Thank you 🙌

@SteakandChains I guess is quite a short part, but it would be nice to a map with cobblestones 💪💪 like all the roubaix sectors

@LorenzoCentioni Thanks ✌️

Maybe even a steeper hill or some specific technical routes, different level of off-road/gravel. There's not much specifically for MTB right now

@crankandsprints it's a shame because so many MTBers use it for winter training

​@KlintonSilvey I agree, there's so much potential for Zwift, in running and MTB and maybe more connected to the zwift play. Hopefully they will do further software development

I plan all my races, videos and training after a full working week, it's quite frustrating if things doesn't go to plan, but the positive thing of Zwift is that you always have a plan B option. So no La Reine and new badge at Petit Douleur 🔥🔥🔥

@ you kept mentally focused and considering all of the obstacles. Good on you! 🙌. I did that course today and took the advice you gave me. Thx!

​@@terrencestamps5125 well done! I did a brief check and saw your Petit Kom PB with higher Cadence, but same HR and almost a minute better 🔥🚀

Great idea 👍 I did a community ride in December with Subscribers. One of my next ride planned is Uber Pretzel and few more. Stay tuned 😄

Thank you 🙌

Thanks, many options to put on a test 💪

Canyon frame is super 👍 Wheels you could get the Zipp 858 they're faster, but I would suggest you save the drops to get Enve SES 7.8 at Level 36 and DT Swiss Disc at level 39. You're a few levels away from my 2 favourite wheelsets 👍

Yes, race dynamics changes a lot. I guess if the group is quite broken like could be a NY route or maybe a route with the Grade/the tower someone with the Tron would be able to take seconds back on those continuous up and downs. I'm a climber for example, so I would rather have an aero bike that gives me help on the flat to either go away or recover in the unlucky case I'm alone

Thank you, this is with a Z2, Z3 wattage, on a full gas race it could be even more 🔥

The first test is quite beneficial on KM completed = levelling up and drops. And it's actually quite a big difference For the climbs, the draft doesn't really count as much if we purely consider the climb. What I was trying to prove, especially if is a small race and you are out attacking, between a bike like a Tron and the Aethos there is a big difference based on how you are planning to compete. Are you attacking uphill? Or are you defending and needing a more aero bike to catch up or attack in the flats? If in the race, the plan is to stay on the wheels for all the stage, then many bikes would do the job

@ All races attack on hills precisely because there is less draft. That makes the effect of a climbing bike proportionately more than the numbers suggest… but it also depends on how steep that hill is. To stay attached on downhills and flat sections, you don’t need much power because there is a lot of draft and you won’t easily get away if you attack. The overall choice depends on the climbs, their length, gradient and how the race finishes for a sprint. There is no fastest bike. It depends. Your first test just shows that a TT bike is faster. All tests solo are not accurate in a racing scenario. Flat times will be faster/need less power with a lighter bike. Say you need 250w on a Tron over flat to stay attached to a group, you will need 255 on a lightweight bike. That extra 5w won’t feel like anything. Skillful drafting can make up for more than 5 watts. Going downhill requires even less effort and the perceived physiological effort between lightweight and aero would be no different going down. You choose the most aero bike you think you can get away with to be in contention at the end, assuming it is a flat or slight incline finish. If there’s a significant incline at the finish, it’s the other way around.. the most lightweight setup you can survive with for the climb. For lightweight to be worthwhile, the climb has to be 5% or more, otherwise there is no difference or it’s slower (less than 3%).

Well said, I agree with the drafting skill. But I do appreciate the video content. I use Zwift Insider scatter plot to give me ideas, it’s fun to change set ups , especially in the Tiny races. I got on a race that went into the jungle but started on tarmac. I decided to try the Crux gravel bikes. ….. and went backwards and backwards at high threshold, ouch. ….until I hit the gravel, then went from 96th position 96th position to 14th, the front group , making connection after the suspension bridge. Whoosh! Unfortunately the finish line was after a long boardwalk area and lost gravel advantage.. Ultimately for my effort and ability there was no advantage for me with the bike I chose, But that being said I still had fun blasting by everyone…😂😂. ,

Thanks, quite a big gap on the climb too 🔥

Why? He tested them on a climb so of course the lighter setup wins.

Maybe he didn't expect such a gap between the 2. It expected less gap myself to be fair

@ It is like @crankandsprints says: I would not have expected such a gap. If I put that in perspective with Alpe du Zwift, there will be a significant advantage! My Pb is 39:15 on the TRON... would be under 39 on the Aethos... WOW.

