I had this and got round it by deleting my log in and then restarting BSim. It then allowed me to update and then relog in - remembering to tick the remember password box

And what version of BSim/Trainer SW are you on now.

Thats the trainer FW what does it say near the bottom against PUN
Must admit though I am on 3.10 so my trainer is behind.
I'll be p'd of it I can't get updates as that's why I bought a new trainer.

Yep, as Perky says version 3.11.

I had the same with my PC at work - it either didn't prompt for the update or it flashed up and disappeared too quickly to do anything about it. I just re-opened it a few times and eventually it did prompt properly for the update and it worked.

I have used chat with Monte once - using laptop mic and speakers. It worked, but it really wasn't loud enough over the sound of the trainer so we really had to shout to make ourselves heard. I got complaints from the family! haven't used it since!

 

[bridgy]

Are we saying that it is better to use a normal road tyre than a turbo tyre?? Don't they shred easily?

I've only ever used road tyres. I've got through 2 in a year of quite heavy usage - obviously don't know how they compare to trainer tyres for robustness or performance

Sitting here on the train and getting 'you've been beaten ' emails off @Goldwolfie and nothing I can do about it

@Whorty - I wouldn't worry, those ghosts were from last December and we've all improved since then - I even beat my own ghost by 9 minutes. I challenged Jim as he was the only one with a time in the League results and it pulled all our old rides.

I did the handicap this evening with the updated BSim and bizarrely my time has shown up in the league stage results

Same as bridgy......only ever used road tyres. Michellin pro 3's which last about a year of abuse and now on continental sport ultras which feel really grippy but have only done 2or 3 flat workouts so far. They don't shred as much as you'd think! £13 each from planet X

well that looks easy doesn't it

Managed to fall off a treadmill running once, can see no chance of me spending more than 20 seconds upright on this.

I may put one of my old continental gatorskin on instead of the continental home trainer tyres I have always used to compare

Did the Spanish route as well as Bristol one 2night. I made the list for the first time. Nice to be in a league where these things work without any hastle. Hats off.

Impressed by the other rider's times especially on the Bristol route. I had no speed up the aggressive steep sections. I blame it on the recent Bsim SW upgrade because Bugno would never lose speed .
