Ahh man this feature would be amazing!
have a sweat V thingy between saddle and steer and cant see my gears at all.
Any @Ride_Cyclery person (@shooj ?) who can respond to feature-request if this is somewhere on a backlog ?
or if it isnât ofcourse 
With the leaking of the ZCog or whatever its call (Virtual Shifting and Gearing on Zwift: Looking at Recent Patent Applications | Zwift Insider)
I canât see (sadly) Zwift even spending 10mins on fixing current bikes - now they have their own solution (and with it another unique selling point) - as much as I would love support for my SB20 for gearing info.
Hoping Zwift prove me wrong thou!
Until Zwift does that - this thread may be beneficial -
Just to keep this going.
@xflintx @shooj With the new found partnership with Wahoo and bundled Zwift etc and the new Kickr Shift bike from Wahoo that has no ability to display gears, is the ability to see gears in game like other smart bikes imminent?
Please, please add this to the game.
@j4m1eb
Itâs possible, but not imminent. The ways that different trainer brands broadcast gear shift data is not as standardized across the industry as the more foundational power, control, and cadence data signals. Adding the feature youâre asking for is is an ad hoc process for each of our third party trainer partners whose close collaboration is required.
We hear you and would like to deliver this useful functionality, but please allow us the time it requires.
Thanks for replying but I think this is disingenuous and misleading.
See this thread Kickr bike display
This has been implemented with an esp32 and some simple code in Arduino. This didnât require any collaboration with wahoo yet alone close collaboration.
Furthermore someone in that thread has been able to pick up the signal from a Kickr Bike and pass on to S4Z.
Iâve bought a TTGO put the code in it and it shows me my gears. Again no collaboration was required.
You are trying to make it sound difficult to excuse not doing it.
To be fair, though, the TTGO is just intercepting the Bluetooth signal from the KICKR BIKE.
If you pair the KICKR BIKE to Zwift using ANT+ or DirCon, you wonât get the gear display.
If your Zwift machine does not have Bluetooth, you wonât get the gear display.
Thatâs not really the point as steering works the same on KICKR bike (with bluetooth not with Ant) so these quirks already exist.
if Zwift is paired with the KICKRBike, it is trivial for it to also listen for the brakes & gears (& incline lock status).
Its all in the github(s) Jamie pointed to above.
At this point it is copy & pasting the uuidâs to listen for - copy & pasting the conversion from the data received to âhuman readableâ - and add it to the existing code for gear display.
As a dev I understand some things look easier/harder to lay people than they are in coding terms, but in this instance it really isnât - probably 20 lines of code maximum - an afternoonâs work.
Yes please, obviously the gears are priority since the towel and so on but otherwise brakes for the jungle - I want to change bikes without resorting to âpairing screenâ.
That makes sense especially with Hub One and virtual gear changes. Just streamline the info display.
Well zwift just put the Kickr Shift in their online shop so youâd think that they must be about to display the great information - I hope so 
Bringing this back from the dead.
Any news on when or whether weâll see Kickr Bike gear display on HUD?
Such a long and overdue feature IMO.
No newsâŚ
Im also a Kickr bike V1 owner who rides with a towel over the bars(to stop the business end of the bike getting drenched!) So in doing this I dont get to see the current gear while riding. Major hinderance when racing 
.To have an on-screen gear status would be much welcomed. Can sum1 @Ride_Cyclery please get the ball rolling on this
Yes please have gears displayed on screen, this would be a massive help. Please!!!
I would also like this to be added - I have a Kickr Bike v1 and also use a towel to stop sweat - so having this displayed on screen would be awesome! Thank you.
+1 for adding this, im a kickr bike shift user.
Kickr Bike V1 user here too, but I use ANT+ so the gear display wonât work for me.
But itâs still useful for those using Bluetooth.
+1 for me !
Iâve been patiently waiting for a couple of years and am surprised this feature hasnât rolled out yet.
Lots of nice UI features have appeared which Iâm grateful for , but there are a LOT of Kickr bike users out there who would love to see thisâŚâŚ
Look what I got in the mail today⌠The other button features are nice too but finally there is gear display. I havenât tried it myself yet because I just got the email while Iâm at work.
Seems us on an old Wahoo Smartbike v1 is only getting a long middlefinger to look at 
BòóX
