Yes, I kept losing connection which was really annoying as you disappeared from my session and whilst I had the erroneous @microkid ghost for reference I was more interested in you. Good luck on the final stage, I'll do my best to try to get the two minutes back but it is a big ask. Any chance of you being there on Thursday I don't think I'll be able to do it twice and would like to do it at the same time as you.
You saying that me not being able to get into my front 34 ring, and being stuck in the 50, is not going to be pleasant?!? I'm hoping I can grind up in 50/32 (and the cross chain doesn't complain too much
)
Pleasant is completely off the scale... At the wrong end. My 36/28 was turning squares! Great to have you back btw!You saying that me not being able to get into my front 34 ring, and being stuck in the 50, is not going to be pleasant?!? I'm hoping I can grind up in 50/32 (and the cross chain doesn't complain too much
I've heard of crazy dudes who ride single speed bikes for long rides.
I heard it was mostly because they were too idle to change gears
I just did it as well only on the beta version. I’m going to say that last ramp cost me 5 minutes... seriously I geared down and it wasn’t too bad.
The team is the team.
I propose penalties for anybody who isn't in our team!
Why would anyone do that
I am a spanner what can I say.. 
) and it was painful (still) - with the gears, I was always in the wrong one, the signal from the BSim takes an age to change gradient (incline and decline) so looking at the upcoming % isn't enough, if you're changing from flat to 4% and drop a load of cogs then you'll be almost freewheeling until the 4% lands like a brick wall so instead you have to just wait for the pain then react to it. Bkool say they're in the process of "certifying it" so hopefully it's part of their 'focus' on software and wont take too long. Having said all that it does seem to register watts more quickly than the Tacx and more of them 👍 so a more competitive time but my ave HR was 10BPM higher - that's more to do with being chased by my own ghost though so not really a useful power comparison.👻👻👻👻
I agree, bkool gear changing is a sensitive skill. Working out where in this section the change is going to kick in and if you need to change down or try and power through. Generally if the profile shows its a long climb, more than 300m, then I'm changing down and into the small ring of its over 5%. Di2 is a big help for me, taking me down 4 sprockets in one shift if I need it due to miscalculation. I also try, try being the operative word, to stand and put siren more power on the last section of a climb getting prepped for the downhill as I find I can lose a bucket full of watts once the gradient changes from up to down and it's hard to recapture watts on a descent. Thursday will test the gear changes to the max.!
I could lie and say I wanted to take one for the team but actually I wanted a painfully undulating course to test out how truly bad the lunatic gears are on my new toy (Wattbike Atom, birthday present last week from HID
