Zwift Chat

I see the sl9 is on zwift now and fastest frame (very slightly) not sure I could be bothered upgrading when it only mildly beats the sl8. I guess in time I probably will

Inevitable, really, they’ve got to keep making incentives for people to buy and then upgrade these bikes…

Hey @Norry1
I saw a press release that your company has partnered with robotics and AI companies using joint technology.
Hmmm, just coincidence that after your hip replacement you are kicking ass?

Will be interesting to see what they do with it.

Interesting commentary here https://the5krunner.com/2026/07/22/garmin-acquires-trainingpeaks-what-changes/

Big picture suggestion is total dominance in the activity data sphere, which makes sense. But the whole "using the training data for improving AI systems" is also a compelling argument.

What happens to TPV remains to be seen, but George Gilbert seems to think things are going to go forward quickly.

Anyone else having drop outs on the Paris races? Twice now (out of 2) I've lost connection to the bike/HRM at exactly the same point on the course. The down section after the Arc ... twice I've been in a group doing 45+ kph, then suddenly no connection, avatar stops, and I have to reconnect everything. By then I'm 25 seconds down and growing.
Both ZRS races so it's tanked my score, so I shouldn't complain lol ...

I seem to recall having the same issue a couple of years ago on Paris, always the exact same place on the course, but only in races. I ride the route as a free ride and it never drops out.
Means I can't race Paris which is a shame as it's a great course (apart from the hill, I'm keen on that haha)
