Fully agree with all these comments. I rider at least 50% of my annual miles on Zwift, it’s a no.brainer that my best bike should be a zwifb compatible bike
15 years ago I was probably 95% outdoors, 5% indoors on my trubo trainer. Now I’m 95-100% indoors
Gone are those cycling tan lines
Would you be able to replicate outdoor position on an indoor bike? I’d want my TT on the trainer to be able to get used to the position ahead of a triathlon
I don’t see why not. On mine I can adjust crank length, seat post height, saddle position forwards and backwards, handlebar height and reach.
Here is it at it’s smallest for an 8yo and then 1 min later adjusted for me at 6’2". It has measures on it so itnis easy to return back to my position. And you can just add TT bars if you want
Yes, I can replicate the position exactly, however, no bar end TT shifters
Mr is quite happy getting his TT position on ours.
Clearly I’m out of touch picturing a gym stationary bike!
I’ll definitely be looking to get a smart bike when we move out of London, but for now I haven’t really got the space for a permanently set up bike.
I had one of the original Wattbikes for a few years as part of a sponsorship deal with HotChillee before the days of Zwift and it was huge and weighed about 100kg, so it just took up too much space in the house. I ended up using it in the garage, which is opposite the house and has no power, so I was in the dark in the winter
I think I paid about £1,000 for my Wahoo turbo in 2020, so £1,500 for a smart bike sounds like good value
I think most smart bikes are around 2 -5k now
Some traumatic memories on the TTT tonight, suffered a bit from the lack of training and it’ll be at least another 10 days before I’m over the donation, but managed a few turns on the front at the start then it was a grim hang on until the end, but still managed 284W for the event. Luckily the route was fairly flat.
Was expecting some kind of Scooby Doo baddie moment at the end where the other riders took off their masks to reveal buzz, tupps & fruity back to punish me again
Enjoyed tonight as much as one can on a TTT.
Had some new data fields (mostly worked) which really helped.
Had some great pacelines and took the win.
Clear at the top now
You racing with bl13 still @jeffb ?
Yeah, they’ve got another team that’s mostly top B’s, I’m still the weak link but not out of the back after a minute!
Mike you’d be really welcome back to BL13 now we have a B Cat team set up. But I expect you’re settled in new team now? Your wife looks really strong now, got to get her back racing with the ladies
If I ever parted with CLS I’d definitely come back.
I’m really fortunate with current team, really similar abilities which is making us Uber competitive (we had no right to win the TTT this week with our power, but we still did).
I keep trying… She’s so negative all things racing. Even after that makuri race finishing in top pack with the pros.
Had she done the Alp race imagine she would have been top BL13 rider.
She has major imposter syndrome and plays down any achievements. Incredibly frustrating when we know what she is capable of.
I thought so
Yes she’s strong right now, think she’d have fun with them if she jumped in.
I like the look off the pull/recover bit. And that’s a discord overlay/mod as well (where it says “Doddy”)? Sauce (assuming it’s all that) and its mods have really upped the game with data you can work with.
I’m really impressed that according to patreon he’s go “5,517 paid members” - so each paying £2 a month. That’s over £130k a year before patreon fees, tax, etc. etc. What a great little job he’s created.
Discord is a browser source overlay.
So you can pull any web stuff in. But yes, that’s the discord URL hooked into it.
Funnily enough I was looking at his revenue too. Fair play to him, zwift could’ve updated UI. They haven’t. He’s took advantage.
Feel a bit sorry for the modders, as they are the ones really creating the good stuff, but onto his infrastructure.
I turn the zwift hud off now if I’m just riding. Can’t quite make the switch for races tho.
