Hi,
Has anyone got the new Bkool Smart Bike and could give a review? I can't find any decent reviews online.
I mean the standalone spinning bike model, not any turbo trainer model.
Thanks!
I have a new tacx 2240 and have begun using it with bkool and zwift
I have acer laptop with i5 processor, 4gb ram - intel hdr 4400 graphics - both just stop responding during use - the most I have got is around 10 minutes with bkool. The graphics don't show me slowing down - or dismounting so...
I have the opportunity to send a list of problems with Bkool direct to their management. Please post in this thread any serious/fixable problems you would like me to pass on......

Hi. I have been running Bkool on two laptops...with results I dont really understand, as the higher spec PC (processor, graphics, SSD) has a harder time with the Bkool app (delays, rendering quality etc). I noticed it looks fine on my android phone - so wonder if anyone has been successful...
Hi,
I have a Pro2 trainer and I'd like to use it on Zwift to compare it with the Bkool simulator.
I've seen posts that say that the original Pro had to be set to Ant+FEC on the settings screen and then it will work.
Does the Pro2 need the same setting up and will it still work on the Bkool...
Hi,
I was just wondering if anyone here has managed to get Bkool to work on Ubuntu (under Wine) or if anyone knows if there are plans to support Linux (like Ubuntu)
Thanks, Gos
I've been researching the best "budget option" smart trainers with the ability to automatically control resistance as the wife will go loco if I spend £400 on a smart pro 2.
The smart go looks like a decent option at £255 (with included ANT+ stick) as I don't anticipate needing over the quoted...
Getting rid of a few bits.
Bkool Pro, less than 50 miles ridden on it, boxed with Ant+ usb dongle - £225
Weeride front mounted seat, awesome for kids, good condition, boxed with all brackets etc - £50
A generic rack mounted rear seat for children, very useful for the older child up to around...
Hi there. I have used my bkool pro fairly vigorously now for a couple of years and just wondered whether there is any cleaning, maintenance or even recalibration I should do on the unit?
Any advice much appreciated.

Just had my first problem with a ride apparently not saving on Bkool. I got a message after clicking "Save" that the ride had not uploaded. Is that it, gone for ever? or may it turn up somewhere, or can Bkool possibly find it if I contact them. Not best pleased at the moment.
I guess it should...
For those who have migrated from the Bkool platform to Zwift.
Feel free to drop onto bkool chat just remind those what they might be missing out on :okay:. Only good mannered banter
I'm currently on my 3 months freebie membership of Bkool Premium which came with my Bkool Pro. I occasionally use Bkool for rides but not that often preferring to use BigRingVR and VeloReality.
When my freebie subscription runs out I'm considering not renewing it but don't want to screw up any...
Is there any recommended tyre type that's better at reducing slippage? I know due to the design of the trainer that it will slip when there is no weight on the saddle but just wondered if any types of tyre were better than others, eg wider ones better? What sort of width?
Currently using a...
Hi, really sorry if this has been covered before, have tried searching but I cant find it. I've bought a second hand bkool pro that has come with a speed/cadence combo. But there aren't any instryctions with it. Anyone care to tell me how to fit it? Thanks
Hello all,
I am recovering from an accident that I had on the 10th Jan 17 and I've been told that I can get back on the bike so I would like to put together a fixed distance or time where I can control the gradient. Is this do-able as I am not too familiar with the Bkool Indoor software.
If...
Here's the thread for discussing plans for the Nations Cup races on the morning of Saturday 25th February.
I suggest we keep discussikns here for general stuff and planning, and device some other more private method to communicate any sneaky secret squirrell tactics.....
So i have a Bkool smart pro training and been bouncing back between zwift and bkool training software. I used to have a bkool subscription over a year ok which was cancelled at the start of last session. So today i thought i would try the bkool software and checked my profile and is says I...
On my Bkool Pro I enabled FE-C today to test BigringVR, but after doing that my next ride on Bkool seemed to be uploaded but when checking my profile no ride was uploaded. Could this be because of FE-C? How can I DISABLE FE-C again?
Thanks
Hi,
I'm just trying leagues for the first time now and joined the Bkool Winter Cup. I've ridden 3 stages this week - Lake Bodom Loop, Rio 2016 Triathlon and Tour de France 2017 S1. I joined from the leagues tab in the simulator and all 3 rides turn up with the little trophy icon in the...
Just got my hands on my Bkool Pro and have now signed up for the freebie month Premium subscription. I want to do the "official" Bkool ftp test and went to the "My Profile" >> Fitness Level where it talks about taking the ftp test. I clicked on the hyperlink to ftp test but it just stays on the...
Does anyone know if this can be done? tried pairing mine and it won't work. as far as I know it has all the latest updates?
Is there something I'm missing?
Thanks
