Garfield2010 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Just remembered Ipad is sitting at 0% at home...and not plugged in...hopefully I can get it charged enough before 7....I should though. 7pm is a lekker time...suicide hour is done. Why not charge it while riding? I did that yesterday...
rouxtjie Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 Why not charge it while riding? I did that yesterday...Yea might have to....
Garfield2010 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Yea might have to....How fast do you ride?

Showtime Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 guys do you know, will any Ant+ adapter work between my Powerbeam pro and IPAD. i see there is Wahoo Tacx adapter available at CWC. I have that exact one it works perfectly.
Garfield2010 Posted June 23, 2014 Author Posted June 23, 2014 Can someone point me to where I can get more info on this? http://virtualtraining.cycleops.com/en/ You will need a trainer that changes resistance. Wahoo Kickr is a good option if you have the budget. Then you will need either a PC or a Tablet. It will either need Bluetooth 4.0 or you will need an ANT+2 adaptor. Honestly a tablet/I-pad with USB 4.0 is easier.

Thanks. all the above is great, the Garmin is not needed at all. if you have a CycleOps trainer (any trainer) and an ANT+ Speed/Cadence sensor you can sync this up to your iPad with a Wahoo ANT+ key and join the races, while power may not be 100% accurate it will give you an indicator. otherwise allot of the guys are using the PowerBeam Pro a high end A frame trainer that gives resistance and measures Power from R10 595.00

Guest Travis. Posted June 23, 2014 Posted June 23, 2014 I have a CycleOps Fluid2, with a garmin speed/cadence as well as an ANT+ dongle for PC. Will all of that suffice as a start? I'll download the software tonight and give it a shot.
