a problem that my friend has. We tried doing same climb on Rouvy: around 5% grade, I rode on a medium gear (34 front, 18 rear), my friend was on his easiest gear (34 front, 32 rear). I was producing 130W with cadence 80 maintaining low speed, around 8kph. My friend on the lightest gear was incapable of continuing with me, because he had to produce more than 300W with a very low cadence just to keep up with me. Strange, as we both have Wahoo Kickr Core, same firmware, same Rouvy version.

Have you tried calibrating your trainer?

Here is a link to the ROUVY page where it is all described.

I might be remembering the speed incorrectly. My setup mimics real world perfectly in Rouvy and I enjoy it. It's my friend's setup that has problems - even a small grade climb in Rouvy makes it impossible for him to climb even at the easiest gear. What matters, it looks like he isn't the only one that has such a problem and I found a workaround solution for him to use wheel circumference adjustment as a way of adjusting gear range in Rouvy. Someone else might find it helpful.
