I’m in the process of transitioning from street riding, to sunny indoor wahoo speed/cadence setup, to wahoo kickr, and I am unsure my setup is actually working correctly. Outdoors riding I can do 20 mph easily on flat ground. Sunny indoor I can do 20 mph easily. Wahoo Kickr I’m struggling to main…

fixed my gear alignment and hopped into the game selected power cadence and controller directly. i noticed something new i had not seen. at the top right my “use built in bluetooth” was unchecked when i was trying to directly pair before. i had a fair bit of connection problems that was why i was pa…

[image] George_Armstrong: i had a fair bit of connection problems that was why i was pairing through the wahoo fitness app. I don’t think it is possible to connect through the Wahoo app, or do you mean the Zwift Companion app? Anyway, looks like you got it figured out. I have a feeling that …

yes i meant the zwift companion but yes also the wahoo fitness app. my method of connecting was to save pairing to wahoo fitness and then connect through zwift companion. that article you sent me said they are able to use wahoo fitness to exploit how the game works with low gearing. that must mean i…

Glad it seems to be sorted. Definitely don’t have it paired to the Wahoo app at the same time as Zwift - this is probably what stopped Zwift from controlling the resistance.

Ive put down a few hundred miles down now on the Kickr and I feel 100% ok with saying the speed is very off in Zwift. Please look into this matter devs. When performing a spin down the power, speed, and cadence is very accurate. When playing the game speed is 100% thrown away and the simulated speed…

[image] George_Armstrong: my flywheel on my wahoo kickr was spinning 35+mph. How do you know this information? Is it also paired to a head unit?

because if i perform a spindown i know exactly my cadence and power input to achieve 25 mph. when im in game doing 25mph on the flywheel and only traveling 7mph simulated speed or some nonsense I try kicking in a higher gear. my watts spike up to 400 until the flywheel gets some ridiculous speed and…

i understand how zwift is calculating speed, but if your flywheel is not matching your simulated speed it will prevent you for properly traveling. This is the point I am trying to make. They need to slow the flywheel down to match the simulated speed otherwise inputting wattage becomes nearly imposs…

[image] George_Armstrong: perform a spindown i know exactly my cadence and power input to achieve 25 mph I don’t think you can compare the two. When I do a spindown in the wahoo utility app there is no resistance. The flywheel easily spins up to 23 mph very quickly, with little effort. If it…

This may help understand how Zwift calculates speed from power.

How Does Zwift Determine My Speed??
