Zwift Chat

[<Tommy>]

I reckon it must. I know my L/R split is never (rarely) 50:50.

Mine is virtually always 47/53 in favour of my right leg. Which oddly (to me at least) is the one with the weaker knee.

But in Alan’s case it might well be that the weaker leg, if there is one, is the one being used for power readings.

The assioma uno is left side only. I kick with my right, usually just the dog but occasionally my son . I would alsways have assumed my leg left therefore to be slightly weaker.

I think the concesus is that weight doping or using an inaccurate pm is only a disservice to yourself and cheating yourself. I don’t remember getting any medals for my Zwift performances nor indeed kicking Ryan’s ass on bkool ...but maybe you lot can buy me pints if I ever make it to a IRL meet up🍻

When i had Quarq Riken R power meter balance measurement was only estimated kind. I am right handed but Riken R and also DZero is measured that my left leg dominates, last balance was 52/48. One way how i can be sure which side work more than the other is Elite E-training app where is pedal analyze measurement. It should draw peanut pattern if it's perfect.

I am still waiting for my Assioma Duo’s to arrive from Italy. Looking forward to comparing to the NEO and finding out what has happened to my leg power imbalance.

I am right footed - but generally my left side puts out more power on the bike most of the time. When I am pushing really hard, it seems to level up. No idea why.

Couldn't agree more. There’s something very tragic about cheating on a computer game that you just have to pity really.

Not sure about kicking your boy and your dog with your strongest foot though. Surely the weaker one will improve faster if you use it more 😄

If you have a bad day on Zwift someday because you feel fatigue in your legs i hope that doesn't tell that there is been a more domestic violence in your family

Yes but if he has a good day we have to buy him a beer apparently. Tough call....

Maybe but if Alan won the race we can buy a bottle of whiskey for him, because that won advertise Cyclechat as well

So, are we racing tonight? Or are you all peeling off to avoid racing fellow CC’rrs?

Problem Is weight doping etc is rife. I saw Sticky Dave Ransom faced it in a Kiss A 100km race the other day. It messes the races up and so the results even if found out and disqualified. Zwift have to take responsibility the way the big games companies now do with online games. It’s not always perfect and some games are better than others. Shame Zwift don’t yet have real enough competition to make them improve their offer.

You are on, wait by the finish line when you have finished, turn your bike around and watch me sprint for 684th place 👍😁

I'm aiming to join Tommy at 6pm too - well until he drops me on that first nasty hill about a mile into the race anyway!

Just cropped a couple of photos to try and show my power from last years Everything Bagel to this years ride

Top power chart is this years ride
