    Thanks for this fantastic video. Thanks to you I'm going to cancel my zwift subscription. But, I only have one problem left to solve. Let's see if you can help me. When I use the "Follow Course" mode the smart trainer doesn´t adapt the resistance according to the track recorded on Garmin. I have paired the trainer as smart triner and not as a cadence or power sensor. I don´find the answer in internet and the garmin and elite SAT can´t help me too.
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks for sharing. I've been using my fenix 7 to ride workouts on my smart trainer, which is pretty is useful as I syncs the workouts for Garmin Connect. One annoying me thing is the fenix keeps buzzing and beeping when I'm 5 Watts off target and I cannot workout to disable it. Any ideas?

    After my second Garmin Edge 520 died unexpectedly I decided to try something different - the Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt instead of the Garmin 530. Boy! I'm glad I did. ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxXZCtB-wGdHVTBSz8RswePK5vllHNi06N The display on the Wahoo Bolt is much easier to read. I like the configuration of the display more (up to 7 items visible on page 1 without scrolling and the first item chosen is larger characters than the next 3 rows that have pairs of items (still very readable). I also like the configurable item selections. The Bolt synced with my Garmin ANT+ Speed sensors on both bikes easily so no additional investment was required there. While the rated battery life is a couple hours less than the Garmin 520/530, I easily get a weeks worth of 1+ hour rides before recharging (and it's never really low on charge). At the end of a ride syncing to the Wahoo app, Strava, and Apple Health app is painless.

And after my zwift Tour the correct data will be uploaded to my Garmin connect. Unfortunately my Garmin Fenix 6x Pro always shows during my exercise on my Zwift Hub One always the wrong speed and Distance.

    A question that may seem a bit absurd from my side.
    Say I have a .gpx ride and I'm running it on my smart bike trainer, but I want to add a watt based workout. If I add it while I'm running the .gpx track ...., the smart trainer will get confused and won't know what watts I have to go at... whether it's the .gpx track or the workout one. Am I right?

    • @banbrotam
      @banbrotam Рік тому

      Pretty certain that you, in effect, can get a reading from your smart bike from your Zwift screen and also your watch. SBT mentioned setting the Garmin to 'Free ride' so it should be sending the same information to Zwift and to your watch. Would suggest there could be calibration issues with the apps, if it's wildly different.
      I know you have to calibrate the wheel if you use Corus Pace 2 (the one with Ant+)

    Could you help me out with the following?: I have a garmin forerunner 945 and Saris M2 indoor smart trainer. If I make workouts on my phone and upload them to the watch. While doing the workouts I noticed that the smart trainer 'resets' the resistance or power to 0 after every lap. In case I'm doing a workout with a lot of reps I will be adjusting power and/or resistance all the time. Is there a way how to get this done more efficient?

      Generally I have a pair for power meter pedals that I can install on the bike. They measure and broadcast power+cadence . I do this with my Peloton bike so I can record the data on my device rather than using the peloton own measurement. However, these pedals are pricy and can cost over $400. Something like the Assioma pedals would do as long as they can be installed on the bike amzn.to/47TVKbZ

      Depending on your watch, you can rebroadcast some metrics from your watch to Zwift like a heart rate. I would just pair my trainer to Zwift and rebroadcast my HR from the watch.
