No parcel today...

I have set my alarm for early tomorrow so I can check for delivery updates. I don't want to be asleep if DHL suddenly turn up at silly o'clock!

Worth noting that Zwifterbikes is not yet updated with the new wheel/frame data so currently no help for bike selection - hope they get it updated soon as it's a really good resource usually

It's going to make it much more complicated as I've seen lots of confusing comments like the specialised aethos at level 5 will be a better climber than the SL8 at level 5 but not at any other level. I'm sure they are cursing the algorithm changes 😂

Oh yeah, they're going to have to factor in all the upgrade level changes as well! That will really complicate things - and I don't think the full testing has yet been done on the effects of all the upgrades yet anyway? That said, if they do get it all updated to reflect all that stuff it will become an even more useful resource because up until now for 90% of courses, "if unsure just go for the Tron" worked pretty well actually - definitely not any more though!

Actually, it looks now like the default for now is - Tron if it's completely flat; for everything else, a choice between 3 wheelsets on your SL8.

But might get more complex once new upgrades added

I do wish they'd stop messing about with the bikes. Most of the fun I have on Zwift is doing TTs (because I'm a bit special :wacko:), and I feel torn between trying to put myself on the most competitive bike (to do as well as I can in the race), or trying to keep my equipment constant so that I can compare efforts. It least I can compare my power outputs for a reliable and objective measurement, but comparing times is more relatable...

I’m glad Zwift have implemented this. After the ZRS mess they needed to do something to engage subscribers and this works (for me certainly).

Something to aim for, new challenges to encourage getting on the bike. I know it’s gamification but it works for Zwift … I mean, who doesn’t like their fire socks?!? 🤣

Aha... 15:48-16:48 today!
It's a good job that I came back early from today's Tour de Todmorden...

... because it actually arrived at 15:14!! :smile:

I'll get it set up and try it out on TPV, Zwift and MyWhoosh.

I will no doubt be reporting back over the next few days!
