Cheapest Zwift Setup ON EARTH! How to get on Zwift with a £50 Budget

[@thomasvandijk3310]

Why dont you have like 100.000 subscribers? You just posted exacrly what i was looking for for over 1 hour, thanks man! Keep up the good work. Greetings from the Netherlands😄

[@bikedave2545]

Thank you for the kind comments, I hope to- I only set the channel up last week! 🤣

[@beingmediocre]

Who are these people doing budget setups for £500?! Cheers for this mate it's legend

[@RicasHomeySpace]

Awhh thank you for this! As a woman solo training for triathlon and is still clueless with gears and is on a cautious budget, your tutorial helped big time.

[@paulandrew8845]

I've broke my clavicle aswell I'm considering training on zwift while I heal up thanks for the video

[@smc7960]

Aldi sensor is now £4.99! 👍 great vid, cheers

[@ryanjamesthewolf260]

you legend! fast effective video that will help many people out God I love the internet

[@davidrowe8747]

Very helpful video - however, I don't think Zwift can detect many second hand Polar heart rate monitors. They may have changed to Bluetooth recently (2019?), but previous models use a proprietary ("coded") signal. I have 5 Polar HRMs, none of which I can use with anything except a Polar watch. Zwift's site says they can detect any HRM that uses ANT+ or Bluetooth.

[@brianduea6093]

Great information, just what I was looking for! :-b

[@bikedave2545]

Glad it was helpful!

[@grantking6100]

Thanks so much for this. I’ve found a trainer at my local camping superstore called fluid but I can’t see it on zwift and was thinking that I couldn’t use it, but I’ll buy it and give it a crack awesome no BS video👍

[@bikedave2545]

Glad I could help, it should work but power reading might be a bit out. still better than grinding on your own though

[@grantking6100]

BikeDave ended up getting a tacx Bushido and so far so good

[@eddiepress3858]

great content!

[@cyclingaddict9347]

brilliant video, I've been searching for about an hour, but does this work with tacx motion? like, a not clever turbo trainer? great video again, waiting for the answer!!

[@bikedave2545]

It should, mine was a 'dumb' trainer

[@carlraynham8547]

Don't work with every smart phone though I've got Huawei y6 zwift will not let app download says phone incomparable same for my tablet as well suggest you try to download app first if y,on should be good to go

[@Steven-gf1ns]

Thanks Dave!

[@chrismcdonnell43]

why is halfords a swear word...didnt you get a product that works good at a cheap price ?

[@Teunbink]

Good video! I have one question, i don’t get how zwift would know in what resistance the trainer is in. Because you could be in the lightest resistance compared to a heavier one with the same cadence, but obviously the wattage would differ.

[@Scottslookingabout]

zwift determines the resistance when you stop pedaling and the time the wheel free spins to a stop in the setup steps. values like wheel size are faked in setup.

[@franciscogalvez1235]

Nice info, thanks a lot! Do you have a powermeter? Or the App just take the data with the speed and cadence sensors? Thanks again! Very helpful!

[@bikedave2545]

No just the speed and cadence sensors

[@nigelvernon7173]

Can I use my Harmon watch as my heart rate monitor?

[@djxtremeist]

Aldi sensor has dropped again, now £2.99!

[@cliveedmunds5421]

Did you subscribe for swift or is it the free option Dave ?

[@JonnyChapelow]

Swear word "Halfords" 🤣.

[@miker5624]

What if I don't have a bike? any used road bike will do?

[@bikedave2545]

you'll find it a bit more pricey of you don't have a bike, so find a bike that fits your turbo trainer

[@citizenphaid]

How are you getting your power readings?

[@bikedave2545]

if you use one of the zwift calibrated turbo trainers then it estimates your power from what zwift knows about your turbo combined with your cadence and speed

[@flighted2513]

Do the aldi sensors work on an indoor spin bike?

[@bikedave2545]

I don’t know sorry

[@wOhst]

Can I use Zwift (or Kinomap) without a heart rate monitor?

[@wOhst]

Thanks for this great video!

[@benmacvean4053]

Yes

[@wOhst]

@@benmacvean4053 Thx 👍

[@Honeywell888]

What do you mean that you got the turbo trainer for free? Where? How are we supposed to get one for free so that we can compete you since you said at the end of your video that if we will find any cheaper setup we should let you know??? : ppppppppppp

[@jasperstollberg108]

What is that intro man? XD

[@prity777]

I don't get it. You pay every month 15 dollar and every year 180 dollar for the zwift app. How can you not afford or save money for an better set up?
