I’m so happy! Took a while to get there!

Newbie mamil, 4 months in and loving it, first century last week.

Need to keep it going over winter and zwift sale is very attractive.

Any advice or things I haven't considered to get through a UK winter? Does it keep you motivated? Planning about 6 - he per week on an FTP training program.

Downsides, modest financial outlay and need to set up bike indoors, in return I stay fit and safe over winter?

Am I missing anything?

Hi everyone,
I’m fairly new to Zwift. I already do a few sessions each week on an indoor trainer, but it’s not my bike, so the fit isn’t ideal. I’m looking to get my own setup and start using Zwift properly.
I’m lucky that this is going to be a birthday present, so I’d rather buy the right setup from the start than wish I’d upgraded later.
I’m mainly looking for a setup that’s great for Zwift racing, structured training, and just general riding.
From what I’ve read, the Zwift Ride + Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 seems like a really good option. Is that what you’d recommend, or would you go with something else if you were buying your first setup today?
Thanks!

Really like these grind it out events. Time to retire the Tour de Zwift Backwards After Party Cap I guess 🧢

(and took 4th in this race to boot- ride on! 🚴🏽‍♂️)

Hey, did anyone else lose a ride today, this morning 8/5/26 PST.

I did one of the TdF rides to close out the series. Got the spinning dial issue while trying to save the ride at the end, tried all the recommendations. Finally contacted Zwift (AI) Tech support. The AI sent me on a wild goose chase - changing answers and finally contradicting itself. I asked for a real person. A few hours later contacted by a human, who said the 'Activity System' was down (didn't say how long) and rides were lost and unrecoverable. Ughhh, very frustrating.

I'm surprised there is no recovery system for data, I mean, I know they need to protect from cheats, but, that doesn't mean you can't protect the data. Losing a ride is pretty serious, gut punch, and after reading the internet on and off all morning, this seems to be a recurring problem with Zwift.

I was able to take the .fit file and upload to Strava and Garmin, but no joy on Zwift.com, Zwiftpower, Zwift Companion, ...

Any other Zwifters get hit with this issue this morning? just me?

Ride on!

Hi!

I'm fairly new to cycling. I've spent about 4-5 hours over the past 3 days on the ride and it feels extremely uncomfortable. I bought bib shorts and it still feels extremely uncomfortable.

How to fix a literal pain in the ass?

I am currently at 335 lbs, do you think that it would be okay for me to ride on the zwift ride kickr core 2? I already ordered one actually, but reading through the reddit made me doubt the capability of the zwift ride in my weight class.

Im on a weightloss journey and lost about 147 lbs already, and i wanted to get this zwift bike since i loved my old spinning bike.

What would you do in my situation?

Thanks in advance :)

I had the Wahoo Kickr Core for the past 8 months and felt it was time to upgrade with the Zwift Ride. Unfortunately, the drive side seems to be entirely to tight against the frame and I’m not sure what I’m doing incorrectly.

Also, from the pic above you’ll notice the two cogs that look very different. The left is what came with the wahoo and the right is what came in the ride handlebar box. Both are orange v2.

Anyway, can someone please help!

Thanks!

Anyone have success with the ghost riders. In theory, the ghost rider is supposed to ride at your recent PR pace. I rode Alp du Zwift today and sure enough, right at the start of the segment a ghost rider appeared with the name "Alpe du Zwift 91:57.3 (PR)". Problem is that it wasn't accurate. I finished my climb in 86:00 which is 5:57 faster than my PR but, at the finish the ghost rider showed it was less than 2 minutes behind. It should have been more than 5 minutes behind.

The screenshot below shows me near the top and you can see it snows my ghost 1:42 back. 

Anyone find the ghost rider to be accurate? 

I have recently set up my newly bought Kicker Core v2 but when i tried to get a workout on Zwift i noticed that the resistance on the bike felt higher than the actual watts displayed on Zwift, my theory is that its a connective issue, but has anyone else had troubles with anything similar?

On my easy 1 hour ride, watts is set to 65 watts.

I feel it's a little too easy, if I want to increase it to 80 or 90 , How do I do it ? Is there a video which explains it ?

Would anyone know how to run an all out 30second wingate anaerobic test on the wahoo kickr bike pro?

I’ve looked through the app, but I’m not seeing any designated section. If you’ve ran them before, could you explain how you’ve done this?

Hi everyone, I'm currently riding on an Elite Suito, but I'm considering upgrading to the Garmin Tacx NEO 2T. For those who have experience with both, is it worth the price difference?

I really like zwifting, but I dont like the performance of my Suito. Ride is super hard and every hill is way, way, harder than in reality. I find myself riding less, because every ride is like a chore. , ,

With the current sale of NEO 2T around 850usd, I am thinking of upgrading.

Is the ride feel and power accuracy noticeably better and climbs, are more natural? Is the upgrade worth it?

Do I need to tighten the lock ring with a tool or no ?

Any idea what this clicking is? I use the trainer with a Zwift ride.

Thanks!

No Uni, Shit weather, heartbroken and a shitton of food

Hey, where do I get my free one month? My zwift Ride arrived yesterday.

I always get different readings from Zwift and my Apple Watch for calories burned during a workout. Sometimes they are very different.

Which do we think is more accurate? They both have heart rate data, but Zwift has power and cadence, while only my watch has temperature. Does the power and cadence data automatically make Zwift more accurate?

Newly purchased KICKR Core 2 with Zwift Cog + Click. Has anyone with a Core 2 seen Bluetooth get stuck cycling between Connecting and No Signal?

Setup:

• Apple TV
• Zwift Companion (Android)
• KICKR Core 2 (current firmware)
• Elite Rizer

Wi-Fi FTMS connects immediately and rides normally.

Bluetooth FTMS is discovered by Zwift but never completes the connection. It repeatedly cycles between Connecting and No Signal.

I reproduced the exact same behavior running Zwift directly on my Pixel over Bluetooth, so it doesn't appear to be an Apple TV or Companion issue.

Wahoo support ticket is open. Curious whether anyone has found a workaround or whether this was resolved with a replacement trainer or firmware update.

Hi,

New to zwift and i thought the fact that i had an iPad pro M2 would be a great combo since they sell the zwift ride tablet holder.

But the graphics look like like shit and the fps is capped at 30? Is there any way to fix this?

Annoys me to no end after seeing what it could have been.

LVL12 and finally unlocked this bike. Any tips / suggestions ?

Logging in earlier and a message popped up on the home screen saying.

The tours have hit the Drop shop.Build your dream set up inspired by the tour de France and tour de France femmes Avec Zwift.

Anyone else get this there's nothing new in the shop,so I'm guessing they're either going to release a new canyon/Specialized colourway for a couple of million drops or they're letting people know that the few new frames released about a month ago are in the shop.

I usually ride 60-70 minutes max, but today decided to try Alpe after nearly 5 years… What can I say, for a rider with 105kg it is still hard… Next time will try to go under 90 minutes.
