Team BKool CycleChat

[txeng]

Hi everybody! This is Txeng from Spain, and perhaps i am one of those you are claiming about starting the same ride previously, i didnt wanted to confuse the people, i just started, because i had time before of the warm up, and i decided to check how was the ride and the first slopes to regulate myself.
I am so sorry if there was any confussion.
Anyway congratulations for your team, i didnt know about this forum and your team, but i realised that the first 3 in the race were from the same team!!! I was the 4th hahahahhaah
I just signed up, to say sorry. And sorry again because my english is not good enough.
See you on the next races.

So just tried a tacx trainer tyre on my noisy bkool...not as loud but there's a definite vibration the trainer seems to rock back and forwaRd too

Do you have access to a second bike? I have 2 a hybrid and a road bike. The hybrid creates more rumble than the road bike even though they are using the same tyre type, maxxis refuse 28's. Tyres are pumped to the max recommended 120psi.

Lesson learnt. I'll be sure to return to menu if numbers seem low/ wrong in next event.

The last few times i did a Bkool english race, it was started by someone with "BKool" in his name (don't recall the exact name). He/she drops out after the race starts and leave the pain and suffering for others

Yeah does the same on my cx bought the defy 3 specifically as a trainer bike....just bought a vortex smart....so the bkool will go in a cupboard somewhere....I'm still in credit really as I returned my kickr

Might have to give Zwift a whirl as it keeps getting mentioned. Is it a simple process to pair the Bkool with Zwift these days? Their website still says it isnt, but I thought it was now?

I got bored very quickly with just riding the course... however I am starting to explore the workout side.

What's happened to the chain gang at 7 there one listed but no one is there

Strange how some have no problems and others end up . I ended up with a late pre aug 2014 classic, bought about 2 weeks before the launch of the pro. I have had no problems. Granted the initial firmware it was on (1.13 iirc) was not too kind to me going up hills. However I can get to like the new firmware (2.04).

I have just completed another session I was booted from on the old firmware, Rosedale Chimney. Again I am surprised how quick I was . I will not complain about it.

I've lost faith in turbos lately they keep letting me down
