Wahoo - cadence drops off

The Archives Archived: Tips and Troubleshooting

I’m a total newbie, only 2 days into my free trial, but am finding it hard to enjoy Zwift fully due to my cadence dropping to zero frequently when riding.

My kit: Lifeline TT01 turbo (not smart), Wahoo Cadence, Wahoo Speed, Garmin HR.

 

On a non-smart trainer, do I need to consider altering my pedalling when, for example, going uphill? Should I be looking at the screen and altering my performance on the bike, to avoid cadence dropping on-screen?

Could it be a Bluetooth/ANT+ issue, which I’ve suspected? I’ve made the recommended changes here, so am hopeful this isn’t the cause.

 

Assistance greatly appreciated.
