Zwift Chat

Ok
tried the phone to run zwift but the app kept "not responding " so i gave up with that and now i have tried splitting the ride so no more than half an hour at a time in an attempt to keep riding , tbh its about right as i am going pretty hard to keep up with the pacer group so a few mins every half hour is no worse than using the cafe break button .

Wouldn't a used but nearly new PC solve your problems

its an issue with the chipset within the pc and a known issue with zwift atm , my old laptop has the same brand of chipset so thats a no go .Only on zwift for about 4 months a year at most so i cant justify a newer machine as this one is still under warranty

That sounds like a right faff!

it is , tried to ride through it after disabling screenshots and video s suggested elsewhere and managed to get to 35 mins before it decided to freeze.

Is there anything you could do like updating the bios. My NUC PC was unstable, locking up, crashing. A revised bios restored stability, never had a problem

Have you checked for any updates on drivers from manufacturer?

the drivers and bios are up to date
its a known issue with amd ryzen chipsets

I have done about 3500km on a pair of the dual-sided ones since May. Mostly off-road but also some road rides. They lost connectivity with my Garmin 530 on one ride but I put that down to trying to transmit feeble radio signals through 3" of mud! Other than that they have been excellent. I really ought to get round to testing them against my Kickr but having just done a similar comparison with new scales against my 'trusty' bathroom scales I probably don't want to know the answer .

Mine are pretty close - certainly close enough for my needs

Have you updated the motherboard/chipset drivers? I have been using AMD for anything since 2019, and never had any issues.

Looks good!

Mine were due to be delivered in over a week's time, delayed by Xmas/NY, but eBay sent me a message this afternoon telling me that the parcel is already at the collection point waiting for me. I will go and pick it up tomorrow.

I won't be able to test the feet until my trainer arrives but I am interested to see what they look like. I will order the 8 tennis balls later this evening.

I have just realised that the Quarq Riken power meter cranks on the temporary trainer bike are Ant+ only whereas the Apple TV 4k box is Bluetooth only.

To save me scouring the internet for suggestions: Q: Do any of you know of an Android app which could be used to bridge between the two? I can display the power on my Elemnt Bolt v2 but it would be better to get the power data into TPV. Can the Bolt act as a bridge?

There is a 4iiii HRM that can act as an ANT+ to BT bridge.

Wouldn't it be better to print it so that the layers when installed are horizontal? Isn't it going to split when rocking now?

Thanks, but unfortunately, I got a different type of HRM for Christmas!

If there were a free or very cheap Android app, that would be great. Forget that - how would the Android device receive the Ant+ signal in the first place?!

Use the Zwift companion app on your phone or tablet to connect to your PM this will connect to Zwift on your apple box I think.
