Just got myself a BKool, my first turbo trainer! So far very impressed but loads of questions. This is a great thread and answered many of them. Thanks!

Just spoke to BKOOL, I have created a league and can't link two sessions to two stages. Instead of fixing they said delete and recreate the league, helpful not !!
Also I found why when you do something in a league it may not show up because, if you lost signal or no heartrate, it goes into a manual approve section and the league admin has to approve it.
So if you do a stage in any league and it doesn't show up (Bkool said wait 48 hours, helpful not !!) then email the league admin.

I found out what my own problem was with linking sessions to stages. If you publish before adding all stages, you can't then add stages after. It will take me months to add 80 odd stages 
So I have recreated with 8 stages and asked them to fix it, fingers crossed.

Just did crawford notch folliage ascent, there is a steep bit towards the end and its really hard work, well for me it is anyway... Can't help thinking that I am slow and need more hill climbing practice..
Oh and it counts as an easy still which surprises me... yet come of the routes I have done in the real world count as medium and hard..

I have imported a few routes into the Bkool software and all I see is a map view currently. Am I right in thinking that in time BKool will alter this to a 3D representation? If so, how long does it take? Is there a need to connect to Google Earth somehow to improve this?
As for videos, it would be brill to create some of rides I do. The Garmin VIRB Elite looks just the job for this, but out of my price range. Any suggestions for cheaper alternatives with long battery life? Is it easy to match none GPS camera videos with suitable files such as tcx, fit or gpx?
Thanks

Hi all
Can somebody help me please. Just got the trainer and have done several sessions but about 50 minutes in I get a message saying "do I want to end the session" and the speed and rpm go to zero yet I'm still peddling away. The only way to get rid of the message is to stop peddling and then start again. This goes on for about a dozen times before it seems to clear for good. By that time my times are stuffed. Any ideas?
Cheers
