I've got one of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FFT0D0C/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 And on the low setting, it's enough for me. Pretty cool in my basement though.

Zwift chat. While I'm happy with doing 45 Power Zone Endurance rides on my wife's Peloton, I'm getting some peer pressure to join folks on Zwift. Can I just toss the Garmin Vector 3 pedals I already own on the Peloton (normal Bike, not Bike+) and use my 9th Gen iPad (2021)? Is that a decent setup? I ordered a holder so I can hang the iPad over the Peloton screen.

Cat rear end Trophy posted:I tend to do workouts with erg mode off. There is an option for that. I have found that all of the constant micro-adjusts that take place during erg mode just mess me up. Doesn't this leave you flailing for the right gear to get your cadence and power every time? I think that would annoy me more on shorter intervals than waiting for the ERG to stabilise. dema posted:Zwift chat.

That'll get you power readings, but there's no good way to have Zwift automatically control the difficulty of your Peleton. The Shift Smart Trainer was supposed to solve that but doesn't seem to really exist yet.

As for my previous predicament, I'm not gonna spring for yet another fan just yet. More so because I'm not going to be in this attic forever and in the next room maybe the three fans will be sufficient again. I'll grab a blower next time if I do make another fan purchase. I did, however, want to stop sweat from soaking through the dumb sweat guard thingy. So I grabbed a remnant of some canvas that has a waterproof backing on it. I cut that to shape and put it on the back of the sweat guard. I also had some spare 3M clear guard whatever stuff laying around. So I cut a piece off of that and put it on the back of the canvas just to make sure nothing soaked through from a capillary effect. That should do the trick. Maybe. I hope. All of this will become less and less of an issue with the passage of time, however, because as the temps get cooler/dryer outside the window fan is going to flex its muscles more and more to help keep the ambient temps under control.

Do pitch changes outdoors leave you flailing for the right gear/cadence/power? You get familiar with the resistance unit of your trainer (or outdoor terrain), the gearing you have, etc.

Just need to build base this winter. Don't need or want the intensity that will come with group rides or virtual races. Planning on being a real life crit bro next year.

The setup that works for me is wahoo systm with a tacx flow in ERG mode. All the extra sensors connect fine, cadence, hr etc.

What I was getting at, was that it would be counter productive to work on that sort of intensity right now. I for sure can't maintain it year around. Focused on building my zone 2 now. Once it's spring, I'll be out doing group rides and mountain bike rides. Will naturally get plenty of that high intensity work.

Zwift has a bit of everything. Riding with pace partners is like a big social group ride without any intensity.

I used rollers with a fan as my indoor trainer for a few years, and the reality is that for structured intervals, and especially on shorter intervals, it's way better than erg mode. After like 5 minutes you're gonna know what gear combination works for the interval intensity you're doing, and if you're not doing an idiotically complex workout, it's easy to remember what's what. For folks who need 40 different workout structures that are all the same thing slightly differently because they get bored, yeah, maybe stick with erg mode.

What lag do you all normally get between the gradient you see in Zwift and the trainer increasing the resistance? I'm using an ANT+ dongle on the end of a usb cable to connect to the H3 and it seems to be around a second for me. Not so long but enough that it's distracting and makes it hard to estimate how hard to push over small sharp hills.

I have just started on Zwift and indoor training. I was formerly OK at cycling but I've gone slightly blind in one eye so decided to try to get back to fitness indoors first. Just working my way through the zwift back to fitness program and its hard enough as it is. Hoping to get my ftp back over 200 by end of the year.

I'm pretty blind in one eye. Depending on how old you are and how much you try, you might be able to get comfortable with bike riding again. Most of the visual cues for bike riding aren't in the telescopic 3d range. Sorry it happened tho.

Vando posted:At least he didn't unlock the Tron bike, or his ban would be twice as long The inconsistency is so ridiculous. Not that the idea that, in serious competitive racing, the bike performance isn’t automatically made identical for everyone is remotely sane anyway. Waiting for the lifetime e-sports ban for reading gamefaqs next.

Also it's - 10c and snowing here just now so I probably wouldn't be out even if I could see.

Any tips on how to get Zwift iPhone to log workouts in Apple Health? I paired my Apple Watch for heartrate stuff and thought that would be enough, but it doesn't save anything to Apple Health. I think I might be able to export from a logged Strava workout to Apple Health(?), but that seems kind of roundabout. Googling this just has people talking about the companion app, which seems unnecessary if I'm using Zwift on iPhone in the first place. Maybe I'm wrong and need to install that, though? Seems weird.

Got the cheap Tacx rollers. Antares. Really like them. Best $160 I've spent recently. Bought them for active recovery, skills work and warming up for races. But, I'm able to do tempo intervals on them. Finding that 50x11, 100 cadence is ~250w.

All I ever did on Peloton was the powerzone workouts, and Trainerroad is just a better way of doing them.

 SRAM Xplr mostly works with the Saris H3 (once you swap the freehub to an xdr one). The three caveats are that: 1. With the derailleur in the lowest gear the cage contacts or almost contacts the trainer, so I think that's unusable. 2. I had to file down the standard thru axle spacer on the drive side by 1mm. The spacing between the cassette and the edge of the DTSwiss body on my wheels is 4.6mm. On the H3 it was 5.6mm. I reduced it by about 0.8mm or so. Still a bit to go as there's a 4 step difference between the optimal micro adjust point with the wheels on Vs the H3 (versus 15 when I first put it on the trainer). 3. Its still quite noisy with my rival 10-36 cassette, even after optimising the B-gap and using the micro adjust.
