What trainer did you end up getting?

I broke a shift cable on my trainer bike last week and when I went to replace it I realized it has over 13k miles on it!

And I rode nearly 2k miles with my son's bike on my trainer the first year I got it. all told, I've ridden over 15k miles on my trainer in the last four years.

Hi John,
Hope all is well.
It is world wide shortage of smart trainers. I couldn't get Elite Suito
that I was hoping for. The only one reasonably priced and available was
Zcycle Smart Pro.
I ordered it from Italy and arrived in 5 days.
It was US$500 including shipping and duties.
It works well, very accurate and quiet.
Only downside is that tire starts to lose grip on inclines higher than 8%.
I'll try different tire. Regular tires could work better than trainer one.

I have question about uploading ride to Rwgps and Strava.
What is the best way to do it?
How do you get those pictures attached?
All the best.

I'm not surprised that smart trainers are sold out. With the whole covid mess, a lot more people are riding indoors. Does the Zcycle Smart Pro adjust the resistance to match the video?

To upload activities from VeloReality to Strava or RwGPS, you need to do it manually. From the Vride app, click on the "My data" tab at the top. It will take you to the folder where they're saved.

Alternatively, if you use Garmin, you could upload your activities to Garmin Connect and it would automatically share them with the others, if you have it set to do so.

As for the pictures, they're just screenshots. If you press Windows + Print screen, they're saved to a folder. I forget the default location of that folder, as I've renamed it and have it saved on my Quick Access menu. I'm sure you could find it, though.

Good luck and enjoy!

Thanks John,

I got that part, uploading ride data, I wasn't sure about pictures.
Yes, trainer adjusts resistance very accurately.
It's friction type, not direct drive.
Thanks
