Hi guys, So I've been using my Wahoo Kickr (direct drive) with my dual suspension MTB (1 x 12) for about 2 or so years now without any issues. Currently doing training plans on Zwift with ERG mode and to date have been able to produce the required power for the plan I'm doing. The Mrs won't allow another bike in the house so this is out of the question. Front and rear are both locked out but still seeing about 20% travel on rear suspension. Not really concerned about travel on front fork. I'm not planning on riding on the road so my focus remains trail riding. Question time: Am I do myself a disservice with my current setup in terms of training/gaining power due to the squish factor?Is my current setup simulating MTB riding which has some squish and should be left as is?Should I add air to my rear suspension to completely stiffen it up (based on Fox's guidelines)?I have noticed that in Zwift races, it's really hard to put the power down and does feel like i'm losing out here. Any other feedback would be great, thanks
Hi guys, I noticed that no one has posted anything about the Zwift L'Etape du Tour and was wondering what you guys thought of it... Stage 1: 30.32 km/682 m Stage 2: 47.61 km/309 m Stage 3: 21.85 km/1535 m I thought that stage 2 last week was rough considering that it was a full out sprint for 47k's and the last stage was just brutal! The new France World is a nice addition. Considering the ZAR's we pay, I wish Zwift would add more worlds, more often. How did you guys find it?
As there is a good chance we might be in lockdown at some point and to be able to keep training, nice inititive from RGT Cycling Virtual cycling simulator RGT Cycling (Road Grand Tours Cycling) has announced that, in response to the global coronavirus pandemic, it is now free to use for all once again, having moved to a subscription model https://www.bikeradar.com/news/rgt-cycling-free-coronavirus/
Hi Hubbers! Now that the chill is upon us in Gangsta's Paradise, some (like me) will retreat to their Winter Pain Caves (or local VA). Just before LÉTape I followed one of Hunter Allen's 8 week Sportive training programs and it kept me occupied abd motivated. A few club members have told me about Training Peaks and TrainerRoad. To those who use these (or any other paid service), what do you guys recommend? Also, I only have an Andriod phone, not a tablet!
