r/Zwift

Hello all, as part of my training I'd like to do a specific workout and pair it with a climbing session at the end of it. Is this something easy to do? Or do I have to do both separately, i.e. exit to the menu and load a climb from the climb portal?

Looking at purchasing my first indoor trainer and can’t make up my mind so would like some advice. I can find some kickr v4s around me for about $400 but should I spend the extra $150 on the core 2?

My understanding is the kickr v4 isn’t compatible with the click cog and my bike is a 1x12 with microspline hub so I’d have to probably get an extra cassette with the kickr as well.

What do you all think?

Thanks for the help.

I’m new to Zwift and bought a Zwift Ride. I’ll need some new indoor shoes anyway so thought I’d get some replacement pedals and clipless shoes based on what I’ve read.

Are the M520 pedals and IC100 shoes a good pairing?

Do I need an adapter or are they just compatible?

I’m UK size 8, so EU size 43 is my best fit I’m guessing?

Thanks for your help!

I have been working on unlocking the Atomic Cruiser from the 2024 Big Spin on Epic KOM over the past several weeks and wanted to share how it has gone.

I have ridden Epic KOM 13 times, and I already owned all the Big Spin wheels and the BMX Bandit before starting. My prize spins have turned out as follows from first to last: wheels, wheels, wheels, bike, wheels, wheels, bike, wheels, bike, bike, bike, bike, wheels.

Each spin I have received 25k drops for my efforts. Would not recommend for drop farming.

Sincce I already owned everything except the Atomic Cruiser, I expected it might come a bit sooner or easier. Based on these results, the weighting system feels somewhat questionable, especially given the time investment for each attempt.

I am curious how this compares to others. Did it take a similar number of tries for you to unlock the Atomic Cruiser?

This is the weekly 'No Stupid Questions' post for all the small questions that you have concerning Zwift. No matter how stupid you think they are, we have probably all asked these questions.

If your post wasn't previously answered you should post early in this thread as it might have been posted too late (new posts start Sunday 0900 GMT).

Note: Don't be afraid to ask questions during the week, this is just for the simpler questions. For example "How do I give multiple ride ons at once? "..."You do this by pressing the character arrow on the map screen of the companion app". If you require a more detailed response then it is probably better answered in its own post.

So I am looking to buy a Zwift click for virtual shifting. I currently have a Kickr (not sure which version, but bought it in 2022/23)

It has a dedicated cassette installed already, is there any point of getting the Zwift cog? (looking to buy through ebay, and the clicks only are about £15 cheaper than click with cog, so just wsant to save some money and if that is not needed at all)

I have level 5 on Zwift Steel and TT bike. I was shooting for Tron so I know I need another Zwift bike. I have the default handlebar bike, but lets be real, its kinda goofy.

I am level 38 with about 2 mil drops, 50% done w Everest Challenge

Should I buy a better/cooler Zwift bike to level 5?

Wait for level 40 unlocks and go a different direction?

Has anyone recently purchased the tennis ball rocker feet for their kickr core and Zwift ride front post? I’ve been reading about them but I’m looking for a link to the product that someone would recommend.

I bought a zwift ride 6 months ago having not owned a real bike for a number of years. I'm now looking at getting a bike to also ride outdoors. Having tinkered with my fit on the zwift ride and now being comfortable during multiple 100km+ rides I want to use that to make sure I get a sensible frame/size.

What are the key measurements I need to be looking at? Assume it is mostly reach and stack, taking into account the difference in stem length etc? Are there any online tools that I can use to help me visualise/compare my setup to real frames/bikes?

Any tips would be appreciated. Before anyone mentions it, I know I should probably get a proper bike fit but that's a discussion for another day

I did a short route this morning, Going Costal. When I finished I decided to loop around and keep going. After 5 minutes or so I realized I was riding a different route, Jungle Ruins. I’ve never seen this before, is this new?

Any tips to get the workout in the custom section like normal?

I want to try TR workout but whatever I do it doesn't syncing and show the little Z on the TR calendar.

Running the new kickr core with zwift cogs and a Samsung fold 7

And tips would be amazing

Thanks

tl;dr is this a reference to the 1980s cult classic movie The Thing?

I had cause to capture some footage of a recent climb of AdZ, and my recording software was set to capture game sound, but not mic. When watching it back just now I noticed that around Macready Point there is a faint, but noticeable, and persistent sound of dogs barking. I could only hear it around this point on the climb. I had never noticed it before because my fan is usually going full blast and I can't hear anything over that, the sound of me struggling to draw breath, and the blood pounding in my ears...

So, we have a scientific research station in a snow-covered environment, Macready (as the name of Kurt Russell's character), and dogs (which play a significant role in part of the film).

I can't believe that for all the time I've spent on Zwift, and all the times I've done that climb the thought had never occurred to me.
