TALUS Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 Like any true cyclist that has a deep longing to improve, I am already contemplating my next move while drinking a quart of Castle Light.
Jaco-fiets Posted July 8, 2014 Posted July 8, 2014 You guys buggered me up big time. Took half a bottle of Port to recover. Bit out of your league. Cant remember when last I avg 178bpm over 52min. Well done guys. Reckon my race tomorrow evening will have to be in the endurance or temp zone otherwise I might not make it. Reckon this will do wonders to my fitness
rouxtjie Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 Some of my stats... bpm = avg 162rpm = avg 74speed = avg 34.6km/hpower = avg 250W This was a sufferfest of epic proportions....I had ernst.foster pulling away from me little by little on the front and cobus wessels and jaco bitting on my heals. Loved life response and feeback was 10 times better than a previous race dave....awesome. Big thanks to you and the dev team listening to our feedback. It also seems the pc version is working lekker now. Getting one of these trainers is probably the best money spent on cycling stuffs. We suffer like dogs in the week and play on the weekends

fandacious Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 guys - quick question does this take rider weight into account, or does it ONLY measure power output and base it on that?
Jakkals. Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 guys - quick question does this take rider weight into account, or does it ONLY measure power output and base it on that? I think lightweights will battle with this. I could be wrong but I dont think it uses w/kg.
fandacious Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 I think lightweights will battle with this. I could be wrong but I dont think it uses w/kg. ah ok... so either way its flawed. if they ask the riders to enter their weight, then its easy to cheat the system. If they dont base it on weight, then lighter riders will get beaten every time
rouxtjie Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 guys - quick question does this take rider weight into account, or does it ONLY measure power output and base it on that?Hi Fand Yes it does take rider weight into account...here is a rough explanation of how it determines your speed on a course Rider weight + Bike Weight + current slope = Speed This means that your wheel might be spinning at 20km/h but your output speed on the screen is 15km/h as an example. This makes it as fair as possible on everyone. Now of course people can cheat the system and input a weight of 55kg whilst they eating away on pies, but they only cheating themselves. My bike weight and physical weight exactly matches what they are in real life
rouxtjie Posted July 9, 2014 Posted July 9, 2014 ah ok... so either way its flawed. if they ask the riders to enter their weight, then its easy to cheat the system. If they dont base it on weight, then lighter riders will get beaten every timeNope the lighter riders beat us....true story. just like they would in real life PS Sure they can cheat....but with it being VR, you are only cheating yourself
