Brusgaard and anyone else with a line of contact with bkool; isn’t the answer to much of the continuing issues allowing users to calibrate their Pro’s etc? Or an App that allows it? Might that not bring some consistency between pro users?

Great idea.. a calibration app.

calibration against Watt/What? There is no defined reference. Unless you supply a power meter

Watch out for @Del C when he has received his magic powder and what not, which he won in the prizedraw following yesterday’s BWC live races.

Have I?

I haven't heard anything from Bkool............. so that sounds very plausible!

They will probably contact you next week. And if not, comment their post on FB.

I don't even know what I've won........ but a truck full of fairy dust would be nice!

Just seen their post on their Facebook page.

I've won a 'sports nutrition package"

Hope it includes Chris Froome's inhaler!

Thanks for posting the vid Brusgaard. It clearly shows something like a dead stop at the start where you and I get totally caught by it but the three in front don't.

I was pretty sure the dead stops were weight related, but you are 6 kg lighter than me, and @AAAC 76C 3 kg lighter. So I guess it is more or less random who gets hit as long as you ride a Pro with firmware above 3.02?

If you see the video from the start, you are listed as Pro 7 under CYCLISTS, hence your green outfit.

Yes, that is how you see me because bkool do not have their updates working properly. I am listed as Elite 3 under cyclists when seen from my screen.

How do you get to that summary screen @Brusgaard, I've not seen that before? And how do they work out the effort stat? - it's making me look lazy!

Just use the URL posted and edit the SessionId to the one from your race. You’ll find the SessionId, if you hover the COPY button on the Activity details page. You can combine more results from the same route (even regardless of the day ridden) by adding more ids separated by ”;”.

I don’t know how they calculate it, but I guess they use each riders numbers, and that is why it takes a long time to show, if the race(s) have 100+ riders.

Thanks - I'll have a look after future rides

It looks like the effort stat is the percentage of your watts against your previous best (ftp calculated) watts.

Yes, it is your effort compared to your current level, ie. Elite 10. The higher your level, the harder it is to reach 100, Especially if your level is achieved with fairy dust.

What do wahoo and other companies calibrate against? Wahoo’s calibration for the Snap seems pretty accurate.

Not just you @BILL S I’m shown on @Brusgaard as yellow but I have red on mine.
