  1. I guess it depends on what kind of workout you're trying to do. If you find the right pace partner then steady state is very possible. You might just yo-yo off the front but once you hit the wind the group will catch you, you'll sit in the draft and go off the front again. Rinse and repeat. I think the best kind of work out for pace partner rides is short 15-30 second sprints off the front, then sit up, get caught, recover, repeat. Anything like 5 minute VO2max sessions and you'll just drop the group entirely and not benefit from that sweet sweet drops multiplier
  2. De Bod, Hatherly, Reinardt JvR, Pritzen aaaand Munton. Some big hitters for sure! Should make for some very exciting racing. The last 20km probably doesn't suit a solo rider, but a strong breakaway on the last climb could hold off a peloton. 🤷‍♀️ Excited to see how things pan out
  3. Not sure if I'm excited or terrified but something is happening...
  4. Ah man, I remember old Deefs. The king of photoshop. I had many good laughs at that man's expense
  5. I used my phone as a mobile hotspot once when my wifi was being funny and over 2 hours it didnt use more than 100MB. That's for Zwift, I can't comment on MyWhoosh but seeing as a lot of stuff is done server-side I'd imagine it would use marginally more
  6. Before doing anything you might regret, try cutting strips of kinesio tape and applying it to the levers. It's designed to still adhere in wet conditions, it's cheap, and a whole roll will last you years
  7. Sheesh, they aren't shy with their minimum specs hey! I'm grateful that Zwift runs on my potato PC
  8. Let us know how it goes. I looked into it a little while ago and it looks like they've pumped a lot of money into it recently. Apparently they have some of the biggest prize purses in e-racing and have serious ambitions of taking over the professional scene
  9. Congrats! For the 100 mile kit, join a double draft group ride/event and you'll be done in 4 hours. Just have plenty of fluids on hand haha!
  10. Many roads lead to the rainbow bands, but not all rainbow bands are equal. Gravel is a thing you do on a bicycle so if that's your jam I support you, get out there and ride a bike, but having a world championship for something isn't going to validate it in the eyes of the naysayers.
  11. This looks like an older model but this guy had some luck, but like JA-Q001 said getting hold of the batteries is nigh on impossible and putting batteries on airplanes is frowned upon
  12. Hey guys, I'm looking for an 8 speed MTB rear derailleur. A friend's sister had a checkers packet fly into her drivetrain yesterday and as a result of everything getting clogged up the derailleur snapped in half. Drop me a PM if you have one you want to get rid of and we can talk prices etc. I'd just like to get her back on the road. I'm sure 9 speed would work too
  13. +1 for a USB extension. Wrap the dongle and the socket in clingwrap for errant sweat drops and put it right by the trainer
  14. Well I'll be damned! Gravel bike owners rejoice!
  15. Yup, pressing 'A' brings up the pairing screen and causes your avatar to hit the brakes (you can only change bikes when you are at a standstill). Then you can hit 'T' to bring up the garage, select your new frame, then start pedaling immediately (even before you close the window) to get going again. Unless they've changed things the gravel bike will always be slower than the MTB on dirt. Things night even out on a mixed course but mostly there is no good reason to use a gravel bike
  16. This! If it's past it's "Best Before" date it's unlikely to be harmful but it might have degraded from a nutritional perspective. Either that or it will mutate into a powerful performance enhancing drug as hinted at earlier in the thread
  17. I did all my zone 2 work during ToW. Just unpaired my trainer, set my wattage via the Wahoo app and watched TV. Big XP! I've gone from level 34 to halfway through level 36. I'll keep doing that through all the makeup days
  18. It's unfortunately a know bug that doesn't seem to have been patched yet The 2 solutions I've seen online are: 1) Run the game in windowed mode. 2) Clear all the existing pictures in the Zwift screenshot folder (Found in Documents/Zwift)
  19. Could you not just unpair the HRM on the Device screen? Otherwise a well placed piece of masking tape will probably do the trick too
  20. Hey guys, I'm looking for a cheap and nasty road bike front hub. It's doesn't even need to be working, just the right width, and QR. It's going to be part of an adjustable indoor trainer wheel stand I'm making. Please drop me a PM if you have anything lying around. Shot
  21. Descending like that is an art form and a beautiful thing to watch!
  22. Just putting out some feelers here... My Cat B ZRL team is doing pretty well in our division. I've finished 1st, 1st, 2nd in the 3 points races but we seem to always screw the pooch in the TTTs. So despite winning each of the points races we're only 4th in the league, about 4 points off top spot. Part of our problem is that there are only 6 of us available at any one time so on TTT day we cobble together a team. Another problem is that I'm not built for TT, I'm light and while my wkg is good my raw wattage is not amazing Is anyone interested in helping out a struggling team? I'm talking to the heavy wattage monsters who don't meet the 4W/kg requirement for Cat A. We generally try and hold 5W/kg on the front for 30s-1 minute. We have a DS who coordinates everything via Discord which is very handy. Drop me a PM with your ZwiftPower profile if you're interested in lending a helping hand! Oh, we race at 20:18 on Tuesday with an 8 minute delay
