    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    Yes; just; if load them correctly; we have the 2 and the 4 (the four is a double 2). The handle bars become more the issue you may have to loosen and let one drop. Hardest is S30+S30; or V20 + V20; if it's S30+V20 it's easy.

    The funnier part was listening to your device doing audio on and off randomly prior to when you came back and set your avatar.

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    Playing around with Discord tonight; it definitely works and fits the bill for verbal chatting while riding on the trainer. Sounds was good; easy to use etc. Also discovered that if you are using a Kickr with the newest firmware and you want to ride in Zwift on iOS (not sure about other OSes)...

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    This is so going to devolve into Tuesday night crit racing.... I should be on between 5:30pm-7:00pm PST but I'll be the guy riding around in ERG mode tonight; but will wave as people go by.... good enough for sound checks.

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    Official word is a 1 year backlog on people wanting their bike brand in the game. Want to move up that list; get more people you know buying and riding Cruzbike; and in the meantime just keep beating them on race day and group ride days....

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    We'd have to change your name to RoboRacing to reflect you bionic knee replacements for 40-50 rpms definitely a limiter of the platform. A lot of it ties to the riders current RPM comfort zone. I traded 165mm's for 155mm's didn't change the gearing; but I did see my RPM average move from...

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    No kidding on that one. it definitely depends on where you live and what route you choose. Can't leave my house and come back without doing 1000ft of climbing; but while you might climb 4000ft in on two hills; we'll ride here and do 3500ft on 80miles but it's more like 90-100 hills. I know last...

    disc wheel for the drive wheel

    Brake mounts of that era are all the same few standard positions and the y tend to come with adapters for front and rear in most cases. I have done the upgrade to 3 quests without issue

    disc wheel for the drive wheel

    I'll assume you verified your softrider has the disc brake mounts on the fork. I think they all did, but best to check since I wasn't 100% sure. Then the best bang for the buck is to email benny@wheelbuilder.com tell him where you are coming from and that it's a front wheel drive bike. He'll be...

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    Think of that as just installing at 36 little ring and a 42T cassette. The net effect of that slider is the same. As long as you believe you can balance your bike and not tip over at the virtual speed of 3mph then you could gear a bike and make the climb.

    Zwift - Cruzbike Activities (races and group rides)

    But but then you'd have to build it in to the game that ½ the people that tried the bike would fail to be able to ride in a straight line. And for those with left right power meters. During a descent, when the software the sudden onset of mashing would endure a lost of control and a crash of...

    What I did to prepare for Sebring 2017 ---today

    To accomodate the family schedule I flipped my Saturday and Sunday; did the long Tenenya 3:15 ride on Saturday. That was good ride; caffine free which doesn't happen on work weeks and on a lot of sleep. Still cooked it pretty late into the night; and wound up taking Sunday off the thought of...

    Well the smart thing would be to take Tuesday as an OFF day the plan calls for yellow ride to be skipped if you over cook yourself the weekend before; and that Zwift ride counts as over cooking it during base building. Resting is sometime harder than riding.

    The Ergons are good unless wet then it's matter of the type of shoe and the traction

    Heard this guy in a red suit was going for the ham'r sleigh record in one night. Jumped on the trainer and rode around with him for 3 ¼ hours too keep him company. I hear that's a thing people do.
