Hands-On Review: indieVelo

[@lutzpleuter6388]

Great review, Mark. I like your style of commentation from OTR Love TTT. So I was not surprised of this nice review. Testing on my own if this is a kind of holiday from the RGT stress for me.🤪. Please keep on doing this fine highlight shows. I am lookiing every week forward to them. And, it's really kind of you but you don't need to mention me for pronounciation hints or german things. Let's just race. It's great fun to do and to know other people take a look at it too. Hang on!

Vielen dank, Lutz. I really do appreciate your kind words! It's so awesome to connect with you too. I admit that Damon (ZMS eSports Studio) passed your very kind message from Discord on to me. I need to join that Discord group, I just need to get better at keeping up-to-date on things like that. My advice with IndieVelo, while it's in beta, is to rely more on BLE/Bluetooth than ANT+. I'm told the ANT+ on IndieVelo works great for some and not for others. I fall into the latter, but the Bluetooth is the best I've ever used on a virtual cycling platform. Oh, please don't worry about that. I feel, as a commentator in a close-knit community of indoor/online cycling that it's just good to pay reverence to the cyclists. I do it with most people on there.

Also, Lutz, if you wish to, you can connect with me Strava too. You can find me right here: www.strava.com/athletes/60465913 I always follow back to anyone from the community.

Great vid. With the annoucement of RGT servers shut down, i´ll give this a try. thanks

[@MarkAllardWill]

Thanks for the kind comment. Oof, yeah, that RGT announcement was a kick in the teeth, hey? I really enjoyed that platform and SYSTM too. I'm not sure how "worth it" Wahoo X is as just SYSTM, but at least I'll have IndieVelo while I figure out where I want to be in terms of indoor cycling.

it doesn't look any different to zwift ?? coming from rgt hmmm Server based IS a benefit however

[@MarkAllardWill]

I've found the UI to be far better than Zwift, as well as the options for environments (including a velodrome). Ultimately, however, the choice of virtual cycling platform is as much personal preference as any other arena of cycling. I do have other virtual cycling platform reviews here too. One I recently enjoyed, despite its lack of community, is OneLap; a review of it is also my most recent video.
