Virtual shifting and Neo 2T only partially working

Bugs and Support

This is helpful. I have a 48T ring on the bike I have on the trainer and I have been able to ride some with the virtual shifting. I’ve not been able to reproduce the problem I originally observed that led me to start this post. However, I would say the virtual shifting feels odd to me, even when it is “working.” It feels like it is drifting around, if that makes sense.

I didn’t even know the Neo 2T had this cadence sensor issue and my bike needs the extension. I have noticed wonky cadence at times.

I’m going to fix the cadence issue and see if it seems to work better.

I’ve never used virtual shifting before, so I don’t know what it is supposed to be like, but from watching DC Rainmaker and GP Lama’s videos, it seems like it is supposed to feel more normal than what I experience. It doesn’t feel like normal gearing for me, even when it isn’t going crazy.

I agree with you, the virtual shifting does not feel as physical gears, may be because the wrong gears auto-detection or not, I dont know, but there must be a related bug for sure. At least I would like an option to set manually the gears configuration instead of auto-detection, it would solve most of the problems we have with virtual shifting.

That’s it … he was right, it IS the cadence dropping. My cranks were 50mm away from the sensor so I put a solid copper wire extension on the NDS crank.

It works flawlessly now, not a single glitch in an hour long ride.

I used copper and made sure it was grounded to the cranks, this creates an earth loop to the tacx and improves the pickup sensitivity.

OMG, I can now use my simple old Fixie on Zwift… Fab!
