Hi! I have seen from the moment that you explain the uphill-getting-harder feature, you show that different costful and place taking back-stander, for which one has to put off the whole back wheel! Since on one hand I would plan to keep it in the guests room, bike and stander, now only, that I'm not renting that room to a student....
The idea is to take it perhaps even for a double function, with time later in the future(Zwift+outside) thus, it would not be comfortable having to take off the back wheel. Is there any one of these back standers that do not necessitate the removal of the back wheel like the first type, but with the up-hill-getting-harder feature?
What if I have a power meter on my bike ? Whats the cheapest set up for me ? ? Please answer 🙏
"This setup is 92 quid, but what if you want to spend a little more?"
*/next setup is £900*
Snuzzle D juwp and than 2.6k😳
We'd have been here for days if we went through every permutation and combination... This was meant to show the different available options and then people can mix and match based on their budgets. There are plenty of cheap smart trainers around to drive the prices lower
@@roadcc £500 would have been a nice set up to show.
The first two setups gave me a lot of hope I could find a good setup for a few hundred, but no, they jumped straight to 900£
u might need a trainer tire, but thej are cheap
What a perfect video for beginners. So well formatted, working the way up from the most basic to the high end setups. The pros and cons of each level. Thank you very much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hey, as a sound guy let me give you a little advice.
You recorded audio in two nice mics, nice. Good audio quality.
Now, while you edited this you panned ("moved the audio") a microphone fully to the left, and one fully to the right, but camera image is recorded mirroring the image, so you panned it to the wrong side.
Here's an example of this from the video: th-cam.com/video/C0myg4TLkZc/w-d-xo.html
It feels weird.
So here's my advice: next time do not pan a microphone fully on SX or RX side, pann them at the center, or a little to the right side where the audio is coming from.
(Also if you wanna a killer audio quality there are also de-reverbator programs out there, so you can remove this reverb on your voice, but you don't need to, it's still okay like that.)
Hope this helps, and thank you for the video!
if you did not point this out I wouldn't even have realized, not I can't not hear the weirdness
Just came here to comment that.
if you have premiere pro then it has dereverb settings and other things like denoise
i heard it instantly and have turned my headphones around xD
Came to the comments to say exactly this. It's not super bad with speakers, but in headphones it's maddening.
That bookshelf is cool as hell
Excellent job thinking up and executing this “staged” budget-to-bling run thru. Thanks
Great job , well put together and nice relaxed vibe
I'm an ultra-marathon runner, looking to transition to the half ironman then full ironman in another year or so. I was searching for this exact info and your video seems friendly to those of us looking to set up at home. For now, something like this will help with cross training while I save up (for months) for something to start riding in - the bikes I intend to do Ironman in cost more than my first ever car.
Great video with a really good sound. That combined with your really understandable english (I'm no native english speaker) makes it a good start for me to plan an indoor bike trainer. Thanks a lot.
Really informative video. Great way to understand the options available for Zwifting
Really handy video, glad I'm able to play Zwift with a budget setup, will help me a lot on this quarantine times. Thanks! ❤️
If your heart rate monitor has bluetooth then you should be able to
setup 3 would take me the entire winter season to install.
You also need one of those books under your front wheel to level it with the back one. Thanks for this video.
I use the concept 2 bike erg with iPad for Zwift.
It’s excellent!
Hey guys! Thanks for setting me straight!!
A comprehensive comparison, nice video!
So much better than other videos man, thanks yall.
Bucks not quid, lol
Nice video guys, I saved a grand getting a Wattbike Atom NG, mat and heart monitor ~1800 UK pounds - connecting to my iPad Pro - and I have to say it's so much fun. The Atom doesn't have the gimmicks like the Taxc Neo, although you guys didn't mention the road feel abilities of the Neo, nor does it have the climb of the Wahoo Kickr but it's a solid bike well built and for me it's given me all the data and accuracy I want as well as allowing me to participate fully in the Zwift platform, very happy! On a side note being British, buying the Wattbike is supporting local businesses and I'm not sure the Wahoo Kickr smart bike is available for purchase in the UK.
Love that bookshelf.
Great job!
Excellent vid , thanks .
Great video thank you!
Awesome video thank you very much.
Nice job guys 👍
The left guy is coming out my right speaker, and the right guy is coming out my left speaker
Great Video! Thanks
Excellent video!! Really insightful. I will probably start with just the rear wahoo trainer and then add on with time! for now though its summer! so i have time to save up some $$! THEYRE EXPENSIVE!!
Just the info I was looking for! ("Dumb trainer". Never heard that term before but makes sense.) Now just wishing I hadn't sold that other road bike! Cheers mate.
great video!
Good one, this. Still on my mid 90s taxx , with its 7 resistance levels cable actuated, the little mrs unfortunately threw away my early 80s Peugot that has been the dedicated turbo cycle since the 90s. Must admit drooling a bit on the kickr...
