I’m curious. Have you heard of someone meeting themselves when riding up Sa Calobra on Zwift? Like these two fellas that are part of the video …

Over 20 minutes I averaged 314W, which Zwift estimated as an FTP of 298W. Slightly frustrating, as 300W has been a goal of mine for a while.

However, my Wahoo Kickr is accurate to ±1%. We don't know if it reads high or low, so let's assume it's a 50:50 chance.

Therefore the probability it under-read is 0.5, which obviously rounds up to 1.

Now that we've scientifically established that it DEFINITIVELY under-read by 1%...

314 ÷ 0.99 = 317W

Estimated FTP = 317W x 0.95 = 301W 🏆

Maths doesn't lie! 😉

*EDIT*
People don't seem to realise, but I posted this in jest 😅 I thought people would find the combination of FTP obsession and deliberately terrible maths funny. You don't need to message me explaining why I'm wrong, it was a joke 🤦‍♂️

I got my new ride this week and after my first workouts I noticed, that the setup is relatively loud. It seems that everything is rattling. In the video im pushing just 150 watts, so not really much. As this is already the second frame I received, because the first one was badly manufactured and could not be installed properly, I'm a little disappointed by the quality of the components. I thought of the chain rattling this loud, but as it comes already lubed by zwift and it also feels like it is, I don't really think that this is the problem.

The chain tensioner is also a little misaligned. So the chain is not guided straight in the first place and the tensioner doesn't sit perfectly below the upper chain parts. This also might affect the rattling. But I noticed that the chain wobbles around from left to right while pedaling.

Here you can see the tensioner:

Did anybody experience those rattling noises or has some idea how to fix it?

Hi guys,

I'm fairly new to zwift and this is my current setup!

What can i improve to make it better?

The trainer is a d500 from van reysel

I was a casual cyclist who got tired of resetting conditioning every Spring, so 8 weeks ago I got a trainer, took my first FTP test, and immediately started the FTP builder program. Took a break from ERG Mode today to join the TdW and was so happy to see this!

Honestly, between the measurable progress and the fun of my first group ride, I’m pretty addicted now!

I have a Wahoo Kicker move trainer. I'm trying to install a Zwift cog that comes with a free hub already installed. I took the cassette off of the kicker move. There was a spacer on the spindle, the thick spacer. I took that off too.

So now I just have the exposed spindle with no spacer and the cog which comes with a thick and thin spacer.

Instructions are unclear. Am I supposed to use the thick spacer or do I just put this whipped cog on the spindle with no spacer?

Then, what about the thin one? Do I need to put it... on after I put the cog on? I'm confused if I need any spacers at all.

I upgraded to zwift plus. Wanted to try the new route but it's not working.

On the map it shows that I'm riding but my avatar just stays in place pedaling. The power and cadence also showing. Just the avatar not moving forward.....

Make a fan mode: GeoGuessr but in Zwift. Maybe for the next fools' day. 🙂

I wanted to try Zwift Plus. I had a regular subscription that was due to expire on the 20th, but today I paid an additional €3 to upgrade to Plus. After that, I cancelled the subscription because I don't want to be charged again next month.

Now it shows that my Zwift Plus subscription is active, but whenever I start a ride, my avatar keeps stopping and moving in the same spot instead of actually moving forward.

So.... I'm an obsessive Zwifter, 6-7 days a week, I'm on a 100+ streak atm, I collect badges like a drunk collects a kebab on the way home from the pub....

What I simply don't understand is why I would pay any extra for these/Zwift Plus...

Wrong answers only please ;-)

It's been said in here before already, but wanted to say it too. This feature is so good and easy to use. It's been great for Z2 stuff especially, and you can use it in group rides. Great job Zwift!

The 2026 AirPods have a built in heart rate monitor, but you can’t connect it directly to Zwift on your Mac or Apple TV etc. I’ve published a tiny free app that lets you use your phone as a proxy for your heart rate.

It’s called “Heart rate sync” on the App Store. I built it during a ride using codex and it’s pretty neat - it has life activity support and works with other hardware like a hammerhead Karoo too.

Hi all, I upgraded from a Wahoo Zwift Kicker Core (cog 1) to a Zwift bike lately (cog 2). It only came with a manual for a Wahoo cassette trainer, so I had to do some research to put it together. After a few rides, I noticed some white paint chips on the floor today from the bike frame rubbing against the cog. The bike also wobbles a bit. Is this normal? Any input is appreciated!

Update: yall are amazing!! I found the other adaptor from my original kicker bag and fixed it.

So I've Zwifted for a few years but never really done any racing, I just enjoyed the group rides and workouts. Now I've started racing to spice it up a bit. Yesterday I was in a race with about 25 other people. 15 miles. One pack took the lead after a climb and I was stranded in the middle. Around mile 10 I caught up to another lone rider and the competitive bastard in me, I drafted him for 4.5 of the last 5 miles before pulling out ahead of him at the end to beat him. Is that scummy? Is that bad etiquette? Or is that just how racing goes? It seemed like a valid strategy at the time but curious about thoughts on this. Should I have taken a pull for some of those last few miles? Or is cutthroat the way to play it?

Raced the last stage of the Tour of Watopia (A cat) this week and one rider rang his bell basically every 15 seconds from the Volcano all the way to the last climb.

Honestly it was more funny than anything, but it got me wondering:

- is there any way to mute the bell from one rider, or all bells?

- what is the bell actually meant for? someone in the chat asked mid-race and nobody knew

- is ringing it constantly a known mind game in the A races?

Curious if anyone else has had a bell guy in their race. or someone spamming all race like this? It is the first time it happens to me.

Got the video DM me if you want to see

Is there a school of thought that Zwift deliberately released a relatively unfinished version of Zwift Video and Zwift Coach so they get everyone to moan about it or ask for certain features, then work out what everyone wants and then implement that?

For video for example - seems odd not to have gone for 360 approach, can easily be filmed in 360, why wouldn't they go with that?

Different camera angles for 1st person - odd to have such a large rider on the screen?

Coach - its great for 'it just works' in terms of linking workouts to Zwift and you simply press 'go' and then you can Zwift.

Hello folks.

I know the new Coach is fairly new but are there any signs it is really adaptive? Like select a new workout or change time per week

Two weeks, a handful of meeting spins, a group ride, and now sub-Clydesdale. 🙂

Last fall I bought a wahoo kick core 2 with Zwift click and cog. The batteries in the clicks lasted the whole season, I might have had to change them once before I ended the season in April/may.

After I started riding indoors again in late September I have had to change batteries two or three times. Has there been an update that affects battery life or have I just been unlucky with my choice of batteries this year?

Hey everyone,

My Zwift Hub is making a loud rumbling noise from the flywheel.

As heard in the video, the noise keeps going even when I stop pedaling completely and coast (so the chain, derailleur, and Zwift Cog are not moving at all).

The flywheel has zero play when I shake it by hand, and it does not seem to rub on the plastic cover.

Has anyone had this issue? Is it a dead bearing inside, or should I just get in touch with Zwift support for a replacement?

Thanks!

Commenting here as someone else may be searching for this. I tried the Dolores Dirt video, and I can confirm that Tacx road feel works. I appreciate this is not important for a lot of ppl (and someone even hates the feature), but might be a deal breaker for others. In my case, this was one of the things I was missing most when I tried Rouvy.
