I'll try this again and maybe I can get my spin bike sensors to work with ZWIFT. But honestly, ZWIFT is simply not designed for this type of setup in regards to spin bikes. I used MOOFIT & all 3 sensors broke-down. I'll check out Wahoo & Garmin and hopefully those will work better. *Here's the real issue, some bright, hardworking programer will have to design a ZWIFT like game specifically for spin bike users who have HR, cadence, & speed sensor attached to their bikes.*

hi guys i wanted to know what resistance you ride on. i find 50 is not to hard but 55 and 60 is what im on. whats to see what others are riding on

This was very helpful! Quick question- when you do other activities on the Stryde bike, can you upload the rides onto your Strava profile? Is there a way to link the two?
@jamiedugan3 жыл бұрын
Thank you Nicole! I use my Apple Watch to record my workouts and then import them to Strava. You should be able to do this with most smart watches. Hopefully some day the Stryde app will be compatible with Strava but as far as I know you cannot upload from the Stryde app to Strava.

So you just simply and easily paired the sensors in zwift? I have brand new wahoo speed and cadence sensors, on a brand new Stryde, and it doesn't find them. What now?

The first time I paired mine it took a little while but eventually found them and paired. Try pairing in the wahoo app then again in zwift.

It’s a cheap work around to get ZWIFTING. A power meter would be more accurate. I can’t remember if it gives you a power reading. I know it gives speed and cadence.

I’m a cyclist and was looking for an indoor option. How does the Stryde stationary fit set up compare with a road bike? I am bummed that none of the stationary bikes allow you to move the handle bar forward or backward. I was going to buy the wahoo bike but that’s about $4k. Can I get away with the Stryde set up as an option to cycling outdoors? Thanks

I love it for an indoor option. The seat moves up, down and front to back. Handle bars move up and down. I have had no issues with fitting it to me.

I tried this years ago but I couldn’t figure out what to put in for the wheel size. What did u use?Also I thought the stride bike would work with zwift without the need for extra sensors.
@jamiedugan2 жыл бұрын
It may work now without the extra sensors but when I set this up last year I needed the wahoo sensors for it to work. Wheel size I used the wahoo factory default. I tried others but there really is no difference , the accuracy is not going to be that great either way but its fun to zwift.
@yvesn58 Жыл бұрын
I have the same kind of set up, with the Wahoo sensors. rpm is correct; however speed and power are unrealistically too high. Do you have an idea how to calibrate the speed/power?

Thanks for the video. Great option with screen mirroring with Stryde bike. I would think you need resistance to calculate watts in Zwift. How does that work? Or do you need a power meter as well?
@jamiedugan3 жыл бұрын
Thank you! A power meter would be the best and most accurate. Somehow it calculates roughly from the speed, cadence and heart rate with this set up.

Thanks for the video. Not sure if Stryde changed their front wheel setup, but there is nowhere you can mount that speed sensor aside from the top of the silver fly wheel without it rubbing. There is no clearance. Learned this the hard way.

Thanks for watching! Mine is mounted on the inner most part of the fly wheel. Is that where you mounted it. Interested to know if Stryde changed the bike. Also I remember a plastic piece on the wheel that had to be removed from shipping when I got the bike. Not sure if that helps? Best of luck!

I’m using the resistance knob manually and trying to match it to the percentage of incline on the ZWIFT hill. The sensors are calculating the speed and cadence.
