Before I do, I have a couple questions: Get all your awesome high quality DCR kit and gear here! It just doesn’t feel like anything close to a road bike and this bothered me almost every time I rode it over the past year. Were you able to activate successfully from NL, or did you have to do anything in Germany? As it verges on a smart trainer, I wonder how long before (a) you get peloton for smart trainers or (b) you can run zwift with resistance control on it. How does the smart bike experience compare to a smart trainer-dedicated bike combo? – Increased from 2 rear speakers (2x10w each), to 2 front and 2 rear speakers (2x3w tweets & 2x10w woofers) Etc etc etc. I’m not sure on how long, but honestly, my advice would be not to use the trade-in/credit, and instead sell and buy new. live classes, friends who have it). I was glad it went to another Peloton family for another long life. Never actually made the device as I would have likely had to buy and take apart a cheap trainer or other device to receive the signal. As someone who has been training with power for over 10 years, better interoperability with other platforms would really legitimize the Bike+ in the eyes of ‘real cyclists’ now that Peloton has finally got accurate wattage handled. As someone who does almost exclusively power zone rides, it seems like it’s pretty worthless (for now). Bike- was fairly accurate under 250w and rides less than 20 minutes. (Note: All of the charts in these accuracy portions were created using the DCR Analyzer tool. We are still in the middle of communicating with the Hardware team but thought I would update in case anyone else has the same issue. Different mechanism of course, but analogous to the older Lemond fan trainer where if you were to put a single speed bike on it, more RPM = more energy in the form of moving more air. Resistance: Neodymium rare-earth magnet system with dynamic (software-controlled) resistance control w/load cell (direct power measurement). I think with the leaderboard being a big draw and kind of a Peloton hallmark, it’s a strong argument for somehow at least being able to filter the leaderboard to bike+. – Updated from Bluetooth 4.0 to Bluetooth 5.0 All the 500 watt FTPs are going to suddenly disappear. . So the question… Now, do the workouts produced and floated over to Strava from the Bike+ change things when getting auto-synced from Strava to TP/TR/etc. Oh – on the dropouts though, to me that’s the main curiosity, and a good reason I think they should probably swap out his hardware. That is great to hear regarding improved accuracy of bike+. Did you mean 1-2% kj difference or “1-2 kj”, because the latter would be like half a watt? One of my coworkers has been loving Peloton Digital on her 3rd party cycle, so converting to the full Peloton experience was very exciting for her. The thing to keep in mind too here with Peloton is the resale value is pretty close to purchase value, so even if you don’t like it, you can always resell it pretty easily at near the price you paid for it (especially now, given they’re so hard to get ahold of). Any thoughts / recommendations would be great – I am seriously considering sending mine back due to the poor design. Rather, Peloton’s videos have managed to ‘crack the code’ to make training sticky / enjoyable for many. Since I can’t get the power data from the peloton on my watch and I know that you have to acquire the power data during the workout for it to work with the watch, how do I get the power data to my fenix?
