Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Ah OK. I wonder if you could find something like a 2nd hand Kickr Core or Tacx Flux that would be a step up without going all the way to a Wattbike.

Yes, I hope to do that at some point in the future. It won't be for a while, my finances are devastated by the ongoing restoration of Windy Gap and more recently a [very] rash purchase of a BMC Roadmachine III :-)

.... using a dumb trainer really can be quite restrictive. The V270 is one of Zwift's "tested" trainers, so they have a bespoke setting to apply to the algorithm that moderates your pace, in practice I find this really works against me. For example, the peak wattage is capped (for me) at about 380 watts while I've tested on a Wattbike at about 650 watts in a sprint, this means I almost always lose sprints and most of the shorter sprint segments are never going to be improved upon.

Got something to say?
