kjind Posted January 10, 2020 Share Hi All I have a question. I just bought a wahoo kickr and the setup is done on Zwift.The resistance seems too much. The harder I peddle the more it becomes to the point where I can almost stand on the pedal. Is this a setting issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doing a spin down using the Wahoo utility app sorted it for me. I do a spin down every week. BigDL 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjind Posted January 10, 2020 Share I have tried that several times. the minute is start a training ride (in any app) the problem starts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markellis Posted January 10, 2020 Share That's odd, I'm guessing you already tried unplugging the Kickr for a while and plugging not back in and doing a spin down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjind Posted January 10, 2020 Share Yup. Spin down seem to work well. The minute I start any training ride the resistance builds up a lot.In the Wahoo app and ZwiftI have tried changing the difficulty setting but it doesn't help.Can it be a hardware issue?

Markellis Posted January 10, 2020 Share Best bet is to message user Christian van Zyl. He is the Wahoo man. Good luck kjind 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Land Posted January 10, 2020 Share Hi, had the same experience when I got my trainer recently and I started up a workout in swift with ERG mode enabled. Basically came to a grinding halt, did some googling and read this article which does a good job explaining ERG mode and the dreaded 'spiral of death' - the attached video is also very informative. Hope this helps ???????? https://zwiftinsider.com/erg-mode-in-zwift/ Edited January 10, 2020 by Land Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kjind Posted January 11, 2020 Share Hi I figured it out. I downloaded the wrong Wahoo app.All working now. Thanks for the help. Markellis 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaco-fiets Posted January 16, 2020 Share When using Zwift I have it set that my power source is my stages and my smart trainer is just my controllable. Do I still have to do a spin down or calibration of kickr. How do I calibrate my kickr in Zwift anyway? On trainer road I use my stages as power source as well but I still calibrate my kickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stiggy Posted January 16, 2020 Share Hi guys Has anyone experienced "No signal" issues.On the screen to select supporting device, Zwift recognises my Wahoo Snap 2, but there is a bold "No signal" across it. Also on the setting page, there is no place to adjust trainer difficulty. Are these two issues related? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madbradd Posted January 16, 2020 Share Hi I have not set up my Ant+, only using bluetooth What device are you using? full bluetooth compatibility was not an option for ages and was recently introduced (I used to need an Ant-Stick for Zwift on my Mac, or Bluetooth through the Companion App but now it pairs with Bluetooth directly to the Mac) And did you "pair" your sensor while using the Zwift Companion app? If so, then you need the Companion app open to pair as it used your phone's bluetooth connection. You may need to switch off Companion App and pair the trainer again using the device bluetooth connection directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HdB Posted January 16, 2020 Share Also, check what other devices you have connected, and perhaps test making sure your trainer connects first, or last. I'm on the Android version using my tablet, and if my powermeter connects, then it or my trainer shows No Signal depending on which connected first/last. I assume your trainer's firmware is up to date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
