@BILL S I completed stage 1 of chaingang but stupidly the course wasn't the league version of the stage, is there anyway my results can be added or do I have to do it again

Hi Bert. You'd need to do a dummy run from the league tab so it'll show up in the rides to be approved and I can correct the time to your actual ride time.

Chaingang tonight at 7pm

Stage 3 in San Román de Hornija.

It's a long shot but I would take the covers of and make sure your magnets are tight on the carrier.
The nuts are captive so it's not hard to do.
Also make sure the stepper motor threaded drive for the magnet carrier is secure in its nylon socket down be hind the flywheel.

Ok, had a look at it and the flywheel seemed not to be 100% true. Something like ½mm difference in distance to magnets. Stepper motor mounting screws was a bit loose too.

Unfortunately my daughter bossed me out in the kitchen to make her some food, and while I was out there she dropped the thing on the floor

Stepper motor shaft is now broken so it's unable to change resistance. Ironically the blow seems to have trued the flywheel.

Lars, I know you have ridden in Zwift before perhaps try that again and see if it resets the turbo? I recall that seemed to happen with me sometimes with the pro applying noticeably less resistance after a Zwift session.

I would have tried it, but my trial period expired.

Lars, what bad luck! Fixable?

Lars, what bad luck! Fixable?

Would be if spares were available, only a scrap model with good parts would rescue the situation. Or a Kickr or Neo!?!

Damm Lars, who did you piss off lately to give you all this bad luck!

I'm going to try and stick to my go steady plan tonight. Just ate supper so failing to do so could bring back bad memories!

Apologies Bill, I'm resting my pins tonight as I'm hoping to team up with Whorty McWhortface tomorrow evening. Don't want to let him down..

I'll catch up at the weekend.
