Zwift Chat

Do you miss the float?

Yes. I fell much more locked in the Assiomas, and my knees like the float of the SPs.
TBH I haven't done any adjustments to the Assiomas, so perhaps they can be adjusted somehow. Definitely need to make them easier to unclip before I use them outdoor.

My new time trial bike has 170mm cranks - and my road bikes are all 172.5mm. I can't see how to tell my Garmin that the crank length has changed. Anyone know?

Cheers, but on my Edge 820 under Sensor Details it doesn't have Crank Length. I've tried the user manual but that doesn't say anything either.

This?

Entering the Crank Length with the Edge® 520 and Edge 820
Select Settings > Sensors > Power. Select your sensor. Select Sensor Details > Crank Length.

Well here's the final league table for the Tour de Zwift. Well done to the dirty dozen who completed all stages

A new name at the top this month - Congrats @<Tommy> on an impressive 7 stages and fully deserved. It looks like you may be stepping up to Cat A soon (give Al some company). @Milzy pushed Tommy close all the way and Berty completed the podium.

Another imminent promotion looks in @Whorty's sights as he triumphs in the C cat. Well done sir! And well done @Joffey - a full set of results and an obvious improvement trend over the tour

Not sure when the next league will run. Tuesday's looks like it may be the new Danish team comp for a short while, but if there's a desire to set up a new league let me know!

I'm not putting out B cat numbers yet ( ) but happy if we have a policy of promotion to the next cat if you win your cat in a league I'm trying my hardest to get into B so don't mind being pushed up; I really only look at the main league anyway, although feck knows how I'm ever going to pull back any time on those above me I'm always looking over my shoulder at those chasing me hard

Looks perfect, however when I select Sensors, there is no "Power" option. Think I'll disable the P1 and then re-install it. Hopefully it will give me the Crank Length option then.

These have signed up for the race tomorrow at 7.15 PM. 190 riders has so far signed up across the cats.

We could still use a couple more CycleChatters in both B and C.

@IrishAl sign up too (in A), but he is riding for BRT (The BRaT Pack), so won't count in any team rankings for CycleChat.

Looking at the 20 minute numbers of those signed up to B, I'm looking like tail-end charlie Gonna take some hard work to chase anyone around me

Onwards and upwards 👍 Looking forward to these races @Brusgaard, thanks for the invite.

@Freelanderuk Did you try a workout on Zwift yet?

Yes, we need some stronger riders to get some points with 68 signed up in B so far. At least we get 1 point just for finishing each stage.

I had hoped more of the faster CC league guys would sign up, but they must be afraid of facing the competition from the Danish riders. Maybe the Nations Cup results on Bkool has put a scare into them.

I'll try and do this Steen - just been delaying signing up as I wasn't 100% sure I could make it. But it's now looking more hopeful I'll be OK. Do we just sign up on the Companion App as normal for any race or is there anything else to do with regards team entry etc?

About year and a half take to break 1000w benchmark with my current trainer, it was about time. Subway stairs 15% in London is been a best place for me to try that so far.

Nothing special - just sign up in the app or on ZwiftPower. Try to convince your fellow top B's to do the same. With many riders from team Fusion Development signed up, you are sure to face some real competition!

I predict a win for Simon Nielsen / FUSION ECT (15 w/kg in his sprint) in the A cat or one of the Fusion Dev A-riders. Simon is a very clever rider, whose w/kg is usually quite low during the race as he is a really good at positioning in the draft. So in a sprint finish he has quite some reserves left.

I need to finish the Tour of Sufferlandria before I go near a race. 15h of riding over 8 days will hopefully leave me a little stronger...or broken. 😁

How's the tour going Bob? I saw you did the first stage on Sat. Doing ISLAGIATT against my full ftp left me broken for days after, let alone having to follow that up with 7 more days

Are you attempting it at full power?

@Freelanderuk Did you try a workout on Zwift yet?
