The Elite real trainers all work perfectly with Bkool - it;s just most of them cant simulate the steep hills. Buy a Bkool - you wont regret it!
Just completed another Bkool organised event - velodrome. Looked like over 40 riders on there - mayhem! Some serious Watts being kicked out by the lead guys.Great fun though I think I prefer the normal stage races.
I was hoping to get home in time to take part tonight (gutted), hope you kept up the cycle chat community, lol.
Did my best! 107% effort, but the top 4 guys were pushing out 467, 437, 372 and 344 watts so there was no chance of touching them!

Glad I was late home now, lol.
Yes and no. Tacx made a new series of trainers with similar names, but with "Smart" added to the name.
I just bought the Tacx Satori Smart, which should work with BKool.

Yep, was there cracking session.. Seems some confusion on the web over start times... try this for time translation if you need it http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/timezone/utc2
Fantastic effort, 5th place. 322 Watt - you were not that far behind.Did my best! 107% effort, but the top 4 guys were pushing out 467, 437, 372 and 344 watts so there was no chance of touching them!
Thanks Lars. Equated to about 2 laps behind the 4th placed guy though! Still, pleased with the watts I got regardless
Though I spotted your name in there! Think there were 3 cyclechat members in attendance
Just got the Tacx Satori Smart today, and it works with BKool (BSim). It doesn't pair the trainer, but rather the cadence and power transmitted from Tacx. The Satori can't set resistance itself, so BKool creates a virtual trainer for you and calculates speed on basis of the power.
I don't think one can set resistance manually for the 2 other "Smart" Tacx trainers, so I guess they have to pair as real trainers in order for it to make sense.
Anyone still got this "Not common at all bug" (according to bkool) where the count down timer to the ride finish is wildly optimistic throughout the ride but it still takes just as long anyway?
Bkool finally replied to me and want me to send them a download report.

I might do Glandon after work. Fauniera took 2 hours last time I did it.Would I be right in thinking that none of us can bring ourselves to do Fauniera and Glandon?
There's places to be won still and I'm thinking I probably won't be contesting as I'm feeling rather unfit. And it's too hot in my loft

Been doing other cycling so havent had the time to fit one in - Might try one tomorrow evening as tonights cycle will be a leisurely 15 miles with the wife.
They asked me to uninstall the software and reinstall to see if that fixes it. It didn't seem too bad on the velodrome last night but waiting til I get onto a proper stage before I can make a proper judgement. It still has the timing wrong for the rider placed behind me though, as it said I was over a minute ahead and then a lap later he was breathing down my neck!
