Anyone checked out CycleQuest?
I downloaded it but couldn’t get it to
Function . It doesn’t look like it was worth any effort to get it to work. It as 2.2 gig and took forever to load.

I’ve downloaded the IPhone app and it loaded pretty quickly looks quite good to be fair

Just noticed same news. Interesting times we live. Article in a link below. First Rouvy bought Bkool and now Zwift bought Rouvy.

Ive heard that Zwift hardware/ virtual shifting will become available on Rouvy in time once compatibility has been ironed out

I have heard that as well when I asked about that last November.

The zwift cog and click available for 9.99 as a deal. Anyone got one and how does it work/compatibility with neo2t?

Virtual shifting with Rouvy works for me. I just put a numbers pad on the handlebars and press the +/- to change gear.

When I got the email I wondered if I should buy it because it was cheap. But I'm not sure what the advantage would be. I have the exact same cassette on my kickr as my wheel so the shifting is dialed in.
Someone in here should try it and report how it works.. Come on, its only 10 bucks.

Well I bought it so I will update whenever I get it installed...
Can't go wrong for the cost really, less that a litre of petrol

First Rouvy bought Bkool and now Zwift bought Rouvy.

And Rouvy had already acquired Fulgaz which is now also under Zwift ownership. This all feels a tad monopolistic for my liking.

MyWoosh is competition for Zwift, but what are the alternatives for Rouvy/Fulgaz/Bkool?

I use virtual shifting on my Tacx Neo 2 with Zwift play controls

I don't use the the Zwift cog, I just leave the bike gearing on middle of the cass for best chain alignment.

The shifting is quick, smooth.

Check if your version of Kickr is compatible for virtual shifts on Zwift website

I use the option for 2x12 gearing, which is 24 available gear changes. The right button harder gear select and left easier.

You will have also on screen gear indicator
