They changed the belt on the 2018, as well as a few other things apparently, to help make it quieter/silent (I can hear my ankles complaining when riding it
). As well as trying to prevent slippage. AFAIK only the Neo is totally belt free within the direct drive trainer segment.Hoping to do this tomorrow. I've completed 8 of the 16 sessions now, so halfway there (2 races, 5 workouts, 1 group ride).
If you don't mind, that would be great. I'd happily drive to someone who is near enough to have someone help me fit it properly (assuming it is me that's at fault which is a high possibility!). Cheers
it could be any, all of these. I've watched the only available video on how to fit the belt and I think I have done it properly, but it is a bit of a faff and it is very possible i haven't tensioned something correctly. I just set the trainer on 40% in Zwiftland so it works fine - just a shame I can't climb the hills at the real gradient to get a proper feel.They changed the belt on the 2018, as well as a few other things apparently, to help make it quieter/silent (I can hear my ankles complaining when riding it
@Whorty could your issue be the roller, tensioner or flywheel?
It was ok, not my strongest race. I arrived late and was the last rider in the peleton when we started. On round 2 on the hill, a gap opened at the back of the peleton. I didn't feel like I had my climbers legs on today, so I hoped someone would close the gap after the hill, but that never happened. There was a strong head wind up that hill, so I knew it was game over when the gap wasn't closed. It was just pretty much a like a time trial from there.

Not a big hill:

but alone with a strong headwind, it was brutal
I can assure, they were not in slow motion
Top license (A & B) riders finished 15 min. ago, but the guys from our bunch (Super motion) still holds the fastest laps on Strava. Top guy avg. 430 watts for that fastest lap 
.
Yeah. You have a top 10 on a segment . CongratulationsI can assure, they were not in slow motion
Results from the elite guys has now ticked in. The top rider from our buch now "only" got the 4th fastest lap. I got bumped to 62th place
I've found there's usually a group that will ride at the appropriate range. There's usually also a group going harder that just leaves the main group behind.
I was skeptical of the powerline widgets, but I picked one up a couple years ago based on the recommendations here. Idea was to get functional network in a spot where the stone walls seem to block wifi signals. Worked perfectly. For things like TV streaming, zwift and the like they seem like a hell of a good solution.
I was happy sitting with the pack at 2.5 w/kg as this was my 4th day riding in a row. 1 or 2 may have gone off the front but mostly the pack stayed together. A nice recovery ride in the end.
