Tire slips on me aswell when out of the saddle which can be annoying, and I use a trainer tire as well.
The bots can be insane I tryed the amateur+ and they beat me even at the point of me being almost sick.

On a side note what gearing are we all using? I have a standard double 39-52 with a 28-11on the back

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I'm not sure of my ratios , its a compact standard bianchi.issue that came as stock on the bike, a c2c via nirone alu carb veloce 2008 groupset.
I haven't adjusted the default setting in bkool so I'm riding it on the default ratios...I'm just guessing they match.

Also we should set the wind resistance the same maybe???? I suggest zero wind, any objections?? Lol!

50-39-30 triple with an 11-28 cassette.
And I use all of it, indoors and out.

What is this default setting of which you speak?
Definitely no wind. It's hard enough without it.

There is the option to set your bkool to the ratios on your bike. It throws up a set of ratios which you can change, but I just left it as it was.

you need to go to create a plan then follow it through.

the defaults are:

Chain ring 52/39
sprokette (cassette) 28/13
Wheel diameter 700c

you can adjust those in the drop down boxes.

Got it. Thanks.
I don't have a plan, so I hadn't seen that.

 

[BigonaBianchi]

I have a plan...except I'm not following it...

I ordered a bkool trainer before I found you guys had set up a group, so I'm counting the group as another perk of getting one. It's a christmas present from the wife so I can't play with it until next week but I'm looking forward to joining in, get ready for stupid questions

 

[BigonaBianchi]

Welcome Kipster!

I think we are all pretty much still in.the stupid question stage ..I know i am lol!

Still learning the thing to be honest.

You can join the group before Xmas, set up your profile and even choose some rides to do. Then, come the day, you'll be in the saddle sooner.
It also makes the learning curve a bit less steep .
