I use Apple TV for Zwift the vast majority of the time, but also just for watching YouTube/Netflix/etc on the trainer. The Apple TV remote sucks though. This $8 case fixes that, it's a silicone strap that makes it easy to grab, but also has a strap to easily place on the edge of your handlebars. Boom! Note: Not compatible with 2021 Apple TV Edition.
One of the most popular trainer fans out there, rivaling the Wahoo Headwind fan in strength but at a fraction of the price. It doesn't have smartphone/ANT+/Bluetooth integration, but it does have secondary outlets. I've been using it, and a similiar European version lately with great success (exact EU variant I use is automatically linked at left).
This desk is both a knock-off of the original KICKR Desk, but yet also better than it. First, it's got wheel locks (so the darn thing stays put), and second, it has two water bottle holders (also useful for putting other things like remotes). I've been using it as my main trainer desk for a long time now and love it. Cheaper is better apparently. Note: Branding varies by country, exact same desk.
This is by far the best value in trainer desks, at only $59, but with most of the features of the higher end features. It's got multi-tier tablet slots, water bottle holders, non-stick surface, adjustable height and more. I'm loving it!
I am considering getting started on Zwift for indoor training. I do have a spare road bike I could set up on a trainer such as wahoo kicker or something similar. Besides price, how would I compare and contrast this versus Buying a stages SB20 and the experience I would have?
One idea that some locals have done is put a cheaper bike on their smart trainer more permanently. One guy bought a second bike exactly like his main bike and uses that on the trainer rather than possibly compromise with a smart bike. *shrug*
Have there been any improvements to the ERG mode for use in trainer road or zwift? My only use case for a trainer or bike is to do structured workouts so it needs to work well enough with ERG mode to do that.
Thank you.Which programmes do have real movies of many routes that really work with the Stages biketrainer SB20, that we just bought? I mean the programmes that really follow your input on the pedals.We would like to use programmes that show realistic roads that also respond to your imput.I was told that f.i. FulGas does continu with the video while you yourself stop pedaling.
One concerned that I have is buying a smarts bike where the hardware will last 10 years or more but the software becoming obsolete. How sustainable are the current connectivity protocols. Is it better to invest in a new trainer; at a cheaper price.
In my case, it was worth it and has been a fantastic purchase. Actually takes up less space than my bike did, so I can have both the sb20 and the kickr setup if needed and my wife and I can ride the same rouvy route at the same time. If I was single I might still have purchased one as I like having the varied drive train options without having to spend money on cassettes I will only use on the trainer since I live in a very flat portion of then world.
I have joined the FB group and it almost sounds like a lot of post-purchase rationalization. When people ask about issues with ERG fluctuating around the target the answer is that all the other bikes and trainers uses smoothing in their algorithms and the SB20 is actually more like outdoors where it is hard to hold a prefect wattage.
My Hammer does not seem to have these issues although it would struggle a bit with quick intervals like 30/15s, but I would think that almost any trainer/bike is going to have issues getting up or down to speed/power in those time frames.
I am not worried about the ERG mode fluctuating 3 watts. I think that happens on most trainers. That happens on my Hammer for sure. What it sounds like is happening is up to around a 50watt spread. Even 10 is actually unacceptable as 10-20 watts can drastically change the type of workout you are doing.
I disagree about ERG mode. I was really worried before i buy it also but it works great! If you pair any external powermeter with any trainer it will show the same fluctuation. This fluctuation of the readings are totaly on spot and are coming from the rider ability to pedal smooth and stable. The problem would be if the resistance was not constant and this is not the case.
I disagree that any external power meter will show those variations. I have compared my Tacx Neo, my Tacx Neo 2, and my Kickr Bike with Favero Assioma pedals and Power2Max NGECO (on the Tacx trainers). The reported power values of all of those combinations agreed within the specs of the devices (+/-1% or +/-2%) regardless of the length of the interval (i.e constant power and sprints). I never saw anything like 50W differences.
as far as configuration, you configure every app the same way. pair the sb20 as a smart trainer and off you go. what more configuration info did you need?seems pretty complete to me:link to support.stagesbike.com
I am considering buying the SB20 but one thing holds me back. I use trainerroad for my indoor trainings. I always use the ERG mode. And as reported that is where the SB20 struggles. For me it is not an issue if the resistance is stable but only the reading is wobbly. If the resistance I get is also this wobbly I fear the bike is not for me. Do you know if the unstable reading affects the FTP ramp test?
In Pokémon Double Trouble, Luana used a Marowak alongside an Alakazam in a Double Battle against Ash. They battled Pikachu and Charizard, and Marowak was defeated by Alakazam's redirected Hyper Beam.
In The Ole' Berate and Switch!, Oriba and his Marowak entered a fake tournament created by Cassidy and Butch. Oriba later used Marowak in his battle against Ash, where it went up against Corphish; it was defeated.
No large scale epidemiological studies have previously quantified the occurrence of carpal, metacarpo- and metatarsophalangeal (MCP/MTP) joint injuries in Thoroughbred racehorses. To develop an objective classification system for carpal and MCP/MTP joint injuries and estimate the incidence of these injuries in young Thoroughbreds in flat race training. In a prospective cohort study, data on daily exercise and veterinary-diagnosed carpal and MCP/MTP joint injuries were collected from Thoroughbreds monitored since starting training as yearlings, for up to 2 years. Cases were classified in one of 4 categories: 1) localised to a carpal or MCP/MTP joint based on clinical examination and/or diagnostic analgesia; no diagnostic imaging performed; 2) localised to a carpal or MCP/MTP joint based on clinical examination and/or diagnostic analgesia; radiographs taken but no abnormalities detected; 3) evidence of abnormality of subchondral bone and/or articular margin(s) on diagnostic imaging and 4) evidence of discontinuity of the articular surface on diagnostic imaging. Incidence rates and rate ratios were estimated using Poisson regression, adjusting for trainer-level clustering. A total of 647 horses from 13 trainers throughout England contributed 7785 months at risk of joint injury. One-hundred-and-eighty-four cases of carpal (n = 82) or MCP/MTP (n = 102) joint injury were reported in 165 horses and classified in Category 1 (n = 21), Category 2 (n = 21), Category 3 (n = 72) or Category 4 (n = 70). The overall joint injury rate was 1.8 per 100 horse months (95% CI = 1.2, 2.8); rates did not differ significantly between 2- and 3-year-olds but females sustained Category 1 injuries at triple the rate of males (P = 0.03). Joint injury rates differed significantly between trainers (P 2ff7e9595c
