You would need to loose the motion plates if you go with the Zwift Ride.
As a longtime Neo 2T user, this is great news. I’ve got my drivetrain dialed in so am not terribly interested in switching to the Cog but I would like to give virtual shifting a go. I’ve got a set of Play controllers but have had to turn braking sensitivity down to 0 (no great loss) because of sweat intrusion on the R controller and can’t turn on the L controller because it’s stuck steering full R. Replacing the Play controller would be more cost effective but I worry about the same issues cropping up on the new one. The Click/Cog combo is more expensive and wasteful since I don’t need the Cog. Two questions to you all: 1) Am I right in assuming that you cannot link both the Click and the Play, which would allow me to still use my R Play controller for Ride Ons and the like? 2) Has anyone had sweat intrusion problems with the Click? Thanks!
Hi. I’v spoke with Garmin Denmark, they will look into it.

Nice one, thanks.. 
I heard from Zwift that cog size should not matter on the Neo

updated the firmware and virtual shifting is working as it should on my 2T, will there be more gearing profile options available in the future? would be nice to be able to match what the bike has to be able to run it at 100% so it feels more like outside e.g 50/34 11-28

Thanks for the report. I’ve let the team here know, and we’ll investigate what’s happening.

UPDATE: this has been fixed in game version 1.92, which began phased rollout earlier today. Please update when it’s available to you. Phased rollout concludes later this week.

Some backstory on the Zwift Cog variants with 18 teeth vs 14T. The tooth count does not matter for Tacx trainers, but does for Elite. Elite trainers have a higher resistance floor than other brands, and some riders find it’s too much resistance.. The 18T cog eases that resistance floor vs a 14T cog.
- We try to make it as convenient as possible to install a Zwift Cog, and when possible to install it without the need to buy a chain whip and Hyperglide cassette lockring tool. These are bike-specific tools required to change cassettes on your rear wheel (or trainer).
- The “multi trainer” 14T Zwift Cog comes preinstalled on a freehub body that fits the other Zwift Ready brands (i.e. Zwift Hub, Wahoo, JetBlack, and Van Rysel). This only requires you remove the drive-side axle adapter with a spanner you probably already own.
- We offer the Zwift Cog for Eite and Tacx trainers without a freehub body because the multi-trainer FHB won’t fit those trainers anyway. Why pay for something that you can’t use? The catch here is that you’ll need a chain whip and HG cassette lockring tool to remove your cassette, and swap it for the Zwift Cog.

Thanks @shooj seems reasonable. We all had to fit our cassettes on our Neo´s when we got them so no issue there. Is it best advise to use big or little ring? I assume that just comes down to best chainline..?

I tested today with a bluetooth dongle and for now it works flawless, had to disable the pc’s bluetooth card to make the dongle work
With virtual shifting and the 10Hz race mode on

Why? WHY?
The chain stays are far too narrow?
Ok. But WHY?
Because it was designed around the assumption of a less bulky trainer
Props to the first person who takes an angle grinder to whatever is in the way
I think the Why is a valid question. The Ride should have been built with the same clearance that any bike that barely clears 23mm tires (700c) manages, assuming the mentioned Tacx models could do so.
Have you looked at it? I don’t have a Neo to try to put it on, but the presence of the chain tensioner in the design is a barrier to widening the stays. Of course you could design a trainer bike without putting the tensioner there, but it would be a pretty different product and would be less easy to get on and off the trainer. The current design also allows the chain to be removed without breaking it since it doesn’t pass under the chainstay.
This. The Tacx 3M flares wider towards its base vs the 2T. That extra width interferes with the Zwift Ride’s chainstays.
And still you designed it to not fit on very popular trainers?
WHY?

Same here , I have a Neo 2T and 2 and both have bluetooth issues after firmware update. Tried everthing. Garmin generally has good customer service but came back with no solution “Thank you for the information. Have you force closed or restarted the device that was running the Tacx Training app? The trainers will only make one bluetooth connection so it sounds like it could be fighting for connection with the Tacx training app since this would’ve been used to update the firmware”.
I have responded to Garmin that is not possible, since all Bluetooth devices were turned off. I am waiting to see what they come back with
Had the same issue, could only use ANT+ connection. Then I restarted PC/smartphone from which I updated Neo 2T firmware and unplugged/plugged back trainer. Now it works as before.
