Hey guys, don’t make a to big deal of it. It’s just about testing different bikes for climbing. However, on Zwift they will all function as drive train for the same Tron bike.
Like this:
I still have no idea why you’d need to know the wheel/tyre size? would you not just ride various different frames/wheels and see which is fastest?
The virtual Tron bike was part of a discussion. Frame weight, wheels, tires and pressure, gears and ratio. The idea is to compare some data in the real world. I had no idea of tire size or frame weight so I asked on this forum. In a few months we go climbing in France and want to compare some data.
Hey Gerrie, interesting article. Our discussion started as a joke. Most people I/we cycle with in the real world don’t use Zwift. We live in a flat country and made jokes about the fact the Zwifters were the only ones that actually could train for some of the big climbs were planning to do. Becoming curious some guys wanted to know more about Zwift. One question was about the Tron bike and its specifics since I’m always using this bike on Zwift regardless the ride. And the fact I don’t own this bike in the real world. The discussion became more like a brainstorm. About data to capture on Zwift. Gears and ratio to test. The effect of weight on the climbs. The fact that bodyweight inputted in Zwift doesn’t necessarily equals your real starting weight. People can take a lot of stuff with them. Cell phones, GoPro, spare tires, extra layers of clothing, food, water bottles, small backpacks, and so on. The effect of wind and higher altitude. So we are planning to do some virtual climbing to compare. Time, power, cadence, the effect of weight and so on…
Do the Tron wheels even have tires?
