OK, who's up for the usual Handicap Chase tonight?

I'm in and will be using a network cable to the laptop tonight.

'Horse' and 'bolted' come to mind

Oh to have a had an "Elite" level, network cabled rider in that TTT.....

If I do go to the hard side it'll probably be with a neo or kickr/climb combo. Both of which require a big investment of cash that up intil now I could not justify as I had a working trainer. Now though I may need to shift some money as well as a little weight to use either.

I should know by the end of the week.

Not sure about that climb ether. Kickr though a solid investment.

Let's see what goes first - my broadband signal or my elite status?

I cant see the benefits myself of the climb feature. What I do like is these home made wobble platforms for the likes of the Kickr and other direct drive trainers. Allowing rocking motion, so really simulating normal riding

You could probably turn your hand to making one. I am waiting for Tacx and the others to bring them out ideally with one that allows me to ditch the front wheel.

Is the wahoo climb really worth it? I personally don't see the benefits and i like my cycling gadgets

I do get the idea. Having the bike and your body at an angle similar to if you were actually climbing a hill will probably condition you a little more for the real thing.

Still can’t beat the real thing though

Ooo ain’t there a lot doing the handicap !!
Dean - do you use the neo ?
Tempting

OK, serious question.

I may have the opportunity to put a list of current issues we have with Bkool direct to management and bypass the social media/"customer service" filter.

So with this in mind, what do you want me to pass on to them?

I'd be really grateful if you guys could let me know anything (serious/fixable) that you would like me to include on the list, over on this thread here - https://www.cyclechat.net/threads/problems-with-bkool.230855/

Many thanks

I'm going to knock one up, a few tennis balls and bits of wood

Make non Bkool trainers equal. Or sort out Bkool trainers. Get rid of dead stops. Sort out updating results, leagues instead of waiting sometimes days for it to update.

Remove the advantage pro users have./Change the algorithm to ensure pro watts are more accurate
Allow PM use
Remove dead stops

less important-concentrate on say top 20 courses and improve visuals.