Thank you. Great suggestion 👍 I can definitely work on this, I am at level 60 and I don't have many bikes but they are all super useful and I specifically took only the best

Always ready at 6.30 London Time 🔥

So unexpected the Tron delay on the climb, but its soo aero too 🔥

@@crankandsprints I haven´t TRON = no delay 🤣🤣🤣

But till 500m elevation I prefer Aerobikes and higher Lightweight +/-

​@@kamilmaj20006 ahahah sounds like a meme. At least there's other as good bikes, just not as glowy 😅😁

It's a Razer Blade 15, not the highest specs but does the job well also for editing 👍 16gb ram and i7 processor, HD a bit small only 512GB

Aero no doubt about it. Lightweight good for climb finish races

The format was exciting, I am nowhere near your level but, I appreciated the tactics.

Hi Terrence, I opted for a Pinarello Dogma with DT Swiss Arc Disc considering that I planned to do a chase I expected to be a lot at the front pushing or solo attack, so I wanted the most aero bike combo 🔥 The video coming out today will be about a comparison of bikes vs ERG mode at same wattage

Those constant 1/2% stays in the legs + all the climb off road is no joke 🥵 a few had cramps during my ride too

We want the chip time! ⏱️👀 🤣

Happy you enjoyed your first run! Well done on PB 💪

Thanks Lorenzo. The cow bells 🔔 are my secret weapon! And pleasure for live viewers 🙌🙌

🙌🙌🔥🔥

Peak at 189 BMP, considering I'm 37 years old my limit should be 187 😬 But that final 300mt on the Grade where I caught them all was the gamechanger! Thanks for watching and supporting 🙌🙌

Hi, did you try to check the strength of the trainer on the zwift settings is it at 100%? I feel exactly the same, I'm B and I've been bumped in A, but being just above 60kg is really difficult, the positive things that now my racing score is around 600 and not too high, in the right range I would say, I think if you keep racing and riding events based on the race score it will adapted better to your results in the category, not the power, with 53kg I imagine that yout Wkg are quite high

@nikolayshchetikhin7538 thanks, you too! Great attack, I tried to counter once we caught you but got swamped by the others at the sprint⚡️

Really good point actually, it's really helpful on TTT and also to keep the line. Next time I'll try 👍

Sorry to hear about your experience, is the connecting on an off of dropping completely? Hopefully they will fix it. What frequency of WiFi do you use? 2.4 ghz or 5ghz?

@crankandsprints my setup is using 2.4GHz. I downloaded the preview firmware after getting the code off a website where others were posting the same issues. It seems to have solved my problem (only one ride though). I notice prior the firmware upgrade, when I would check my connected devices in Zwift, there were multiple instances of ANT+ and BLE connections with the Victory. Each showing different wattages, RPMs, or No Signal. With 4.12, there is just one BLE, one ANT+ and one WiFi connection for each one. (If that makes sense).

Not really, to be fair is quite bumpy (I also loosen a bit the tire pressure so it bumps a bit more 👍 With the Kickr it was really stable, with the Jet it moves a bit, I'm considering buying the mini plates and add the tennis balls underneath but I'm not sure yet 🤔 Not fall over, but once of twice I went to aggressive and I disconnected the cable 🤣

Okay, if seen the “tennis ball” plate. I’ve also looked at some other “rocker plates” but they are too expensive.

@terrencestamps5125 yes, rocker plate option is great, but quite expensive imho

Great price 👍

It's a very useful add-on 💪

I mentioned briefly when talking about the grip and comfortabilty, but you're right I should have mentioned as well on the reason to buy. I used Zwift Click before so now I'm used to virtual shifting as if it is normal 😁

@@crankandsprints Oh I see, my bad I didnt listen well enough i guess. Makes sense that you didnt think of it as a main point then tho :D

the play virtual shifting buttons are awful. The click is much better, but I love the virtual shifting

Yes, they're a bit chunkier than expected. I'm actually ok around the hoods, mine are quite big because I have a Trek, I'm still testing the position on the Sprints, less grip with classic position or full grip but different position. Brake disabled is really good, I'm really happy with the value added vs cost so far 👍

🙌

Thanks! Tiny Races Type 2 Fun 🏁🔥

Thank you, never give up 💪 I guess that this is what currently the level is on zwift, pretty high 🥵

These looks fun to watch 🙌 fancy joining? 😁🔥👍

@ definitely !!!

@@eduardclaudiufadgyas3365 get ready 💪

Yes, the park has quite a few, most of times they are cubs
