I had to lower my graphics drastically to make it run. Altough its not a game computer, it's definitly not a slow computer, but it freezes while riding.
Just get a Ryet 3D Printed saddle from China for 30 bucks. The plastic versions will offer more comfort than the carbon ones. There is no need to buy expensive foam saddles anymore the all plastic ones are more comfortable.
@@mattiasgriot Yes, it's amazing. It's a knockoff of the latest 400 dollar 3D printed saddles, except its more comfortable being plastic and cromoly instead of full carbon. I had the foam version of the Fizik Argo Tempo which is what the Ryet is a copy of, and there is no comparison, the Ryet is way better in reducing pressure.
You can use a lower difficulty setting to cheat. I gave it a try. I am an "A Rider" according to Zwift Power. I did the Zwift Fondo many months back and set my trainer difficulty to Zero. Once the course hit that front range climb that can take you to either the jungle or epic reverse, the attack begins. With Zero difficulty I was able to turn the Grade into zero instead of 10%. I was nailing 400 plus watts for that 2 mins or so and kept with the front. Normally at 100% trainer difficulty my legs can't deal with the amount of torque required to produce 400 plus watts for 2 mins on a 10% grade. Certainly not without standing and stomping. In real life you can't just opt to reduce or eliminate a grade. The best you can do is to choose a different cassette option for the IRL Event. However it is not the same a Zero Percent Trainer Difficulty. If you want to be strong when it is time to get on the road, use 100% Trainer Difficulty. Especially if you want to climb strong IRL.
for me i was faster up hill @ 50% but seemed to have drag on the flat and downhill ... @ 100% the ride felt more realistic 5% hill felt like 5% and downhills fast .... wahoo kickr
Not planning your route - I was guilty of just "Going out and riding" without really knowing where I was going or how far I was going to go or even what a safer route would be for surface streets.
People don't seem to understand that pushing say 300 watts on the flat is the Not the same as pushing 300 up a gradient 😂 I can tell you that it's a lot harder on max difficulty setting than say 50%
Fully agree. I got a new indoor bike over Christmas and had TD on 100% up until ydays ride. Prior, I had my old indoor bike on about 35/40% TD. Old bike time up AdZ - 42min New bike time up AdZ - 58min. Night and day difference. You’ve still got to put the watts out but on 100% TD I’ve been struggling to do so. Don’t know why. Old bike pace group was A. New bike pace group is B haha. I feel like my FTP is a myth right now. Hoping now I’ve dropped TD on my new bike I’ll stop struggling. Someone explained TD to me like you feel every single bump on 100% so that’s why it’ll feel more taxing (even though watts are watts) haha it’s a mad one.
@@F1TZGER4LD yea for me running a 53/39 sweet spot is around 80% anything higher either my Turbo struggles or am grinding. But the resistance changes so it's harder to put the watts down for sure. Like going into a headwind pushing the watts or having a tailwind pushing the watts. As you say watts are watts but resistance is different so it's harder. Thats my take on it anyway 😂
@@benturp3492 I definitely agree mate. I came on this video to look for your exact comment 😂 buzzing I found it. Now I can stop feeling guilty or like I’m cheating by lowering my TD 😅😂
The better way to do this is with two copies of Zwift with two accounts (for a short climb free account should suffice) on two systems. Pair both via Ant to your trainer or power meter. Start both avatars in the same location (you can adjust position in a single game by going into pair mode in the other.) Once both avatars are positioned in the same location, both paired, start your test. Both games will receive the same power data assuming no dropouts. If dropouts are an issue, use a trainer that can support multiple BLE connections (e.g. Wahoo Kickr) and pair both games using BLE.
It depends on what you are using Zwift for, which can be different between sessions. If you want to train to ride IRL (especially climbs) then it makes sense to go 100% because the real world has no difficulty setting and you will run out of spinning gears so learning how to vairy your cadence is important. If your focus is overall fitness or achievement within the game it doesn't matter, its not cheating and you should go with what feels best and/or more realistic to you.
Agreed. I used to be a 100% TD diehard but I've found for just riding around on Zwift, 50-75% seems pretty good. 100% is great to train for spinning or grinding up climbs (36/32 at 100% TD is no fun going up Ventoux). Even then, I'll back it off and just not use the biggest cog or two to keep the trainer spinning and overheating. 85kg going up a 10% grade for an hour really taxes the trainer.
When in ergo the program doesn’t put any gradients and only controls the power. Do this same test normal mode and you’ll see that the feeling is quite different.
It's just way of altering gearing that is all in other words, if you've got a bicycle that's got high gears and you put it on the trainer. You alter the difficulty and you've got a differentr geared bike. People forget it's only a game. As for me I don't race at all and I'm quite happy to alter the training difficulty to make it easie.r
Thanks for the video. I personally wouldn’t use Mywhoosh for the simple reason that it is financed by the UAE,a country with a less than perfect human rights record. Even though it is free, I have not downloaded it and don’t intend to use it.
The problem I have with it is that it's impossible to get full information about routes before actually riding them. No detailed gradient profiles for the climbs, so I can't plan a ride for training and know how to pace it. Also, it still seems to be buggy. Currently I can't login at all after doing a password reset (it thinks I'm already logged in until it decides that I'm not, but won't take me to the login page...)
Yes, the information is quite sparse, I talked about the non existent info of the levelling system in the video. MyWhoosh have some work to do on the user side, while Zwift seems to have some trouble in other areas.
Tried it. It’s ok, but a bit empty. Planning to use it in spring, summer and fall as an alternative to being outside. Guess I’ll stick with Zwift for the winter season.
Yes agree, quite empty. Also the rendering in the app was a bit sketchy, maybe hardware issue but Zwift is more stable. Did a route in Belgium and one in Australia and they almost felt the same graphically. As long as it is free it is an ok alternative if you don't want to pay for Zwift during the summer.
Yes, it is ok. Lack some functions for "serious" training though. Guess the Vantage is better in that aspect? Used the Unite on my bike for a little while but now I changed to a Garmin Edge.
Jonas Gross Har inte hunnit med att hårdtesta den som actionkamera. Dock använt den vid lite lugnare aktivitet såsom promenad. Ok bildkvalitet. Stabiliseringen sådär..bättre än utan men inte värt att köpa kameran utifrån stabiliseringen.
