@@tihohohoho Just unscrew the two screws at the bottom and take out the circular metal piece. Clean it off, give it a good wipe, then put it back in and tighten the screws.
Just recently got started with Zwift. I was quite hesitant at first, mostly because I didn't know exactly what I needed to set it up and get it to work, but it turned out to be pretty easy. And the fact that you can try and ride a climb like Alpe d'huez was a big motivator.
Thanks Manon....I wish I’d known these tips and tricks before I signed up 8 weeks ago....Still my FTP has almost doubled using the 4 week FTP Builder and (4 weeks into) 10 week FTP Builder...I started by not being able to finish the training session, now it’s rare that I don’t finish....Keep the great videos coming Manon & GCN Team
Yes, all the communication will be processing via Zwift Companion, an app you have to download separately. Then, there's a message center. You can text from there. Ride on;-)
A regular trainer stand combined with the speed sensor is all you need to use Zwift. The only downside is that the resistance you feel on the bike will not adjust automatically based on the elevation you're riding on in the game (like a smart trainer would). But it will still allow you to measure your power, speed, and interact with the rest of the virtual riders.
I've been trying to buy a Wahoo Kickr Core since October,LBS.Wahoo UK Wiggle,Sigma,Wheelbase all out of stock, Looks like I'll be out on the 'Gravel bike' again,when the ice has thawed out.. #Keepin it real...
Delivery takes longer because of corona , i ordered somme brake levers in early march but they arived in mid may , considering it usualy took 4-5 days normaly
Well explained although I missed a budget price level for the different options and more exactly which packages go together. Also, if it's possible to get started with the trainer and a laptop and then build on top of that later on
It is almost impossible to get a decent smart trainer at the moment. The market has been vacuumed for smart trainers because of the increase of interest in bike training.
So I did something right this time. Bought my biketrainer in the middle of summer. People at the store were like "oh you already want to buy the thing?" Phew
Perfect timing for me. Just started on Zwift this week! Thanks for the tips 😊 I just need to know how to stop myself from setting off full gas with all those other cyclists to chase down! I must learn to ignore ‘Close the gap!’ Great fun though! I did a few ‘crossover’ sessions using GCN training sessions while riding in the Zwift world. I could concentrate on what Hank was telling me to do, so I was less inclined to chase down everyone! Lol! It’s all good fun, but my legs are feeling it!
Perfect video to get started on Zwift. Great overview of all the basics you need to know, very well explained. Also, the length of the video was perfect. Great job Manon and GCN.
If I'm riding in Watopia, and I see someone in GCN kit at the side of the road, and it says M. Lloyd...I'm stopping to assist. If it says D. Lloyd, and I have a shot at a KOM, I'll call someone (Hank) on my cell to come and assist. :)
Zwift looks like it's fun and could be a useful off season training tool. Not sure why so many are angry about this video. Jealous? I am just a bit. I'd like to have a trainer like that and it's not a new concept. People have been using trainers for years.
Competitive Cyclist has some TACX's in stock I believe still. I'm running an ancient kinetic fluid with the kinetic speed/power sensor, Wahoo cadence sensor and my Whoop, it works fine for my modest FTP.
I've been trying to get a Wahoo Kickr core for months,I've found one place that expect to recieve them at the end of January,tried lots of places from the LBS to Wahoo UK...
Zwift basically calculates your speed by combining cda from your bike, wheels and rider height with the power to weight ratio you are putting out. Different frames and wheels will alter your in game speed slightly depending on the course
How this works if you suddenly go uphill in the virtual race, I imagine that ideally application should automatically send information to your bike to increase resistance, but I guess it doesnt work like that? Can someone explain? Thanks!
There're few hardwares, as well as the function capabilities you have to check first. 1) if you could download and run Zwift in your LG TV? 2) if your LG TV has Bluetooth function, and/or available USB port? 3) if you have ANT+ receiver. Just in case your Bluetooth failed connection. But this is not a must. 4) if you have running pod. Such as Stryd running pod, Garmin running pod, etc. You need any of these to attach with your running shoes. 5) if you have treadmill. Any brand would be ok if you have running pod. If not, you have to pay more money to buy the Zwift compatible treadmill which have the internal function in them already. If you checked all of above five items, good to run with Zwift. Remember to swtich into Run Mode;-) Ride on;-)
Thank you Manon, this was really helpful. I joined the Zwift family today after my Wattbike arrived. Loving it so far but I think I need full-on airconditioning!

