Just uploaded today's 2 x 20 session, ridden on my Elite turbo.
The site says it accepts fit files, but it didn't. It says it accepts tcx files, but it didn't. I suppose it accepts them if they contain gps data.
It did accept an hrm file, but then divided the power figures by 10
.
So indoor rides on other turbos don't upload accurately. Not surprising, really. It isn't what the site was designed for.

Strange, the privacy was set to Friends and Groups so it should have been visible. Changed it to everyone.
Ditto
Ah sounds like its me then , I'll have a look
Does anyone use a garmin ant + hrm with the bkool , I've a polar bluetooth one i use outside but it's not compatible , I'm trying to decide if I want one on the turbo or not , I'm a data freak ... just trying to talk myself into getting one , once I get rid of this bloody cold that is
Cheers I can see both sessions now

Garmin 500 with HRM strap and cadence/speed sensor. I use it outside, and on the Bkool. The sensors show up on the pairing list, I select them and they work flawlessly.
I didn't bother fitting the cadence/speed sensor that came with the Bkool.

I knew I should of left the garmin speed / cadence sensor on instead of putting the bkool one on , oh well it's on ebay allong with a garmin ant + dongle that I was using with previous turbo so hopefully I can swap for a hrm strap ,
I've just exported one of my own files from garmin connect as a gpx file uploaded to bkool and it was way off , showing a 10% incline out my front door when its flat and a 4 % incline as 16 % ..abit further out....,..bit strange

It does throw up some weird inclines, but overall it is pretty good.
Ive never done it, but i think you can alter the incline in the change terrain.
I have the 200 as well , I'm was hoping the 500 might of turned up at christmas , I dropped enough hints
Yeah I noticed that in the terrain bit I'll have to have another delve in and have a look , that's the first time it's been so way off
My attempt at Vejle - Hornstrup
I used Michael, Dean and BOAB as opponents, and actually stayed with them for about 10 minutes
.
Finished last, as expected, but not as far behind as I thought I'd be. I'm quite pleased with the power and the speed.