Great vid! Where can I get one of those telescopic phone mounts? Can't find one anywhere!
stack a couple of those books under your front wheel to level your bike
Great job guys. Its a big help in trying to decided how I want to go. I got a nice Campy equipped bike that I'm really not able to ride where If live. I miss the hills of Southern California. I think its better to go mid range and ride my bike, then go out and get a Peloton style bike. Do most smart trainers except Campy hubs?
Great video - really helpful - thanks guys. I have a stationary indoor fitness bike - can I zwift on that ?
This goes from 100 - 900 - 1500, what about the lower end "smart" like the 300-500 smart enough range?
would be a basic smart trainer with the sensors and all
Great vid. Which tripod unit are you using? It doesn't match the TV stand in the kit list...
I’d probably end up with the first set up and be left wanting the last set up 😀
Ha, you're not alone there David!!
Great video can you use a indoor bike and just the zwift pod?
Great video. What is the advantage of a dedicated PC over the AppleTV running Zwift? Are there deficiencies in the AppleTV Zwift app?
Thanks for this!
Great videos guys. Im a complete novice so this is very helpful. Im hoping you can help me further. Im hoping to buy a Wahoo V5 trainer when back in stock and will need a bike as well. With most of my funds going on the Wahoo, Im hoping to buy a 2nd hand bike for around £100-£150 to use with the trainer and maybe use outdoor in the summers. Firstly what i need to know, will any bike fit on the Wahoo trainer? Also would you recommend a mountain bike or racing bike and any idea what model I could get 2nd hand for my budget of aroynd £100 to £150? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hello. Thank you so much for your video. Could you use a VR instead of the TV screen?
rocket board is also something that could be explored to add realism into indoor cycling
Look for a recent model laptop with a broken LCD screen, cheap or even free which works fine connecting through HDMI.
I love the sun
Any idea of the make/product ID of the clamp magic arm or something similar to get my phone out of the (falling) sweat zone?? Nice watchable vid and well explained.
Hi guys,
I'm thinking of giving this a go, but I have a few questions.
Can this plug or connect direct to a smart TV without anything else?
Do I need the bluetooth tranmitter for round the bub, or the one for the wheel, or both?
Can I use a mountainbike? or does it need to be a road bike?
Do I need a special tyre?
I’ve already got a Tacx trainer that I’ll use, if poss? It’ll be the same resistance, not bothered about that.
I also have the mat.
I'll look at getting a fan too.
Any other help would be appreciated. Thanks.
I upgraded from a mag trainer that had 5 settings to a fluid trainer. The fluid trainer is so much harder than the mag trainer!
Or a cheaper option you can just buy yourself a half decent disc brake bike if you haven’t got one already for winter and some cycling clothing to keep you dry/warm and just go outside!
When you buy a new trainer from a taxc satori to like the elite do you go faster in zwift more watts
It always cracks me up in cycling videos where they aren't cycling, they are still wearing riding gear showing off those moose knuckles.
I'm going to need an explanation of moose knuckles 😂
I suppose the headwind would work with the Tacx smart bike since it can just link to your heart rate monitor.
Tacx neo has road feel so you feel the road surface changes too
We'll have to get on some virtual cobbles
Great channel. Much more enjoyable that those smug Aholes from the ahem, other big channel out there.
Nice information.
Does the neo bike use clip less pedals?
Pretty sure it comes with a set of flat pedals in the box but you can use your own clipless pedals
Can you use bikes like Schwinn Keizer, peloton to achieve this type of setup?
What's the best budget alternative to the smart bike? I don't own a road bike so need an all-in-one excercise bike with the ability to have my speed affect Zwift/Kinomap etc. Thanks. :-)
Thank you lads great review,, just wondering starting off and getting a new to for it !!! Would you recommend to stretch the budget a little and go for an Apple TV ??!! Thank you 💯🇮🇪💨☘️
apple tv is a really cost effective way of getting zwift on a big screen, you do pay a bit of price in terms of ease of use over some of the other options though.
What are the bike types that one can attach to the kickr snap for example? can you attach a mountain bike? or does it need to be road one?
Hi Road CC,
I went for the 2nd set up but with the monitor option instead of a TV I get no sound. How did you do it? Thanks
Or you can just go outside and ride, but great to see the ramp up from basic to incredible kits. Great to have options when you don't feel like going outside, though.
Hi can I use iPad connected to TV via lighting to HDMI cable to run the game then use my iPhone to run the companion app
Great video. Would you be able to name/recommend a speed sensor that would work on Zwift. Thank you.
any bluetooth or ANT+ speed sensor should be fine, choose a bluetooth one if you don't have an ANT+ dongle
Is there a minimum spec for a laptop or mini PC if you plan to use it solely to run Zwift or similar app ?
