    Texas time Trials or Bust - Whose gonna join me

    Zwift has this nasty short-sighted approach to the training side of the equation. I'm sure they will fix it eventually but not yet. Right now Zwift FTP monitoring only moves FTP up; it doesn't' suggest downgrades. Couple that with the concept that ERG workouts plans (as designed today) only work...

    Could be an over calculated FTP I'll send you a private note about what the software says it should be.

    There's still time to join in the fun. Two more work outs in books. If I can do these off the couch after two years any one can. FTP scaled workouts are correct for everyone everyone. After the Team time trial tonights was a piece of cake right @benphyr ?

    Searching out the limits on the V20.

    Two points to add to that: 1 The Thor seat makes that more true I have found, 2 dead weight is good weight; the more relaxed and limp you can make your body from weight to shoulder the more down force you can get; tense will put more weight at your head and limp puts more weight in your anchor...

    Tonights ride; recovery only so I could debug zwift for tomorrow. Left it posted on the calendar just in case any one would come ride this super easy rid. Wound up riding with a guy from Ecuador and another from CA. Just like that 30 minutes poof gone; lots of spikes power from the chitter...

    Any Tall Guys out there (like 6-4 plus) riding the Q45??

    Ok that was a ride on the wayback machine to find the post. The V20; boom from the Curved era metal, and thickness needs a minimum of 10 inches for full strength; I cut mine with 18inches of insert on the regular bikes which should accomdate at 6'5" rider. On my race bike I take it down to...

    Any Tall Guys out there (like 6-4 plus) riding the Q45??

    There is a thread in the history where IIRC Mark did the math; I think it was called "cut the boom" I'll find it tonight and cross post the info. If the thickness and metal type are the same we know do know the min that gives no loss. Use weight weenies were using that as the max cut off. I...

    Don't let a data freak into biking

    Fitnesssyncer.com was quite the find stupid cheap service and it really can sync EVERYthing. Under this model I never get duplicated ride uploads; and the data goes where I needed it. If I save a Zwift race with "FR" in the name it assumes that ride should be consider IRL and not a duplicate of...

    The power of video training. Had a fellow bent rider join in. Would never have finished this today by myself; after 3 power profile days in a room I was burnt. But with someone else there dying too I survived. The cool part is I was at 250 watts and the co rider was at 415 watts and we pretty...

    The best way it to try the "demo" account; let TR do the trainer control and zwift do the mileage and visuals. That's the easy way to see if you think it's work it.

    Any Tall Guys out there (like 6-4 plus) riding the Q45??

    Jim and Ken are both tall and fit on old-Q's and Vendetta just fine. The boom length won't be the problem; the boom usually needs to be cut down. What you might need is a longer chain stay. Now that the Q45 (I believe) has the same design as the S40 and V20 you probably could install the long...

    Now on to TrPlay's question about Zwift and TR. For people that have both this opens a lot of options and it's pretty flexible; and just from the limited testing I did a lot more enjoyable than Discord and the trash talking works better. So You can ride in both Zwift and TR at the same time if...
