DIPSLICK Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Doesn't want to load now, so now I am not sure mine says 9m to go LOL
SwissVan Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 Mine said you won lol I like yoursmine shows frostie 1st then myself and u 3 rd I think its a plot to make us go harder
DIPSLICK Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 What was funny for me was the power readings coming through tonight put me at about 4th cause everyone's power looked higher as it updated, and mine was low,,,all I know is the positions changed a few times making me push hard, I won't lie and say I don't care about position, but the fact that we "look" close makes me push harder than I would normally push on my own on a trainer,,,so it's win win
TALUS Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 I think its a plot to make us go harder NOOOOOOO!!!!

McD23 Posted September 25, 2014 Posted September 25, 2014 but I think I know what to do at least for next race.
BicyclePower Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Started the race, but pulled out. Powerbeam making a noise. Ping......DaveSorry to hear that, Please may you send us a sound clip of your trainer to info at bicyclepower.co.za, we will try and diagnose it that way and offer some suggestions to fix it, as I see you are in Bloem...
SwissVan Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Desktop version : How is the video quality of down loaded routes on the tablets? On Desktop it reminds me of a slide show. Again very disapointed. I'm using the desktop app on my laptop and have only done one route with a video (Gordons bay) and it worked 100%, no slide show effect at all. During the race last night i used my lap top again but changed from map to Satelite view and zoomed in closer, this was a bit like a slide show in that it was not continualy moving like a video but instead moved in "smooth jumps" every few seconds... but it was still good enough. Only issue i had was i could not clearly see where or who was just behind me (it just showed a number and not a user name and they were so close that my username sometimes went over the numbers).

Have done it and got feedback already. That is what makes your product so good. They think it has something to do with the magnets and I must ride for 30 seconds on a 15% gradient or at 800 watts. My skinny chicken legs will get wrapped around my neck trying this, so I have arranged with the guys at Cycle World here in Bloem to do it for me tomorrow morning. They have one or two guys with washing machine motors in their legs. If all fails, I am going to be in Jhb end of October. Will let you guys know the outcome. Anyone know offhand of a route I can download to help achieve this.
BicyclePower Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 It may not have to be that high, but the idea is to get as much resistance as you can possibly turn over hence we said 800W, this generally helps by resetting the motor that moves the magnets as when you back off the resistance it will allow the magnets to clear the drum that houses them. To get the resistance/gradient that high you go into freeride mode and set the target power as high as it will go, ride it at that for 30 secs or as long as possible and bring the resistance back down - sorry, I am repeating my mail to you but this may be of some help to others if the same thing happens. If you don't come right and can't wait then drop us a mail and we can arrange to get the unit up to us to try and sort out.
TALUS Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 I received awesome service from Dave yesterday as well.My dongle appeared to malfunction. He sent me the links to reinstall the drivers. Worked like a charm. The slide effect is only visible on Google earth for me. I download most of the videos beforehand. No problem then.
Mongoose! Posted September 26, 2014 Posted September 26, 2014 Slide show effect on videos This from down loaded videos - thus no online connection. Can it be that my laptop is not powerfull enough It is a small Asus Eee PC duel core1 gig ram Will it make any difference if I use the HDMI connection in sted? Have a feeling the 1 gig ram is too little??? Is it possible to download a spesific video player perhaps so that Virtual Trainer use that when playing the video's? Seems like I am the only one with the problem. Thus I am doing something wrong...lol