Can I please ask you to clarify the following?: If I have a smart trainer like Wahoo Kckr 2 or 3 or 4, and a swift account / subscription and a smart TV, can I play swift (and my ride) directly through my smart TV? Or do I have to play it through Apple TV? If I have to go through Apple Tv, do I need the Apple TV box even if I have Apple TV installed as an app on my smart TV...?
I’m interested because I’d like to virtually connect my 8years old to his grand father’s, who are in two different continents. Grandpa train to stay in shape, and my son loves to bike. Please let me know if zwift is the right app for this
Don’t forget to put a towel over your headset to catch the tsunami of sweat that follows. I’m still exploring Zwift, it’s fun! I’m not sure who I’m giving thumbs up or RideOns to. Can you explain how this works please. Thank you.
This is the first video of Manon where I noticed that she is wearing a WEDDING RING! When did she get married? Does she happen to have a single, identical twin sister, that's into cycling? Just wondering....
I got a Novo Force in September, it’s a cheap trainer without any kind of bluetooth connectivity, automatic resistance settings or the likes and after a few months of testing my verdict is: it sucks. Zwift is just no fun (for me) with a cheap trainer like this. Zwift uses the revolutions / rotation of your rear wheel to calculate wattage and speed. This leads to the player riding uphill with 6-7 km/h and I also miss just pedaling hard uphills. In my opinion: If you wanna use Zwift, get a real trainer with connectivity and automatic resistance settings, this way I can imagine Zwift being fun. If you don’t have the money for that, like me, then ride outside as long as you can and use the cheap trainers for spin class sessions like those on the GCN Training channel (or others)
Question GCN. Does Manon now hav extra weight on the right hand side of her handlebars to off set the weight of that engagement ring :D A bit late to the party but CONGRATS MANON.
Stupid question probably as I'm new to Zwift ... Where in Zwift so I see my FTP ?? Not done a test yet, but it's supposed to calculate your FTP on every ride isn't it ? Where do I see what it's calculated so far ?
I just started using this app. I am still in the trial period and I am very confused. This video helped thank you. I have a question for you if you don't mind, where the numbers are saved? Every time I go in the cadence and speed sensor reads cero. Does any numbers get saved if you walk away in the middle of a race? I am still in the trial period and I am very confused. This video helped a bit.
Anybody else run zwift on iPhone and have to delete the app/redownload because every download is good for 1 login before the app crashes or just doesn’t load?

Strange my Sensors has more problems with bluetooth.
On ant+ the problems are gone.
Both are sending on 2.4ghz but ant+ is better
I find Ant+ more stable also.
I love how tactful Manon is when she refers to a smart trainer vs a "classic" trainer instead of a smart trainer vs a dumb trainer.
Thanks, Manon, I joined yesterday and found it all terribly overwhelming, this was very useful in helping to understand what's going on
Personally, I've found Ant+ much more reliable than Bluetooth. You just have to make sure the sensors are close.
this can be the case for a lot of users, particularly if other bluetooth devices are being used in the same place as a bit of interference can occur
@@gcn if we going further to powermeters, allways set up in Ant + to see ALL the data that you dont understand :P

LOL. True
But you do not have that frash air at home like you do when you bike in some forest zone.

Hmmm, how can you communicate with other riders during riding,? So sorry I'm a male and only can do one thing at a time
In game messaging is available. Hit Control M, or "Messaging" in the companion app. Aften a group will use a 3rd party app called discord.
Often the messages in game go by too fast for me, but if you have the companion app on your phone its easy to follow conversations and reply
Yes, all the communication will be processing via Zwift Companion, an app you have to download separately. Then, there's a message center. You can text from there. Ride on;-)
Manon. ❤️
Zwift is for me a last option. I would much rather be out on the road.
Same. Zwift reminds me of indoor spin classes at the gym... really boring.
Yea same for me.
I think this is the case for everybody. But in winter its a good alternative to keep in shape for the outside rides :)
I see Manon, I click
Great tutorial thanks
It’s simple, I see Manon, I hit like!

Newbie here! Who could tell me if using a regular trainer stand, +wahoo speed sensor would be enough to enjoy Zwift.
A regular trainer stand combined with the speed sensor is all you need to use Zwift. The only downside is that the resistance you feel on the bike will not adjust automatically based on the elevation you're riding on in the game (like a smart trainer would). But it will still allow you to measure your power, speed, and interact with the rest of the virtual riders.
Now I need a video on how I get off the couch get my kit on and go down to the basement and actually use my Zwift setup

is Zwift on a console system such as xbox or playstation, looking at getting a wahoo kickr and getting onto zwift ?

As long as you have reliable internet...yes.
Is there a way to find out your cycling wattage without a power meter?
how do they determine your weight? or can you just type in anything you want
You type in anything. But if your wattage per kilo is looking suspicious you may get kicked.
If only there where any smart trainers or even rollers left to buy 😂😅
I got one Yesterday. Not a fancy one. Called my local cycle shops and one had one👍

@3:11....Why does Zwift care if a bike is aero? If Zwift cares so much about aero, how do they track the “aeroness” of your position?
Zwift basically calculates your speed by combining cda from your bike, wheels and rider height with the power to weight ratio you are putting out. Different frames and wheels will alter your in game speed slightly depending on the course
I've just started zwifting and so far I'm enjoying it only problem I'm having is setting up my trainer as controllable
Not into Swift, but will watch pretty much anything Manon hosts. Thanks.
how do I use it outdoor tho
