Zwift Chat

We have a Powertap Hub on my wife's bike now. It is a pain swapping the battery and I can never find the tool for it.

Found you on Zwift - but can't see you on Zwiftpower. Definitely suggest you sign up there.

Yes Powertap is a PITA and my Turbo bike has rear facing dropouts so its a PITA taking the wheel off just to put that battery in.
I have signed into Zwiftpower with my Zwift account. I'm not sure I've been there before. I can see this will be useful for analysis - which I need to get better at. Cheers !

Oh how do you find the zwift hub?

Have you been on zwiftinsider? Cracking website

Early days yet but it is SO much better than the dumb trainer - that was like cycling through treacle all of the time. Now I can freewheel ! :-)

Yes Zwiftinsider is really good. He puts a lot of effort into that site.

Had Zwift crash on me last night. I'd just finished a workout in which I'd done 20 mins at 105%-107% FTP, which gave me a little FTP rise (I think to about 292W), but then it crashed on the ride summary screen and chucked me out without saving anything (nor showing me my FTP gain)

Have you checked your settings Tim?

If they have you registered as a C cat, they might assume you don’t want to go beyond 19 minutes at any given time

I think it’s as Alex said, sorry can’t find your post now Alex. All this talk of joff’s E cups has got me flustered!

I think I’ve been doing a tour stages rather than a race series. Although I did beat lee on Saturdays stage, so I think even though there has been some disagreement today, we can all agree that was most definitely a race!

But was I trying ?

We need another Tour de Splitters, lads. Everyone was trying hard there

I still like the idea of doing a Chase Race at some point too.

5 flat races, with a sprint at the end of each one ... I'm in

Didn’t we agree we’d burn all the evidence?!

I thought it was gonna be
Climber's Gambit
Legends and Lava
Road to Sky
Ven Top

As long as we wait until I've got my Aethos - those 8 seconds will make all the difference

Flamme Rouge. Unless you mean you want to be the lanterne rouge

There's no frame choice in any of the races. For TTs riders get the standard Zwift TT, and for other stages everyone gets the standard Zwift road. It happens automatically. Yes, you do get to choose the wheels

[EDIT]: There's also no power ups.

Is this under the flam rouge. They specify the bike you choose wheels
