The racing is my favorite way to use it. Like you I was bored just free riding and checking out the different routes. The racing is really exciting for me. If I’m not doing a race, the I am on there warming up for a race. Oh, unless I am going for an Alpe PR, which is basically a iTT race.
Being new to the indoor world this vid really helps me ... Just need to settle my trainers issues I am currently having then surely I will be signing on zwift. Currently I am using RGT which offers alot for my current needs. Just wish they had the controllable select option and the power source options go choose from like zwift. A very informative vid indeed ... thanx
I only do climbs and to be honest i am mostly switching between Mountain 8 & 2018 uci short lap in innbruck , they are short and sweet with the ability to get a good climb workout before work , i wish other ones similar to these
Hi, thanks for sharing the training tips. I’m interested in getting a kickr to start my indoor training. However, I have a space constraint at home. I will require to set up and keep the trainer when not in use. Do you foresee an issue with the calibration of the trainer? More importantly, any suggestions to sustain this effort of setting up and keeping the trainer. Thanks in advance.
@@SmartBikeTrainers Hi, thanks for the info and reply. Really appreciate it. I bought a used a kickr core to try out indoor training. Will give my feedback on my progress. 😄
Had a question. I tried a group ride after selecting a route in Watopia. I chose a c ride to start out. It said lets go and off I went. Seemed ok to pace stats for c. Then on my companion app it said Join Event. I was confused as I was already riding in the group. So I clicked on that and ended up in a race training event, where the kw were running 3.6-4.2 just to keep up. I wasn't at that level for an extended workout so I had to quit. Frustrating. What happened?? Any ideas.
hey there SBT, i just got a Saris H2, and i'm trying to figure out zwift. is there a way to turn off environmental simulated resistance, and just go by manual resistance, and adjust intensity from keyboard? I'm on iMac and android phone, and i don't used wifi. i would rather be able to control manual restistance from the keyboard anyway.
Sounds like you just need to create a free ride workout. If you go the workout menu and create a new workout, drag and drop the free ride icon and adjust the duration to what you want. Then go and ride. With the Zwift companion app, you can toggle off erg mode button and adjust the resistance. Or just bring up the bottom menu when riding and press on the up or down arrows.
Thanks, I was expecting a description of a way to socialize using Zwift. It is not that present in the video. Perhaps what I'm looking for is with external tools (Discord, Zoom, ... ). When I say Zoom I mean a pre/post video event. I also thought of a description I could share with my trainer (which uses Training Peak). Good video nevertheless.
I organize a private event once a week during the winter and invite all my local riding companions. Along with that I have a discord channel we all can use during the event. So we get a chance to virtually ride and chat once a week to catch up with each other. Also, riding with people you will be riding with in the summer helps inspire you to train so you don't get dropped as much in the real world.

I rode about 10k and decided to hop off and immediately subscribe. Loved it right away.

Great video. Great channel. Just ordered Wahoo KICKR 2020 a few days ago. See you in Watopia! 🚴🏼♂️😁
Awesome man. Glad you are enjoying the channel and enjoy your new kickr 👍🏼

Super helpful! Thx!

Right, these two climb are short and sweet for a good quick workout. Thanks for watching!
@@SmartBikeTrainers always bro ! Your the man Tariq quality content !
Thank you. Answered lots of my questions.
Awesome man. Thanks for watching!
Please tackle Zwift and rowing
Their version of New York City looks like something out of Epcot, with a little Star Trek thrown in for good measure. Not the City I used to live in!

The latest kickr has auto calibration so it should be fine. I am constantly moving mine and never had an issue.

I have an indoor exercise bike, SPORTSTECH Exercise Bike X100B . Is this ok for Zwift?
Thanks
Where? Yorkshaierr :)

My guess is you somehow signed up for two events and that’s why you saw the second join event message.
Thanks for your reply! Love your channel!!!

@@SmartBikeTrainers thanks for the reply. I will look into that.
But the only way to manually adjust resistance is through settings in the menu?
You can use the companion app as well and bike gears to adjust resistance when turning erg mode off.
@@SmartBikeTrainers thanks, I found the keyboard shortcut list.
Thanks

And 2 years later i’m bored with almost still the same routes 😅
Yeah, routes can look the same after so many years of riding.

Hey Tariq, can I befriend you on zwift and strava?
Absolutely. Would love to connect. You will find my info in the description of this video.
