That's a great price. Hoping they eventually use the steering buttons on the neobike....do they work on the atom kickr or stages?

Not on Stages as far as I'm aware

On the Atom, the built in buttons are ready to go for steering according to Wattbike, they just need Zwift to switch them on in the software. And in fact they did do that by accident at one point a few years back - although it didn't work, it just made you constantly U-turn if you touched one of the buttons by accident. They put it back to how it was before in the next version with the promise that it was being worked on and would be released correctly soon after, but nothing has been heard since.

I am afraid that would steer me out into the dirt(y) way too often!

I'd want to see how easy it was to manoeuvre around the pack. Can you move sideways through another avatar or do you have to drop back to move from left to right looking for the gap. It could be far too distracting at the crucial points of races, navigating aswell.

I've learnt what to do when not optimally positioned without added actions of steering input. The rest of it is what you've got in the legs at crunch time

No. That is not possible.

or do you have to drop back to move from left to right looking for the gap.

Or forward

Very possibly.

I'm holding out for the Zwift controller with buttons. The idea of using handlebars for indoor steering doesn't appeal to me at all.

Does it also charge your pacemaker?

Are you referring to the Black and Decker pacemaker?

It was barking mad - especially for Evenepoel

That was ruff

Who would have said only a year or so ago, that Roglic would lose 40secs on a short timetrial. Evenopoul(sp) was super strong
