I feel like I’m either miscommunciating or missing the point of what you’re saying. I don’t see how a Garmin or Apple Watch (the latter of which I have) would help transmit power data to Zwift… So, let me start over by paraphrasing my original query: What is the cheapest way to use the Kickr...

Thanks. But I don’t want to “see” the info per se; I just wanted to find a method to connect to Zwift that doesn’t require spending $500-700 on power pedals or a crank arm power meter…

Thanks. I certainly could be confused! Part of my confusion may be that this Zwift page seems to indicate that at least the Garmin speed & cadence sensors I linked to would work with Zwift: https://support.zwift.com/en_us/speed-and-cadence-sensors-ryZdj7beB. (“If you have a wheel-on trainer that...

Thanks. I thought of that too. But I’d prefer to do my indoor rides on the same bike I use outdoors if possible. What about these...

Hi all, Now that we’re getting close to winter, I’m considering getting an indoor trainer. The one I’m looking at - the Wahoo Kickr Rollr - doesn’t have a power meter built-in, so you have to use a separate power meter if you want to use it with any training apps. (Before you ask: the reason I...

Interesting! I haven’t had any flats at all around here on any of the three e-bikes I’ve had since getting into this about a year ago. I’ve had/have the following: 1. Vintage Electric Cafe w. Marathon E-Plus tires (I’ve since returned this bike for unrelated reasons); 2. Lemond Dutch with...

I don’t have any of the bikes you listed, so I can’t be helpful with your specific query. But I am also located in western PA, and just wanted to mention some of the local bike shops in Pittsburgh that carry e-bikes in case you’re not familiar with them all: Trek Bicycles in Shadyside Kindred...

I’d like to hear more about that BCAA insurance + roadside assistance for bikes. I wasn’t aware that there were such policies. (I have Velosurance for my bike, but it doesn’t include roadside assistance as far as I’m aware; and I have Progressive for my car, but it doesn’t have roadside...

I also ride with an Apple Watch. Very useful. (And it’s true that the battery needs to be recharged daily, but I’m not doing multi-day or remote rides, so battery life isn’t an issue.) I would also note that whether it’s my watch or phone (which I carry in my pocket), I try to avoid looking at...

Out of curiosity, I decided to try a pair of these liner shorts from Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08F4S1TWD?ie=UTF8&th=1&psc=1&linkCode=sl1&tag=websitemake0c-20&linkId=a5ac6bb827094d2b45bfa1fa83826da8&language=en_US&ref_=as_li_ss_tl I wore them for a short ride today (around 6...

I’d recommend checking out Trek. When I first started considering e-bikes about a year ago, I reflexively dismissed Trek as too “generic”/boring; because they’ve been such a household name for so long, I just assumed their e-bikes would “decent at most things but not excellent at anything.” I...

Very helpful, thanks! One follow-up question: From your description, it sounds more like a “cruising” situation at moderate speeds with occasional/frequent slowdowns, depending on what portion of the trail you’re on. Does that sound accurate? Asking because it influences which bike I bring...

Hi all, In planning for an upcoming trip to Chicago, I came across info about the Lakefront Trail: https://www.bobbysbikehike.com/blog/chicago-lakefront-bike-trail-and-bike-rental-guide/ Although I’ve been to Chicago many (many) times and am quite familiar with the city in general, I’ve never...

Hi all, New owner of a Trek+ 4s low step here! If I understand things correctly, I have three official options if I want to increase the range for long rides: 1. The Range Boost battery; 2. The TQ HOR Range Extender; 3. A spare Powertube 500. Is that correct? If so, then I’d love to hear...

I just bought a Verve+ 4S. I wasn’t really planning to invest in another bike right now, just to test ride; but I lucked into a very steep discount and the 4S ticked a lot of boxes for me, especially after a test ride today (I was looking for many of the same factors as the OP). Will report back...

Hoagie: As a relatively new member, I too have found that there are a few very aggressive and unhelpful members who instantly jumped down my throat. They are few in number, but it can be very off-putting. On balance, I’ve found that the number of people who are helpful here outweighs the...

Following: I’m having the exact same issue with the exact same symptoms (different bike, though). I agree that since squeezing the brake lever stops the sound from happening (both on the OP’s bike and mine), the sound is related to the brakes. But what’s the solution?

And (no offense): punctuation would also help folks understand your posts better.

Interesting! Thanks for sharing. The ST5 is on my “one day…” shortlist. Has anyone seen a link to a webpage with more words and details rather than just a flashing Instagram page? (Not criticizing the OP; social media just annoys me when used as the primary channel for companies to...
