MyWhoosh vs Zwift

[Alex321]

Surely you need to find some middle-ground TD setting so that you're not "changing gear like crazy compared to outside"...?

I don't change gear much outside either. I think it's a hang-up from battling with downtube shifters in my formative cycling years - and not wanting to drop the chain by shifting ring when the chain's really under tension. Since I bought my Cervelo last September, I've done one hillclimb race in the little ring (and others in the big ring), but otherwise I don't think I've touched the left-hand lever!

It is a VERY rare ride where I don't use both rings, and I am usually changing gears at the rear every few minutes at most, frequently more often than that.

IMO, gears are there to be used.

This is my take on it too. Try to keep indoors as natural as possible.

I am still looking for a small, cheap, programmable Bluetooth keypad to use as a virtual gear selector in MyWhoosh. It needs to emulate the 'I' and 'K' keys on a keyboard. I do have a spare keyboard but would prefer to have the equivalent of a Zwift Click attached to my handlebar. Any suggestions?

I will definitely be going for hundreds of Mb/s once the tech guys have finished pushing fibres down the local drains and connected them up!

It is incredible how quickly technology has improved - I remember how excited I was to get 1 Mb/s broadband in 2003! (Mind you that was a huge step up from what I had been used to, which was a poxy 30-40 kb/s.)

They seem to have finished pushing the fibres through the drains and now new roadside boxes are appearing locally. It shouldn't be too long now before I can upgrade!

I still haven't found any small/cheap programmable Bluetooth keypads to use for virtual gear shifting. I will use my Bluetooth keyboard until I find something suitable.
