tillanien@gmail.com Posted December 6, 2021 Share Good day guys!! i started mountain biking two years ago. I have done some research on the wattbike, but I will feel much better If I can go to a studio or someone that can show me exactly how it works, and to get my zones. i have joined planet fitness but none of the personal trainers are able to assist with that. Situated in Centurion. thanks guys! Edited December 6, 2021 by tillanien@gmail.com DIPSLICK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dexter-morgan Posted December 6, 2021 Share Firstly download the Wattbike app, then make sure you get a Bluetooth one, then so their workouts, get ready to suffer - wattbike atom would be better, it adjusts your power automatically. It is advisable to get you FTP as well start somewhere like 180w, if the workouts are too easy then adjust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaper Posted December 6, 2021 Share You may want to say where you are located if you want a studio near to you. Otherwise read on the wattbike website about the tests you can do and how to do them to get your FTP and from there your training zones. tillanien@gmail.com 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tillanien@gmail.com Posted December 6, 2021 Share Thanks a mill! I did the ftp test, struggling to get to the RPM, but the watts I can maintain. i will do a ftp test again when we get back from holiday. Do I need to worry about the resistance?

Not if you just want to mess around. The resistance (air and magnetic) settings are good for ramping up those watts on low or high cadence. I use them religiously.

W@nted Posted December 6, 2021 Share The resistance levers are used/adjusted to maintain the correct watts/cadence combination. Crucial if following a specific workout/program. Dexter-morgan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DIPSLICK Posted December 6, 2021 Share Asking out of interest are watt bikes cheaper than smart trainers?? Genuinely interested My thinking(zero watt bike knowledge) is watt bikes were used in “spin bike type classes” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
