Zwift Chat

[CXRAndy]

I manage to do this but not away i thought. I thought that i can pair my devices using Ant+ connection with both apps but it didn't go like that. I paired my trainer and hr sensor to TR on ant+ and on Zwift i need to use bluetooth because Zwift didn't found any devices on ant+, i guess that is the way how ant+ works. I have try to avoid to use bluetooth because ant+ is worked well so far.

I use 2 Ant+ dongles. separately setup for TR and Zwift. It seems the Apps need their own connection not a shared one. Or like you did some sensors on Bluetooth others on Ant+

Todays session the way i did give me good power meter comparisons as well. It was Quarq DZero vs. Elite Drivo2. DZero measured 169w and Elite 174w, i didn't calibrate DZero this time but i think it wouldn't change much. I think i go to web shopping and order another ant+ dongle and usb adapter to my macbook pro.

Well anyone can go that fast if you're stopping at chalet Reynard like some kind of lightweight

Woken up to an email saying the Duathlon is being postponed due to the weather. A couple of days ago I'd have been relieved but I'm really disappointed now. There is literally not a breath of wind here this morning, and the forecast for Castle combe has improved hugely - now just a 19mph "breeze" (and rain, but that's not the issue). The organisers had said they would assess weather this morning and were sounding really positive but some comments from a couple of people on social media saying it was dangerous has panicked them I think.

What an anti climax! Might just go on Zwift now....

It's nature's way of telling you running is bad. Nature loves a bicycle purist.

@Whorty
When you do the work outs are you in erg mode on the trainer, never used this
Cheers

Apparently it was about 6.8 w/kg for 30 minutes

When I’ve done it I’ve use ant+ for Zwift and Bluetooth for TR. on windows you need this Bluetooth dongle https://eu.mouser.com/ProductDetail...=sGAEpiMZZMuG6/XKM6MUaQbL2ZzzUt/28rs99w46ies=

He seems to have changed his cadence to spin faster according to people who know these things. he didn’t look like he was breathing! Lots of cynical voices suggesting cheating. Lantern rouge on YT has a good vid on the ride

@Whorty Was that you I saw on the Three Sisters Pack Ride? (I bailed after two sisters, wasn't feeling it)

So by that logic the more we spend on cycling gear the better nature is to us? With all the bad weather we’re having it feels like my duty to spend some money on cycling stuff. Might actually save a few lives in process! I feel better about the shoes I’ve just bought already 😄

Cheers Randy! 👍

it's a direct correlation. Check out all the foot symbols in strava from everyone like @Breedon and @IrishAl then look at your weather. Thank you for your work countering this. Nature will reward you. She knows.

Do lightweight titanium spindles for my speed play pedals count? Or the also lightweight thru axles I have ordered from Taiwan to go with climbing wheels?

I just bought some long spindles for my Crank Brothers Candy pedals but am having a tough time replacing them. The instructions are like the symbols on a VW beetle that I had a long time ago.

Sorry to hear that your duathlon was cancelled @bridgy after you were all up for it 😭 If it's anything like up here today it probably was a good call - I've been busy clearing the garden this afternoon after a couple of trees came down earlier. Now the power has gone down just as I was about to settle in front of the tv with a bottle of wine . So I'm now catching up on what's been going on here instead.

I see you did a long 100km Zwift session though (along with a few others today). Don't think I could hack spending 2-3 hours on the turbo!
