![]() In terms of effort, obviously I could manually up the resistance but then it predicts a much slower speed so I risk tumbling out of the back of the group. Net there is some backing off so as not to produce a silly speed/power. Riding on the dumb Turbo, on the flat and 1-2% climbs the predicted virtual speed is not far off but on steeper climbs it is somewhat generous and it would be easy to fly off the front of the group. Having said that, if I go 0,1, 2 then riding on the flat, or downhill, is like climbing some of the steepest hills around here so 1, 2 seems right.Īnyway, it does work reasonably well for a group ride. However, that is all very hypothetical as my Turbo is older than any model listed and using the most basic Tacx model it suggests set resistance at Stop 2, which is a bit arbitrary as to what resistance that equates to and which is actually Stop 2 (0,1,2 or just 1, 2?). ![]() ![]() It does seem to help if you have cadence to add to speed as it can then make a better assessment of your power. Zwift will adjust your virtual speed based on it’s own calculations of your power (I don’t have a power meter either). So, seeing how it would pan out in reality was interesting as to whether I could have a meaningful ride with those with Smart Trainers. My reasons for joining were mainly to hook up with an internet group that were starting group rides in lieu of an event that was planned in Nice to ride the TdF first stage a week before the main event. ![]() So to be clear the Dummy here, hopefully, is not me but rather that I have a Dumb Turbo and Dumb Rollers. Well, the lockdown has tempted me to join the Zwift experience, sort of. ![]() Sorry, I’ve been a bit absent as we are in the midst of trying to move house during the lockdown. ![]()
