Has anyone received their Jet Black Victory trainer yet? And if so, what are your thoughts? I just pre-ordered mine here in the states and supposed to receive it late December. I will be ordering the Zwift Ride to pair with it. If Garmin decides to announce they’ll be adding virtual shifting to thei…

The support people think its the speed sensor as well, and note this is a problem signature they have seen and repaired before. I have BT; it has reliably connected every time for months, and the iPad ‘catching’ those signals is about one meter from the trainer and I’ve eliminated every possible so…

Thanks for the sensor model. Cannot imagine what Superman vision revealed that to you. I may go down that rabbit hole on this trainer after I’m back in business on my new trainer.

You might have given me a clue toward something I had not considered - a WiFi relationship. While I haven’t changed my WiFi config, and I’ve never knowingly configured the trainer itself (JB App, yes; trainer no) for Wifi. To the best of my knowledge, Zwift and JB apps just use BT (or ANT+), but th…

If you can get the trainer reassembled, try a head unit if you have one for the ANT+ or BLE connection to see if you’re getting power data. Also, just spitballing here, but Macs might limit the number of BLE connections you can do at once. So if you have any headphones or other things connected, tha…

[image] Randy: I don’t have an ANT+ dongle for my iPad An ANT+ dongle cannot be used with an iPad. Would work with a PC or Mac. Aside from a bicycle head unit, many Garmin watches can pair to a trainer via ANT+.

Connected to my head unit - it used ANT+. It was happy that there was a connection, and the trainer was happy (solid blue light) that it was in session. Zero speed information received by head unit. I’m hunting for a place to source some speed sensors (one for now, several more for later :smiley: …

[image] To those who took their trainer apart, is this part supposed to simply come out by pulling it by hand? Mine seems to be completely stuck. Any tips? @Alex_Beebe @Shane_O_Connor @David_Stark

Sorry, I don’t check the forums often enough. Mine needed some generous help the first time to get out due to corrosion and bits of cemented rubber and grease. I tapped the shaft end with a drift pin and dead blow hammer. If I had to do it again, I’d try threading the pulley bolt back in a few turns…

Thanks for the reply. I got it working eventually (back then) but it needed some good hammering (used a rubber hammer and an sds drill bolt - the sds fits perfectly on the shaft end) to take it out. Also the bearings were a challenge to take out and put back in the replacements, but I got rid of all…

Glad to hear, and yeah, I agree on that 6002 failure. I think it’s the most likely to fail due to corrosion/contamination from the three different metals all coming together there (stainless shaft, steel key, and aluminum pulley). Rubber seals seem like a good idea, and I think some newer Victory mo…
