Lezyne GPS - value for money

[Pure Savage]

Vitality is worthwhile if you're clever about exploiting it, careful about reading the T&C's and are a family/not just one person.

And have 3 hours a week to fight with them

I know you are on a dumb trainer with power meter, but do you know if the Lezyne when the workout is loaded, does it control a smart trainer as a garmin does?

A good mate purchased a Kickr Core, and he has generously allowed me to test if the Mega C can control the Kickr. Will give feedback in the next few days.

The unit pairs to both FE-C and the Kickr’s power meter under sensor pairing, but is doesn’t control the power from a workout created in TP.

 

Not sure I’m doing anything wrong, as it’s quite a simple process, but the resistance remained the same for the entire workout.

Looks like it pairs and will record the power from the kickr but not control it.

Recording is like a normal ride. As long as it records it’s fine. Maybe one day there will be a firmware update that allows the control. Edited August 6, 2020 by Frosty

This would be great. Perhaps an email to Lezyne CC to see whether it's on the cards.

If more people do this, we gain traction, and hopefully see an update (or a response if it's on their radar).

I think the way my Lezyne Mega XL calculates the elevation is way off:

 

The ride with the Mega XL:

• 87.48km
  Distance (?)
•  
• 3:44:35
   Moving Time
•  
• 704m
  Elevation (?)

• 190W
  Estimated Avg Power

• 2,563kJ
  Energy Output

  Avg Max Speed 23.4km/h 39.6km/h Elapsed Time 4:07:42

 

 

The ride with a Garmin Edge 200:

• 87.93km
  Distance
•  
• 3:45:55
   Moving Time
•  
• 376m
  Elevation

  Avg Max Speed 23.4km/h 46.1km/h Elapsed Time 4:09:39

 

The route I created with Komoot Tours has a climb of 280m.  The time and distace of the three is quite close.

Do you upload your rides to the Lezyne Root site?

They have an elevation correction feature similar to Garmin Connect. Also, make sure you give the unit time to calibrate the barometer before you start riding.

I upload directly from my GPS via Bluetooth to my phone and Strava.

Using the GPS Ally 2 app?

Not for tracking, just uploading.

also latley saw the elevation is a bit off but only when it uploads to strava and not in Lezyne root.

 

so think it might be there.

 

But hapy with my Lezyne and have been for many KM.
