I knew there were problems but Whorty suggested all is OK using a bkool trainer on Zwift.
It’s ok for a normal ride but for me it’s bugged on everything like workouts and races!

I've got a Bkool Pro and I've never experienced this problem in races. I've only done one workout ride and all was fine with that too. Sometimes I find a lack of resistance at the start of a ride, but I'e always found switching the trainer off at the plug and back on again sorts this out. There's already been plenty of discussion about the fact that the watts shown by the Bkool aren't always accurate and are often over-generous, but apart from this it works fine, and definitely never had the problem you describe.

Etap on a Bianchi? Kipster just threw up into his cornflakes!

On a side note... Pinarello’s just for fat dentists who quit playing golf? or for everyone?

Nominated for post of the day. Literally laughed out loud.

Nice one Dean. For some reason getting the tron bike has suddenly become more important to me

Well to be honest i felt like bailing a few times and in the back of my head i felt zwift wouldn't save like it did yesterday.
Got a couple of easy days commute then use the car for a few days bloody legs are sore now

Hi guys I went on Zwift today for a spin and everything was fine until......
I joined a group workout and as soon as I joined my bkool was so hard to pedal and I was on the easiest gearing and I couldn’t pedal as it was too difficult to reach 100 watt.
I’m using the Bkool Pro anybody else had this problem

I've noticed it when connecting with Bluetooth. The ant+ seems to work better with Zwift

Well done mate. Does it give you some performance advantage or just look cool as f#ck?

I think he gets a 20 second advantage on full Watopia course.

Nice one! I've got a long, long way to go and I don't think I'll be attempting to do it as quickly as you did either!

Yeah don’t get me wrong, even without any benefits it still looks awesome. How long did it take you to get it Dean?

 

[CXRAndy]

50,000 metres ~ 162,500 ft. I'm on 30,000 ft after a year

Edit Im on 55,000, still miles to go, 20.35 of vertical climbing miles to be precise

Im level 19 but in the last few weeks made a concerted effort to get it and so pushed hard last week.
Plus I wanted it before Bob

Yikes!

I was thinking it could be something to aim for over Christmas...

I have already done the altitude but didn’t realise I had to actually sign up for it so had to start all over again when I realised.
