Team BKool CycleChat

any tips on using the search feature what ever I put in it never comes back with any rides

not sure if anyone else answered this, and not sure I can help either! Not sure whats happening if it always comes up with nothing! So this is on the website and down the left hand side where there are sliders for various option and a box for keywords near the bottom?

Hi Guy's - Just purchased my Bkool so will hopefully have it tomorrow looking forward to start getting involved in the leagues and races that you have and will hopefully lose a couple of kg's along the way!

Scott - I take it you are Scott Aikman on Bkool?

New here, but have used a classic on and off for the last year or so. Just starting to get some legs and losing some weight.

I would like to join the various leagues and such that you run. The 100 climbs look good to me not too long but still hard.

My bkool name is the same as here.

if you can find 'cyclechat mountain goats' on Bkool, just request to join up and we can add you.

- The toughest climb on Mallorca.

Strange...the whole video is available. Wish that was the case for all videos.

Try sticking to just partial names like "d'huez". Get the spelling wrong at all it won't show.

Just after some advice. My bkool trainer is on its way but my windows laptop I intend to use isn't working so my other alternative is to use an iPad air2. Does anyone use an iPad for the bkool simulator and how does it perform??

I have a score to settle with Crowcombe, it was a climb on a sportive I entered a few years ago - got off about half way and walked and I can't remember the last time I did that.

Getting half way is impressive! Crazy steep towards the top, I drove up to get the video I uploaded to Bkool and it was scary enough in the car.

Yes, partial names always works best.

"huez" will get you a few hits and then you just have to choose the right one. In the case of Alpe d'Huez you'll want the one which can be done in either 3D or as a video and that is probably best found with a bit of trial and error, and then added to your favorites.

Hopefully what I just sent you will help. It is Geoff's excellent and quick guide on how to set up a league. It helped me in getting the last goats leagues set up much better than the first few.

Thanks for those two Lars. I'll add them to the first Goats league that I'll probably set up this weekend.

just realised I spelt d'huez wrong there in my example - Ooops! T

I have now requested to join mountain goats and think i have joined the top 100 clmbs. Just need a bkool now! Has anyone got any advice on other things i may need to buy to get started other than what comes in the box? Thanks.

A USB extension cable for the Ant+ dongle and a large fan!
