I thought you'd be trying to encourage more splitters not scare them away ..... suggesting the pretzel as a first ride on Zwift

Moi?

Sorry to hear that Dean. I just don’t get them even when 1000’s riding and or big events. Remind us of your setup and perhaps we can help sort them out.

I'm hoping I've sorted it out now, brought the pc down from the loft and put it near the neo so the dongal is 3 feet from the trainer and HR monitor.

It was plugged into a usb extension lead and about 6 foot away fawless untill now extremely frustrating needless to say valintines night didnt go to well

You should bring your dongle closer

Been having some knee pain of late when on the turbo, no changes to bike set up but pain behind the left knee. Set about a few changes to saddle height and brought it a touch forward, but no difference. Noticed leg was tracking out slightly and wasn't sure why. Had a few days off work and took a look over. All bike measurements were spot on, took a look at the shoes, the cleats were a little worn. Put the shoes on the pedals and there was a lot of lateral play, tightened the pedals up a bit but still a lot of play. Couldn't get the cleats off (cx bike so mtb pedals and cleats, done a bit of off roading with them and they are well and truly stuck at the moment), so swapped over to the look pedals and road shoes, no pain at all on a 75 minute turbo ride and leg tracking perfectly again.

Funny how the overlooked things can make a massive difference.

NEO watts are hard sometimes. 5 days off the bike so joined a bike radar training ride but the description was all wrong. It was a group ride barely 2w/k. So I went off on my own for 50min. Only 212w average but bang on 3w/k with little to no drafting and I am knackered. May buy a vortex. Or a Pro.

Im not looking forward to upping my watts after a layoff. I've got 3 weeks to find most of my fitness for Tenerife. I need to lose 3/4lb to drop into sub 200lb bracket.

"Neo watts"?! So.......just actual watts then?
