Bkool receives the power from the trainer, if available. On the Flux S, power is available. But: On most trainers you have to enter your weight and also that of your bike. Wrong weight = wrong resistance = wrong power = wrong speed, etc... I had a Tacx Flux S, so I know you have to enter your weight in the Tacx Trainer app. Your description sounds like the correct weights have not been entered. Please check.I got a Bkool Pro 55f6 for my wife so we could train together (I have a Trax Flux S). We're trying to ride together on Zwift. Her power is WAY off making it impossible. I also have a pedal-based power meter which confirms mine is correct.
I did side-by-side tests of compatible gear, effort and cadence and the Bkool is reporting less than half the power. For example, a leisure 62 rpm at 120 watts on my trainer is the same effort as 62 rpm at 50 watts on the Bkool.
Basically, the calibration is WAY off, less than half of what it should be. I can't find any method of calibration. For my trainer, there's a calibration icon in Zwift, but for the Bkool in Zwift it doesn't offer a calibration icon.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? We've both been searching and trying different apps for hours now with no results. Basically, this is useless if it can't be somewhat similar in power output so we can ride together.
