Hi all–I just finished my second day on Zwift and took on Stage 1 of the Tour de Zwift. I’ve been riding Keiser M3 and M3i at a cycling gym for 7 years and, as a recreational rider who isn’t going to race, decided to purchase one for home use rather than buying a smart bike. Obviously I weighed th…

[image] Brad_Rollin: that speed is calculated using a combination of watts (transmitted by the Keiser) and my height/weight. Is that fairly accurate? Yes, Zwift uses not only estás, height, weight but also your virtual bike, wheels, and of course incline. “Should I be going low cadence/high …

[image] Brad_Rollin: I find myself getting caught up in keeping pace or passing others and I’m blowing up. Perhaps understanding the mechanics a bit better will help me ride a little more within myself! This is all part of the fun and learning curve of Zwift. Riding in a group is very interac…

Hey there! I’m getting my m3i next week and am excited about joining the Zwift Community! Now that you’ve been at it awhile, what tips can you provide about how to adjust gears since we have to do it manually. Do you look at the gradient and make a decision that way? Any other tips, greatly apprecia…

Hi Roy - you’ve got it exactly right. I usually try to manually match my gear to the gradient. It’s kind of weird, because my mind seems to buy into the concept that I’m really on a hill…and when I get to the top, it feels natural to take some of the gears off to adjust to the flats One thing I’ve …

Brad, these are the nuggets of niceness! Thanks for the tips! I’m going to hold these close as I start out. I’ve watched seemingly every Youtube Zwift video, like a Talmudic Scholar…and am so glad to have struck gold on the first query of a fellow M3i’er. I suppose one just finds out what gear corr…

Roy, you’re off to a great start and remember a lot of the fun is learning how you, your trainer, and the app all work together. Think of it as a new adventure and have fun with it!

Hi Roy, adjusting the resistance becomes natural pretty quickly (I go by the gradient % in the upper right hand corner as the terrain can be deceiving). But as you improve your FTP, you have to start all over again. :laughing: I really struggled to find my groove in the app at first as I am very ea…

I’m Loving my M3i! And notice that my eye is always looking at the gradient, speed, and power to know when it’s time to increase resistance on climbs which to me simulates the effort in a climb just nice. No problems whatsoever either pairing all my devices to the companion app and ATV, or, just r…

Hello Everyone, I also purchased an M3i a couple of weeks ago and absolutely love it. Have never been a cycler, but just not able to run like I used to and needed an alternative. Using the Keiser with Zwift has been so much fun and I am really enjoying it. A lot of great tips here, especially what …
