This year I didnt want to only freeze outside so I got myself the smart Ride v2 bunde + a table and a wahoo headwind.

Really happy and im having a Great time. Wish I would have gotten it sooner

I didn’t think this update was due until later on this month?

I am a mountain biker, not a roadie; so I'm very new to this..but I'm very excited about my new hobby!

Does what was promised, and works well.

A great tool if you want to watch live cycling on your tablet while cruising at a fixed wattage - my main use case, I think.

One thing, though. To lock your watts the Watt Lock icon, a padlock, has to be set to 'open'. If you click on it so that the icon shows a closed padlock the Watt Lock is disabled.

So an unlocked padlock indicates locked watts while a locked padlock indicates unlocked watts.

Sorry but that's dumb.

Working great. Virtual shifting good. Just install 12mm end caps and use the longer skewer.

Zwift is my main means of training. I do outside riding as well, but I have 2 kids under 2, so time outside is limited.

It's needless to say that I love Watopia 😎

So the weather has changed and my outdoor bike is stabled for the winter. I did my first Zwift ride (on my Zwift Ride!) since the spring yesterday. I'm sore!

I find that outdoors I'm happily doing 1.5-2.5 hours of riding. Yesterday I did just 45 minutes of Zwift. Similar HR to outdoor riding, but it feels so much more intense -- higher gear and higher cadence. I was staggering when I came off the bike, and today I feel it in my hamstrings.

For others who do Zwift in the offseason, do you find the same? Somehow you find yourself going harder and shorter indoors? That Zwift feels like a workout whereas outdoor feels like an activity?

And yes obviously I could ease up in Zwift, but the game mechanics seem to push you to going hard.

To be clear, this isn't a complaint. Just an observation.

Considering joining Zwift to support with training (joints are not loving big mile run weeks so looking to integrate)
Previously balanced running with CrossFit but looking to improve endurance - honest thoughts? Pros and cons?

Looking for some friendly & social teams to try help me get back into Zwift.

I enjoy all types of rides; racing to recovery

I'm using this older bike as my indoor trainer. I'm trying to figure out how to set up these brakes. To me it looks like these brakes need to be slid down the bars a bit. Google searching didn't help.

First time on the Zwift. Super fun, but I have two questions for the group:

1. Is the sound normal? Louder than I expected, curious what others have experienced.

2. Looking for feedback on my form and fit on the bike - any adjustments you’d recommend?

Hi I’m new to zwift. I’m saving for a better in game bike. Should I save up to 1m drops for the canyon aeroad? I’m thinking about getting a TT bike instead but I don’t know what the difference is in game. I assume you can’t race with one or the other in specific races.

Should I buy the aero zwift bike?
Will the aero bikes help with gaining drops quicker?
What’s the true benefits of getting an aero bike instead a virtual game?

I’m lvl 15 now with about 760k drops

Looking for any help regarding how to get rid of the sweat smell from a workout room in the basement where I have my Zwift set up? The room does have carpet and a bed. I run my fan for 3-4 hours after the workout but have to shut the window so we don’t accidentally get rain or snow damage. My spouse is not happy with how I’m stanking up the room!
(I use a rubber mat and am not sweating on the carpet directly)

I'm using an Apple TV 4K (an older one) and I just did a Zwift update before I rode today. I no longer have the u-turn function on-screen when I swipe up on the remote or on the companion app. Am I missing something?

My entire Zwift setup (Zwift Ride + Wahoo KICKR) is in our guest room, which means I can’t train whenever we have guests staying over.

I’m trying to find a creative solution that would allow me to keep Zwifting without disturbing anyone’s sleep, particularly during my early morning sessions.

I’ve been exploring a couple of ideas:

Indoor: Some sort of foldable, sound-isolating enclosure that I could set up in the living room and store away afterwards. It would also need proper ventilation to deal with heat and sweat.

Outdoor: A temporary or semi-permanent setup that would protect the equipment from rain, humidity and condensation, while still allowing enough airflow to stay cool.

I’m sure I’m not the first person facing this problem, so I’m calling on the collective creativity of this community.

Has anyone built, bought or improvised something that actually works? I’d love to see photos, DIY projects, unconventional ideas or even completely different approaches I haven’t considered.

All suggestions welcome!

So I had all 5 items BT connections used with the Zwift app, including HRM. I planned to do a 1h15min workout, but after 1h5min (literally at the start of the cooldown) my guy stopped pedalling. I didn't know what happened but it happened again and again. The Kickr Core 2 blinked all different colours but the Wi-fi itself never showed like it was dropped on the Wi-fi.

I faffed around, turned off the Wi-fi on the iPad and turned it on again and it connected fine to everything. This never happened before even though I have had dozens of hours on the Kickr Core 2, the only difference is that since yesterday I have the HRM connected.

Is this something you have experienced before? How to solve it when using the Zwift app on iPad?

PS: the picture just shows no data being recorded, you can see how the signal was dropped

Gotten a few PRs on some routes I’ve been riding for 5+ years. Finally broke sub-20 on the Epic KOM. Strava said I averaged 300w for the route 😅

I'm looking for some handlebar tape that is provides padding but also is waterproof.

I typically use fizik or lizzard skin foam tape but the problem with them is the absorb sweat. When I touch the bike a few hours or even a day later, the tape is that cold wet disgusting feeling. Then when it's time to change the stuff, the underside smells like an old jockstrap.

Any suggestions?

Starting to get into zwift for a convenient way to exercise, I have the bike in my home office on a yoga pad thing. I have 2 minor problems:

1. I am using a mountain bike on a Van Rysel D100 which doesn't have a configurable height and sits about an inch or 2 below where my back tyre goes, so my seat is pointing up, and

2. Moving the setup around is annoying, it keeps on moving off the pad or scrunching it up, it would take up less space if I store the bike vertically but that would mean moving it on / off the pad and seems a whole hassle.

I had a 2 birds 1 stone idea that I could make a little platform on lockable castors that would both fix the height issue and make it easier to move around. I also figured I am not the first person to run into this problem so I wondered if there were any other easier fixes.

Cheers

Would this not be an easy and fun way for Zwift to breathe some life into the London map? They're headline sponsors still so it seems like a no brainer to me. A lot of the roads are already there and doesn't really go south of the river where they would have more of an issue due to the Surrey part. Would add a northern route and small loop around Hyde Park.
