If only!
I really don't think you'll have too much to worry about for a while keith. Hoping to work up to where we were a year ago though. Then the fun/suffering will begin.

First ride since the redesign and apart from choosing the wrong version of this week's ride so only one of my many ghost, unfortunately a slow one! I enjoyed it. The graphics are definitely sharper and the display at the bottom better. However, the speed fluctuated a bit too much, within a limited range a bit too sensitive. The distance to go on the particular gradient you are on, bottom right, counts down from 1km in meters but it just shows 1km from 1.9999kms to 1 km, tenth of a km would be nice above 1. I rode the video and it didn't lag once. All in all a good improvement and coupled with the improvement in connection we experienced about a year ago mean I would definitely recommend bkool again for anybody wanting a full indoor experience and not just racing. Now they just need to give me the last km super sprint speed that @BILL S seems to have. Btw @perswe says he'll be back at the end of October. I'm happy doing league admin so let's keep this going guys and have a great winter!

Quite an admission
"
Power correction in Pro / Pro2
The entire Bkool community is aware that the measurement of watts in these trainers was not, to date, very accurate."
Good to hear
Speed calculation
For this new version, the speed is calculated based on power, whether the home trainer is Bkool or not. It is likely that if you have a Bkool trainer at home you have already noticed a change concerning this data. The conditions are now more aligned with reality, but this is only the beginning and we will continue to improve

Not too shabby at all! Similar to my set up with the side shelf. Now you’ve just got to avoid piling a load of crap onto it.

That is interesting. To my mind that’s the most open they’ve ever been about the issues they’ve had. So that is positive.
Brusgaard maybe you could try and do a little test between your two turbos to a rough comparison if you have a chance.

Any chance you coming back and joining us on Thursday nights, we miss you, or at least we miss you putting the hurt on @AAAC 76C! Same goes for you @TurboTommy!

Hi Keith
Never say never! Although giving aaac competition might be a little optimistic. If they do level the playing field I’d love to come back and join the odd race with you guys if I’m free on a Saturday. There could be a chance it’s too little too late generally though unfortunately. It wouldn’t surprise me if we have 20+ riders racing on Thursdays in Zwift this winter. So Bkool may have missed the boat a little bit.

It wasn’t meant to show off my 3 bikes (The 1988 is older than your son) but the great insulation job I did. It’s a little sad that my collection can be captured with a single cell photo zoomed in whereas yours takes a full 10 minutes with a drone from 1000 feet.
Edit. Seriously if I put up chip board should I leave the plastic under it? The outside has house wrap under the t11.

You worried about condensation ? I would have thought it would be ok - the insulation should stop any cold spots that cause it - but I will ask Adam see what he thinks

A shed. It is 1/2 of a 16x8 with 2x4 walls and T111 siding. It has a 6 foot sliding door on the front and a 2x2 window on one side.
