But presumably you changed down a gear or two? That's effectively what the difficulty setting is doing - artificially changing your gearing effectively

Anyone gonna keep me company today in the C’s?
I'm signed up ... will be jumping on Zwift about 3:30 ish so will be nigh on 2 hours into cycling by the race. I may need you to keep me company
My league time may suffer slightly

Bit of a stupid question, and I suppose I should have asked it before ...Well, as Wiggle appear to be closing out the sale of the Neo, I would guess supplies have dried up and the Neo2 will be along shortly, they have dropped the Price to £829 ... Was too tempting to resist at that price... Awaiting delivery keenly now.
... What tools are required to fit the cassette to the Neo?
I may be able to find a chain whip from around 30 years ago, but I guess my 6 Speed Deore XT freehub tool isn't going to be much use??

You are right, it change two gears, actually 75% didn't leave any back-up gears left.
If you are fitting a new cassette and not removing from an old freehub. You need the Shimano tool https://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-ca...xOx2mY7FRfbbaNIKb4w-1uXVMPrwKUlIaAkxCEALw_wcB
It says 40Nm for torque tightness, but get it hand tight then about 1/4 turn for full tightness. Just hold the flywheel whilst tightening
If you have issues with the derailleur catching the flywheel on the inside sprocket, you need to fit either one or both of these tiny washers behind the black sleave you see on the shaft

I think you should re-ride the Zonconlan so that you get to experience the true effects of the NeoFor Sure, I won't be using the Neo to climb the Zoncolan, Stelvio or Ventoux
As an aside, I was reading the discussion of the Garmin Takeover of Tacx on DC Rainmakers Site. I asked the question about the Climb integration, and he has suggested that it may well be in trouble anyway, and that Wahoo have done it to others in the past!

I wouldn't mind trying it out but given that it is at half 5 probably won't have time to figure it out for this race.
I've also started listening to podcasts on the turbo so you may not want to hear Simon Mayos gentle wittering when you are going all out on a sprint effort!

Good to hear bkool have 100,000 active users. They should have the money to invest in improving software etc to all our benefit.

Just ride first 100km ride in a season. Last time i ride 100km October 2017 in a same route Volcano Flat. Time was then almost same 2h57min but now avg heart rate was 136 and 2017 it was 141. Some improvement, especially thinking then i had Bkool Smart Pro 1 and now Elite Drivo 2.
Think positiveJust raced. Legs tired. Will give H&H a go but i won't be in lead group
