Well gave zwift a proper chance this time and pleasantly surprised. Do I take it all you guys are on other trainers now? What’s the pro like in comparison to say kickr? Or no comparison at all. I’ve gone for a new kickr anyway
Well I've been pleasantly surprised by Zwift too.
I thought it might be too restricted in terms of routes (wrong) and too serious (wrong again). I've just done my first couple of races and really enjoyed them. Riding against and working with others is great fun and really is a motivator.
I moved to a Tacx Neo and it's much better then the Bkool Pro. To be fair I think its really more that a direct drive trainer is much better than a wheel on trainer. This isn't a Bkool issue.
I did ride the Neo a couple of times on Bkool. To be fair, I thought the performance of the Neo on Bkool was ok. If anything I thought the gradients and changes seemed fairly realistic, but the problem is the one that so many have raised, ie you can't compete fairly with riders on Bkool trainers and that makes leagues and racing pointless.
I did load the new Bkool Beta sim before my subscription expired, but it trashed my MacBook. Had it been ok and addressed the trainer compatibility issues, I may have kept the Bkool subscription as well, but I won't do anything until the new Bkool sim is stable.
For now, I'm really enjoying the combination of the Neo and Zwift and I feel I'm riding stronger and it feels more realistic.