Interesting
I go from spending 90£ to better one then want to spend 3000£ and buy a new house for a special room
projecter to wall is immersive
ive got this setup in my bedroom so sick
Quick question: Can you provide info about the tiny dedicated computer you're using? Maybe even provide a link?
I like the setup. You've forgotten the laser projector with curved screen! :) With a membership, at 14.99/mo. What does this membership provide? I've head joining is free, I've seen it's 14.99. Is there a membership fee? PS> keep up the great work.
Is there an option to turn off my avitar in Zwift?
What kind of Bookcase is that? Dang that's awesome!
Its a normal shelf. You're just high brah!
It‘s called Bookworm, can’t remember the manufacturer, just Google it
It‘s called Bookworm, can’t remember the manufacturer, just Google it
can you use an indoor bike with a flywheel? or does it have to be an outdoor bike?
Any recommandations for a pc on a budget to run zwift? Running on ipad right now but would love a larger screen. Casting from ipad is unreliable at best.
What heart monitor are you using?
What do you think about the Schwinn ac power bike guys?
Hi. What is the cheapest turbo trainer i can get to use Zwift? Am i looking at around £150-200? Thanks
OK video, but: (a) There seemed to be a big jump from the 2nd to 3rd set-up, and (b) it would be helpful to list any issues related to things like internet requirements, ANT+ dongles, Bluetooth requirement, etc. There almost seems to be an assumption that people have up-to-date phone, and/or high-speed Internet ... I'm in the middle of trying to set myself up on Zwift and am hitting some of these issues because my other tech (phone, laptop) is a bit behind the times.
good vid, but your links in the description suck with trackers.
Im just gonna buy a tacx flow smart trainer and use my current bike
Can i use a hardtail mountain bike on the races or do i need a racing bike
Im a struggling autistic student my budget is very low but i need something to keep my mind off the current situation im so not coping
hi excellent video. im a beginner is it possible to use a cadence/speed tracker on a standard exercise bike for zwift
yes, though you might have to get creative with mounting the speed sensor; it'll work though
On cheap version they say there is no resistance. But don't the bike's gears provide the variable resistance?
Could you use a exercise bike?
I might be dumb but you never talked about the bike frame. I only had one road bike it was a dawes lightning. What type of bike should i look for if it's only for indoors.
any roadbike should be fine
What is the advantage of using a PC over an Apple TV?
Is there a weight limit on the trainers
What sort of groupset needs to be on the bike for a smart trainer What if my bike has 8 speed shimano from 00s?
You put an eight speed cassette on the trainer.
5:02 do you have a inbuild speed censor and a cadence meter in that Smart trainer ?
I think the newer generation trainers all have built in power meter, and can work out speed and cadence from that, so no separate units to measure anything, other than the heart rate monitor.
@@robbiefaulks484 okay thanks for informing me 👍
Can I use a secondhand bdbikes wheel on trainer with Zwift?
Where can I get that bookshelf??
is it possible to use VR ?
Is the cadence sensor is necessary for swift app???
The max out doesn't include a 3090 to get 144fps at 4k?
Not a tech guy but investigating connecting a wahoo kickr to my iPhone and link to a smart tv with an HDMI cable with lightning bolt adapter. What is the "dedicated pc" going to do for me in addition to what I mentioned above? Is the pc required?? Thanks!!
The only thing the the PC will do is free up your phone to use the Zwift App for directions etc. You could use a laptop or tablet to run zwift, that's what most of us do. The dedicated PC was just another option
better graphics depending on the specs
What heart rate monitor is being used?
What about a eet of rollers with a speed sensor?
can you send a link to the magic arm for the phone on Amazon please
I Have a question would I be able to use a Mountain bike with the trainers u guys recommended?
@Nick Maclachlan Thanks such knowledgeable answer, the thing is my mom has a MTB, she usually rides it in the morning two to three times a week, but pandemic, yaddda, yadda... And my mom was inquiring me the other day about buying a spinning bike, but I think its not worth, and recently I'm also working out from home, and this Zwift thing seems like a great investment. I will first check my axles, the bike is not too old, I think 4rs~ maybe, and it was reasonably priced back then, but I'll check that. The other thing I'm afraid too is investing a thousand bucks and then nobody except probably me will use it, whenever I'm here that is.
Question, zwift said also a power meeter. But you say if you have a speed meter you wont need it. So just the trainer and speed meter and youll be up and biking right? @roadcc
You are able to Zwift with either a power meter OR speed sensor so a power meter is not a necessity. If using just a speed sensor then a cadence meter is also strongly recommended, Hope that helps :)
What is the minimum ram memory and cpu speed to use for Zwift and the smart trainer?
4 TeraBytes RAM. 412 GHz processor
....minimum
@@martin6123 crey super computer
where can I pick up the out in front stem phone holder you show at 3:16 in?
Hi, it is just one we ordered on Amazon. Pretty sure it was really cheap but has lasted quite a while
Came for the review, stayed for the cheeks, then came for the cheeks.
