Renier82 Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 hi all,I've been using the wattbike at the gym for quite some time, and was wondering what you guys and gals do to entertain yourself on longer rides?i tend to use the full length of the handlebars in the "aero" position (such as when I ride my TT bike). so the handlebar is fully occupied.I have both 7 and 10" tablets and was wondering if i could use a clamp mounting of some sorts to have my tablet there to run training programs, etc to make the ride more exciting.

Justriding Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 Hi Renier, I found that using the watt bike app not only keeps my mind busy trying to keep power consistent on the graph, hr in the right zone and cadence where it should be, but also ensures I get the most out of each session. I have attached a screen shot of watt it looks like. No boredom when doing a challenging workout! Sent from my SM-G935F using Tapatalk
Slowbee Posted May 16, 2017 Posted May 16, 2017 do you guys take your own bike measurements with you to set up the watt bike correctly?
milky4130 Posted May 17, 2017 Posted May 17, 2017 do you guys take your own bike measurements with you to set up the watt bike correctly?i tried that but it was never 100% then got someone that does professional bike setups to meet me at the gym & she set me up for R150.
