  • I just got Zwift and set it up with my Atom, but my Garmin HR sensor isn't being picked up. Seems like this is a bit of a known issue. Anyone been able to fix it? Don't want to have to buy a new sensor just for this, really. I'm also only able to run Zwift on my phone, so don't think Bluetooth would work anyway, as it already has to connect to the WattBike.

  • Been a while since there’s been a post in here but I’m giving serious consideration to buying something like a Proton and wondered if anyone had one?

    It’s a chunk of money considering I’m not into zwift or owt but I’m currently off the bike after breaking my thumb and having surgery to repair the ligament so been considering getting a (decent) turbo and Mrs m_v could use a bike as well if I went that route.

    I dropped a bit of weight during lockdown as I was doing rollers a lot but haven’t kept it up, I imagine having a permanent set up that I could just jump on and go would encourage me to use it a lot more.

  • Recently switched out my Wattbike Atom for the Zwift Bike.

    Atom more rigid but prefer the Zwift Bike. As you'd expect, it's more compatible (less connection issues / erg mode issues) and has more features. Would recommend.

  • Zwift bike supposedly doesn’t go small enough for the missus.

    I should check the saddle height actually.

  • How small is your missus!?

    I'm 174 CM with a 76cm inside leg and there's probably another 10cm of adjustment on the seat post.

  • 4’10!

    I’ll need to check her other bike, the one in the flat has 160mm cranks and a seat height of 580mm, the Zwift bike minimum seat height is specced as 59.9cm and has 170mm cranks so I’m thinking it’ll be +/- 30mm too high.

    I presume as well that with the Zwift bike you are tied into using Zwift in order for ’gears’ to work?

  • That is pretty tiny. My mum's 4'11 hence my stature...

    Yeah. Probably not for you then. It is locked to zwift for main features.
