Thanks for replying Ryan, I was thinking of sitting on my bike and getting someone to secure the straps so that the tension
on the roller would be no different than when actually riding sat down, after I finish each ride I would release the straps but
mark them so as I could tighten them again myself before my next session, I also have my trainer on a wooden board but
at the moment its free standing, I would be interested to know how your friend finds it.

I have asked him to send me a mail with photo and a few lines what he thinks about it ..

Let me know how you get on Monte, I've tried Zwift on my Bkool but there is a 6 second or more lag, for example when sprinting speed stays the same then sprint finished and speed starts going up (very slowly). Also, I was doing 200watts at 80+ revs on the flat and speed was a constant 11mph.
I believe i've got it set up ok, and all looks good but until I get more accurate readings I won't joining! (did contact them about it but have had no reply)

Bonno,
May be a stupid question but have you unticked auto in bkool set up and then manually chosen the bkool trainer to enable the fec profile for Zwift? I get occasional delay in response but nowhere near 6 seconds and my speeds are ok.

I'm glad someone else is experiencing similar and it's not my paranoia... Going to do a session with the reality set to 75% as what's been recommended to try.

Just to ensure I'm not doing something daft, will also check my set up

Hi all chaingangers. Is there anyone who would be willing to start off the 5pm rerun for me. I've got to head out and won't be back in time.

 

[theboxers]

Well that all went pear shaped . I was 30 minutes or so into the chaingang stg 3 session when the phone goes, I am on call and left the phone in the kitchen . 5 minutes of conversation latter. Back on the bike but the ghosts and bots don't wait

What should have been

Looks like you've got the job bert! (Only applicant! )

As you said just start the session at five from the league tab and everyone joins from the Live tab. Remember to keep pedalling for the full warm up!

Much appreciated Bert

Just make sure there is a chaingang session scheduled before you try to find one in the league tab, @5, whilst sitting on the bike ready to go and find nothing.

I would do it, but I would like to join as a spectator today, and I don't think I would be able to do that if I enter as a participant.

Just out of bed and getting my coffee. I'll be setting up the refreshment tent at the end of the road. See you in Sitka.
