Awesome!

Yes, riding indoors will never be the same as outdoors; I do like Zwift because there are a lot of routes to explore at first. Hopefully they will keep new routes coming.

Two years later now. I hope you have recovered.

Hey there! I just stumbled upon a new project called Freebeat Morph 2-in-1 eBike and it's worth checking out. This eBike offers an outstanding feature of being able to charge it indoors. How cool is that? Plus, with its brushless 750W motor, 80Nm torque, and top speed of 20mph, it's perfect for conquering mountain rides. I'm currently enjoying the riding experience of the Freebeat Morph eBike and trust me, it's a game-changer. The 80mm front suspension and puncture-resistant fat tires provide a smooth ride on any terrain, and you'll love the Smart Saddle Detection+ feature for achieving your fitness goals. Happy riding!

I ended up getting one and I'm glad I did!

What trainer tire do you recommend? Links please. I'm using a converted 2010 29" Raleigh Talus Sport MTB which I use a 700x42 tire on Rails to Trails and bike camping but now I want to use it only as a indoor trainer. i just bought the same Wahoo KICKR SNAP trainer on Xmas day but still setting it up.

@@SteveK6470 They all do the same thing. Continental has one, and Vitoria. Both on amazon.

Good luck on your half iron man! Im training for my first century ride, hopefully by summer.

I haven't personally tried a blue tooth adapter but its something im concidering. Ive connected to Zwift using 3 different laptops (no macbooks) with varying results. My current setup is a lenovo yoga and i havent had any issues with the built in bluetooth. Prior setup was a cheaper lenovo and I never could get my HR monitor to connect and it was slow to connect to other devices. Another prior setup was a different Lenovo yoga at it worked 90% of the time, the 10% was most likely user error. Personally unless you are planning on jumping right in to some racing I would wait to see if you experience connectivity issues. You'll know within a few rides.

I would be curious as well!

Soon!

@@socalgravel Did you complete the alpe du zwift? If so how did the snap perform?

for me it is time saving convenience to stay fit. i can only dedicate so much time per day. so literally takes two minutes to prep to get on the trainer with zwift loaded, do a prescribed length and ride hard to keep heart rate up. hop off without shivering, immediately hit the shower, and then move on to the next thing i need to do.

Two minutes to prep!? I need to follow your example

That's a difficult problem to work not being there myself the troubleshoot it. Was the HR monitor ever working properly with you zwift setup? First thing to try is connecting the sensors using your phone's bluetooth via the zwift companion app...assuming you are using a laptop to play zwift. You can do this from the pairing screen in Zwift. If that works you might concider buying an external bluetooth (or ANT+) adapter for your computer. Best of luck!

Thank you for your reply. I’m using Zwift connected to the iPhone without laptop and at the beginning it was working with the app set up. Thank you again

Have you tried restarting your phone? Have you tried un pairing the HR monitor from your other devices? I havent experienced the specific problem you are having but ive had some weird data coming from my cadence senor (ie reading 20rpm when im spinning over 100rpm) into my old laptop setup. My only solution in the end was to invest into buying a decent laptop. Unfortunately im an andriod guy so i dont have any experience with bluetooth on the iPhone. Best chance might be to email Zwift tech support.

You don't "have to" but it is helpful to get into the cadence you want to pedal at, just like pedaling outside

He said in the video - Wahoo Kickr

Bruh did you even watch the videoc

It goes up to 213ish in a followup video, HR monitor reading seems suspicious to me.

It first started much cheaper but in a matter of one year it increased by like 5-8 dollars. I’m like that is too much that’s more than planet fitness

I agree

Watching this back and yeah my saddle angle looks pretty intense...scary even. I had to go and check on my bike just now. Its actually just about parallel to the top tube, must be the way the bike is sitting in the shot. Thanks for the comment!

I think it would depend on how long it took to ride the 50 miles.

50 miles is beginner territory. Man up.
