Has anyone used the Bkool app on Android?

Just picked up one of those android tv boxes off ebay to run it on and was wondering if it's any good?

I have used Bsim to watch rides on my phone, works OK. I have not used it for actually rides but, I don't see why it shouldn't work

I've used bsim on an a Samsung note pro tablet. It works exactly the same as on my pc, although some times the letters can drop out. I've had completed rides without issues.

55!!! I'm up to 55 and I haven't done a Summer Cup ride since Monday :huh:. At this rate I'll be in the top 50 by Sunday :ohmy:.

Thats it. My plan now is to not ride any more Summer Cup stages until the end of August and I may be in the top 30 or even top 20 :laugh:.

You'll soon be overtaking Pep Tatche. :highfive: He's still confused as to how your theory isn't working for him.:unsure:

Just noticed in the Summer league that Graham Ash is the highest ranking rider with a Kickr. - poor chap. :sad:

He has >40Watts more power than AAAC on most sessions and yet is over 4 mins down on most legs.

Come on Bkool sort it out!

I thought you were in this Bob! Or did you do that one stage just to show me how it should be done? :blush:

I honestly would love too- take part that is and certainly not show YOU how it is done! Fact is i am falling apart physically:rolleyes: My knee /leg flared up again after bike became disconnected from the turbo causing me to wrench knee and fall off into my loft cross beams :blush: The axle end must have slipped in the turbo housing. Hurt neck and back. I have to ride pretty much sat up which is rubbish. Anyway, feel suitably foolish. Family shouting up "YOU ALRIGHT!" I tell you, this turbo lark is sometimes more dangerous than riding on the road! So,no riding today just to see if recovery speeds up and then i may work through 4-6 of the rides before i go to Spain for 10 days on tuesday.
Another reason to get a kickr...just don't tell Mrs B:okay:

You weren't doing the Olympic road course by any chance? I knew it was jinx'd. :eek:

Hope nothing too major was damaged and you're back to full flow quickly :thumbsup:

No, having got all cocky with improving times in Zwift I decided i would try and push for a pb on one route and that's when i came a cropper. It was quite funny though;). I have decided not to take the bike to Spain just to give my ageing body a chance to recover from the stresses and strains you bloody lot make me put it through^_^ I will be in Asturias and so not to far from places where the Vuelta will pass :okay:
