Hey all - a few things were raised in this thread that I wanted to comment on.
Wahoo added support for both virtual shifting for the KICKR Core and auto spindown in January 2024 in firmware revision 1.3.17. To assume that “virtual shirting prevents autocalibration” is jumping to conclusions, let’s be open to investigations without making this assumption.
@Miro_Wikgren
The zero watts issue affecting macOS users was fixed in Zwift game version 1.58.2. as @SeattleSauve noted already. Would you confirm that issue is resolved for you?
@Umut_YILDIRIM
The wrench icon disappearing from the pairing screen is expected behavior once your trainer is on firmware that supports auto-calibration.
@Bastian_Wegener
Wobbilng at the pedals in the first ~15 seconds after your avatar spawns in a world sounds like the expected feeling when your trainer is determining the physical gear ratio on your bike. During this time, the trainer is reading its flywheel velocity and your pedal cadence, and is calculating the gear ratio of the bicycle, then puts you into a virtual 12th gear, right in the middle of the virtual gear range.
Real Gear Calculation happens one time, when your avatar spawns. Should you shift your front derailleur from small chainring to large, the trainer does not recalculate. Does this sound like the wobbiling feeling you’re describing? If no - please elaborate.
More broadly to everyone in this thread - please elaborate on the issues - there are several being raised, and I want to be clear on what you’re describing here.
- Are you in ERG mode or SIM mode?
- Some of you have mentioned, but what pedal cadence range do you prefer? Is it below 60 rpm? 90? 140?
- If in a SIM free ride - what sort of terrain? Hilly? Flat?
- What size chainring is on your bike, and are you shifting the front derailleur at all?
- Which virtual gear number(s) do you favor?
@Efflon Is Power Smoothing enabled on your Wahoo trainer? See this article on the Wahoo support site for details.
