Zwift Chat

I'd be up for that, but only once 1st August rolls round so that I get my free 25km allowance from Zwift again!

Looked at the upcoming events list and there's actually quite a few Bologna TT races upcoming in the next week - I thought hardly anyone used that world so guessed it would be slim pickings, but I was pleasantly surprised. Can't see myself doing one at 2am though.

Shall we have a bit of a league? Everyone do a Bologna ITT between now and next Sunday and get a results table going? 🙂

Sounds like a plan (no one tell @berty bassett though ok? )

What am I missing?

What am I missing?

It’s new for the team time trials to be using the conveyer belt?

Bit of a long shot… anyone have rollers and fancy a spin on zwift using them?

Alternately is there a zwift pace partner bot around 180w +/-?

I think they're all based on W/kg, so it depends what you weigh. Other alternative would be a custom workout with the wattage fixed at 180.

Cant you adjust your weight(Zwift) to give you the desired W/kg for ~180W then use a bot. Dont save the ride if it logged on ZP

Aren't all bots 75kg and 175cm?

180[W] / 75[kg] = 2.4[W/kg].

C. Cadence in Watopia would be the closest.

The PP’s are all going to be set at the same weight very soon, but they haven’t said exactly when yet. I’ve heard that it might be as early as next Monday but also seen mid-September listed as the date, so who knows?

EDIT - had it confirmed on the Zwift forums, heights and weights for all Pace Partners will all get equalised when they come out of Futureworks in mid-September, so 6-7 weeks to wait for that.

Classic Zwift - they’ve had this in testing/beta/future works for months and they’re planning to implement a change as they go live rather than during the beta phase?!

Women's TDF, blown apart 👍

I was going to post here about this but forgot.

I took part in this TTT with a WTRL team. It was a beta QA test for the conveyor belt start for TTTs.

It worked well. I agree with what the girl says at the start when they leave the pen. The team seems to group up more quickly and the start feels smoother. Everything else is the same. You still have to be pedalling when the banner drops.

There was one error in the way the race was set up which meant that we could see all pens leaving at the same time, so a couple of times it looked as though 2 teams had left the start line together, but I was told afterwards that this was an error in the race set up. not a bug in the new conveyor belt function.

I'm told it should be available in the next software release, for the first ZRL season and for all future WTRL TTT events.
