SwissVan Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Me and you are tjommies now, so I can check your diary and you can mine...So I click on your name and check what you have done Here is one I did.... http://my.virtualtraining.cycleops.com/en/rouxtjie/workout/239373 notice the black line on the graph...power Here is one of yours....no black power line or power reading only speed and altitude http://my.virtualtraining.cycleops.com/en/swissvan/workout/240295 Ah yes that ride was a real ride i did last week recorded on my garmin which i loaded onto the virtual thing... there are 2 rides on my diary both from my garmin (the other in june) i'm planning to use the routes for winter training and to compare the difference between real and virtual. I just checked and the ride i did yesterday on the powerbeam is not on the virtual diary, so yes the powerbeam / joule is not talking to the app / laptop.I think that was because i might have clicked "enter race" before downloading the route? I was able to watch the whole race but none of my stats were received. Does the joule computer have to be selected to a specific mode? After calibrating I was in a normal ride mode (i think).
rouxtjie Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 See rule #24 pleasethe one about riding scooters?

Maybe try and do a online route...not race and see if automatically sync's to VR site. This will test the whole chain.

Yup, will do AND definetly wont race... the engine room is moeg today after yesterday's effort...which is good i need to get used to race effort mode instead of LSD

Ja I suggest almost just like a test of everything...make sure you can see all the data on the screen(readings for all peripherals) and that it syncs automatically to the VR app. The lads killed me last night....talus is sneaky russian dog. He gives you just enough rope to hang yourself...jorrie and dave sommer break your spirit out of the blocks
jcza Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 the one about riding scooters?Nee man the one about measuring your ride in kilometres and not miles! Some big numbers there, thanks for publishing.
SwissVan Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 Nee man the one about measuring your ride in kilometres and not miles! Some big numbers there, thanks for publishing. Yes rouxtjie u need to change the metrics your screen view of my ride is in miles and mine is in km...
TALUS Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I am an old diesel. Takes a long time to warm up and cannot rev at all. Chuck-chuck all the way.
SwissVan Posted September 17, 2014 Posted September 17, 2014 I am an old diesel. Takes a long time to warm up and cannot rev at all. Chuck-chuck all the way. Thats my excuse...but i'm going to try rewire my rev limiter over the next 6 months
Grey Hubs Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Nice racing chaps. Missed the deadline by 15min, so did a solo ride as a train...you boys are quick! Thinking of upgrading my MTB rear wheel so I can go faster!
TALUS Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 The best tip so far (from Dips): put the fan behind you.
Mr X Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Is it possible to "sit wiel"? Is slipstreaming and wind resistance simulated well? Because "wiel sit" is the only way I know how to ride on the road and if this aspect is simulated effectively I will join the party.

Mr X Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 You ride in a vacuum...soz man, no sitting on wheels. Cycling simulation with no wind resistance, really? I can only "sit wiel" I don`t know other ways to ride.
