Fair play putting down those watts. Your bike on the trainer does seem to move around a bit, do you think youre there any watts through that to gain if you could stabilise it? Ive always wondered how much my bike moves when im sprinting standing
@ZwiftInsider2 күн бұрын
My bike moves because it's on a rocker plate. :-) I much prefer out of the saddle work with more natural side to side movement vs the unnatural movement you get with a static setup. Are there watts to gain? Debatable. I tend to think you can make more watts with a rocking setup, since your upper body can pull the bike against your downstroke leg, effectively increasing power by recruiting more muscles. (That's why people sprint out of the saddle outdoors, after all...)

Nice power Eric. Looks like this workout might be good one to test power levels with and without the rocker plate as a comparison.
@ZwiftInsider8 күн бұрын
It would! The hard part for me is putting out maximal power both with and without a plate. It takes me some riding to get used to riding with or without one... different sprint technique for sure.

Did you manualy turn off ERG mode in the part before the freeride? I did the ride with the Zwift Click but it dit not show the gears when I entered the 15sec freeride. Thanks

Yes, I manually turned it off.
@ashley1scott9 күн бұрын
I was wondering if it releases you from ERG mode 10 seconds before the free ride where it says “start increasing your cadence” In your first test you tabbed straight into the section, so missed the ‘lead in’ sector
@ZwiftInsider8 күн бұрын
It doesn't release you into free ride mode until the free ride section begins.

@E.M.B.R9 күн бұрын
On the Zwift Academy 2024 Pro Potential Prologue workout/test, Zwift put in a 1 minute free ride interval and then some text about getting into the right gear and preparing for the sprint right before the 30 second unbounded free-ride test sprint. That was a very elegant way to setup the test interval and make sure people could nail it. That same 1-minute unbounded interval and instruction before the first 15 second would be welcome here. I'll end up doing exactly what you did and taking it off ERG at the tail end of that first 3-minute interval but this would be better handled if they setup the workout with that same brief 1-minute free-ride section right before that first test interval as they did before. At least the second two 15-second intervals have free-ride before them here so that's something.

@ZwiftInsider15 күн бұрын
In a structured workout it won't show the gear (unless you're in a free ride section). Do just a normal free ride or event and you'll see the gearing, assuming you have virtual shifting enabled.

Hi Eric! Great video and you’ve given me hope. I have the Zwift Ride (ZR) bundle. I’ve tried this technique but when I try to connect my ZR using the network connection it doesn’t appear. My setup is an Apple TV connected via WiFi down in my garage. Unsure if that matters. Any advice? Thanks!
@VendetaBrown9 күн бұрын
I have the same issue. My ATV hardwire is connected to my TV… I only show the one option for the Bluetooth connection to the KICKR.
@allthingscycling9 күн бұрын
@ I have done EXTENSIVE research on this and there are things in these videos they are leaving out (important details). I.e. You can ONLY use the direct connection IF you have a trainer that supports it (and the Kickr Core does not). You can ONLY use a dongle IF you have a trainer with an Ethernet port to plug it into (kickr core does not). When you purchase the Zwift Ride it comes standard with the Kicr Core trainer without the option to upgrade to one of the other Kickr trainers. Now I have to use my phone to connect my controllers, trainer, & hrm. I even tried to connect the hrm and trainer first then connect the controllers via the game controller option in the Apple TV but that didn’t even work. Without the controllers connected, you can’t shift gears. Frustrating but it’s limitations of the ZR platform

Come off it zwift get rid of this ==== If you drop back in a race at a certain distance zwift will hold you back from joining back on you only have to look at the watts you are putting out and not gaining on the bunch why does Zwift do this. In the pack they were putting out around 130 watts and I was putting out nearly 180 watts and made no gain. Don't tell me this is not happening I know it is I have noticed it in the pace groups as well I thought it was just the pace group that did this and not in a race.

@@markantonywaring3014correct. And the wahoo Director connect will NOT work because it’s only compatible with two Kickr trainers (not the Core). And the other thing that’s not mentioned is the Apple TV has to be hard wired in (network cable) or that specific connection will not show when you try to connect. And if you have the Zwift Ride like me and do not connect your controllers, then you aren’t able to shift. Hope this helps.

I took a photo of the screen and tried to post a link to it here last night but apparently that resulted in that comment being rejected/auto-deleted(?). However, I’m in central Florida, so at that point I had to go do some hurricane prep and never made it back to ride yesterday. So, for now, I can only confirm that my Apple Watch 7 running WatchOS 11, paired to my iPhone 13 Pro running iOS 18, successfully shows my heart rate (bpm) on the Paired Devices screen in Zwift 1.74 on my AppleTV 4K (3rd Gen) running tvOS 18. Whether this will work during a ride is still TBD. Maybe today, or not until Hurricane Helene passes.
