[Bollo]

Just joined the team in readiness for my Kickr arriving tomorrow. Hiya all!

Welcome...kickr is a great piece of kit

 

[kipster]

I see. Thanks also.

edit: You got me beat by 30 seconds or so. Out of interest, do you also find it hard to keep the power on during the downhill sections?

Yep, just got to keep the legs pumping on the downhill sections, no resting.

You heard anything back about your trainer @kipster

Thankyou guys, I shall try that this evening, during my next gruelling encounter with my new toy. I presently have it hooked up to my laptop, but I see a lot of you folks use your iPads? Any recommendations on which Wahoo key to get, there seems to be quite a choice. Have ordered my TACX, as that seems to be a favoured mounting device.

Wiggle have sent it back to the supplier (presumably BKOOL), I hope to hear in the next week or so.

Thanks burn, I'm looking forward to it. I'm retiring a very worn Cyclops Jet Fluid Pro (soon to be available for nowt in the free/exchange forum) so this will be a real step up. I usually ride rollers these days, but I'm expecting that to change very soon

Built in Ant+ hey? Should have got me a Galaxy tablet instead by the sound of it! I've just died on some Spanish mountain somewhere..... Thought pffft only 5.4 miles! Managed 4 of them! Need to wind in my expectations a little! 8.9% is quite steep isn't it!
