I saw you stopped halfway, getting a faster PC might not be a bad option

I stopped halfway because I gave up, no excuses[emoji15], forgot how hard these online races are.

But on the system I kept losing sync to the kickr every minute or so for up to 15s. Not fun when you look up and see you are going nowhere on the screen[emoji16]

Do you use Bluetooth or ANT+ to connect?

I use an Acer netbook with a single-core Atom CPU, with a Garmin ANT+ stick, and can't think that I've had problems syncing to the trainer (Tacx, in my case) before.

ANT+ dongle.

It has never happened using any other program, and in the Cyclops app, ONLY during online racing!

 

I have chatted to the guys about it before (only remembered last night after grabbing the old laptop), and the thoughts are that it pertains to the windows 32 bit application only.

 

Will try it on my 64 bit proper laptop next week, and while I am at it, will make use of the Bluetooth and see how it goes.

 

That might take care of the electronic gremlins.....now to find a quick fix for lack of endurance to last the whole race! :ph34r:

Hi guys. So finally got myself an indoor trainer. Snapped up a Tacx Bushido Smart trainer. It has Ant+ and bluetooth smart. Connecting to my iphone / ipad over bluetooth. But to use Zwift etc i need a Ant dongle it seems. What do guys recommend getting? Looking forward to joining some rides!
