I’ve just purchased a Real Turbo Muin b+ because of the low noise and precision that I had read.
Unfortunately I cannot be more regretful about my decision, since the trainer seems to drop the Bluetooth or ant+ signal frequently and the power changes in ERG mode in Zwift seem to have a 5+ seconds delay.
Over the last two weeks, I’ve done a series of tests with ipad, mac, iphone 7 and a PC (alienware), putting the ipad/iphone/pc closer to the electronics even on top of the electronic board and the problem doesn’t improve.
With e-training iphone app there are no delays in power and no bluetooth signal drops and that’s why at Elite support say it is a Zwift problem so nothing they can do.
In Zwift, with any device I have tried it’s impossible to use this trainer since there is a blueetoth or ant+ drop every 20 seconds to 1 minute maximum, first cadence goes off and then power meter is lost (probably because of the 3 sec average power). With the Mac or PC laptop it is a bit better. In all cases it is impossible to do series in ERG mode since it takes +5 seconds to the Elite to react to a change in power target and if it happens to occur a power bluetooth drop then it means that it is even more time. Races impossible, since the rider stops and then you cannot catch up the group.
I have used in the same setup a Wahoo Kickr and a TACX Bushido without any drops at all so cannot be that my pain cave is full of noise.
I have no idea what to do, and with Elite guys just avoiding any responsibility (I was expecting a bit more from Elite), I am about to give up and buy other unit from other brand, any similar experience?
I also have this trainer and it is rock solid for me (might be a sligtly newer model) on bluetooth to an Ipad and Iphone (companion). I assume you are using the Misuro B+ cadence/speed sensor? Is it located in the right place? On mine it sits inside a little plastic housing on the bott right of the flywheel housing. Things to check are if the battery is ok and that the sensor has been set to the right number of flashes for the serial number of your trainer. There are useful guides and forum posts on the Elite site.
Thank you, my model doesn’t have the Misuro, it already has the bluetooth/ant+ from factory, I think I have read all forums already and no clue what to do now.
Same problem here with the same trainer. Works fine with a PC and an ant+ dongle, but with the apple tv I am experiencing drops. I tried all the suggestions given here, I even put the apple tv near (a few inches) from the trainer, and I still have dropouts.
I have the same problem when y try to connect my Real Turbo Muin B+ with my Wahoo heart rate but when i have connect only the Real Turbo Muin B+ on the BLE and the Wahoo heart rate whit Ant+ the problem was solved.
Do you have try to connect just the Real Turbo Muin B+ whithout oder devices…
Same problem here Carlos : Bluetooth is useless with Zwift and Elite’s REALTURBO B+, though is did work with Elite’s software.
The unit did work with ANT, but now says “CONNECTED“ but also gives a “NO SIGNAL” sign when I try to pair the unit with Zwift. … Now both Bluetooth and ANT are failing.
Seems ELITE is headed for Computrainer Land??
Anyone has sorted this issue? I have the same problem. My cadence is read from the Garmin sensor in my Trek bike. But Watts and speed are terrible. Many times it completely stops my and just the watts up and down not allowing me to keep up with the group on training and not giving me a completion star per interval. TERRIBLE! I need help.
Same problem.
I can’t use my Elite Muin B+ Trainer with any software other than Elite’s own, when I use Bluetooth…the signal gets dropped too frequently. I’m restricted to using Zwift with ANT on my laptop, as 1) I refuse to get a dongle for my ipad and 2) very few apps are compatible with Mac OS, using ANT.
I regret getting an ELITE trainer…
Same problem with mine, to the extent that I have just kicked the crap out of my trainer as my power went down to zero and lost a race at the last sprint! New computer, new ant plus and ble sensors, changed WiFi settings on router so it’s in different ranges etc… Nothing has worked and it seems to be getting a lot worse now. BLE doesn’t even work on my trainer either, I’ve never been able to pair it that way. It’s almost as if it knocks out my heart rate and Garmin vector signals as well. Going in the bin.
Don’t suppose there is any magic tip here… using an iPad so don’t have the option to use Ant+ and it keeps on dropping, spent most of my time reconnecting. As with others all ok on the elite app
Just joined zwift (and paid my first £) so a bit of a swine if it is an unsolvable issue
