Sweet set up! I can't decide if I want something similar or go with a Peloton. I know they are totally different training methods. Thanks for sharing.

@@cefrayer Ahh very cool. Small KZitem world lol. How are you liking the bike set up so far. So much info out there it's hard to know if your'e making the right choice lol. Peloton is so intriguing but I do love the Zwift setup and platform as well.

@@731Woodworks I’m a workout nerd (Tonal, treadmill, cycling), but I’m new to Zwift and have no Peloton experience, so take any input from me with the proverbial grain of salt it deserves. With that said, what I absolutely love so far about my setup is that the rocker plate really makes riding inside feel exactly like riding a real bike outdoors. My *assumption* is that Peloton doesn’t have that option(???). Also, if you have any concern about whether that front leg on the Zwift Ride is steady, I assure you it is-extremely so! If I were in the same boat as you, my primary concern would be the durability of the Zwift Ride, given that it was just released in June. Pelaton, on the other hand, has been around a long time and has an excellent reputation. However, I recall reading recently that they are struggling financially, so there could be risk on that front. I have a preference for following the Wayne Gretzky philosophy: skate to where the puck is going (not where it is). Accordingly, my best current assessment is that Peloton is the past-present, while Zwift is the present-future. Personally, I’m not into high-energy (overly-emotive) personal/class trainers, so Peloton is an easy no for me. On Zwift, I can ride (and/or run) alone at any pace I’m ready for, or in leisurely group rides with people all over the world, do training challenges, workouts, and even race (I’m not ready for that yet). And as a techie (AS, BS, MS in IT) and retired technology attorney, I can see near-endless growth & improvements coming in the future for Zwift’s virtual world(s), which seems highly unlikely for Peloton given its business model. I hope that helps. Let me know what you decide. Good luck!

@@731Woodworks My pleasure. On a completely different note (although I’m hesitant to even mention this), I enjoy your videos despite the fact that (here it comes) I’m an extremely progressive atheist (borderline anti-theist). Sometimes I even chuckle at your religious shirts, but in no way does it hinder the enjoyment and education I receive from the content you create. But, unlike many atheists who feel the-in my view, unnecessary-need to distance themselves from all things religious, I enjoy your videos in much the same way as I still enjoy listening to and singing Christmas songs. Indeed, the entire Christmas season is a completely delightful experience for me every year, despite the fact that I know it’s based entirely on myths (no offense intended). What matters to me are facts, logic, science, and the reality of our existence that they reflect and improve. And one part of our reality is the world-class content you create and share, as well as your utterly-watchable presentation style. In a word, FANtastic! Although you are nothing alike, if I were ranking every KZitem creator by presentation style and watchability, you would be second only to the incomparable Doug DeMuro. Anyway, although a risky topic to raise, I thought you might be interested in knowing that your viewing audience includes at least one hardcore “unbeliever”.

I completed my first ride just after recording this yesterday, and I can confirm that my Apple Watch 7 (WatchOS 11) worked perfectly as a Heart Rate monitor on the dashboard in Zwift 1.74.2 on AppleTV 4K 3rd Gen (tvOS 18). I had the Zwift Companion app opened on both my iPhone 13 Pro (iOS 18) and my Apple Watch.

Just received my Zwift Ride Wahoo complete with the Zwift floor mat - everything is rock solid and sweat is caught by the mat! Your “Rockr Pro Pain Cave” platform seems be an unnecessary complication & my guess is that you will get rid of it “very soon”. Best of luck mate

I did a test ride before the rocker arrived and I found the frame to be too stiff for my liking (compared to the natural sway of riding a real bike outdoors). Since I installed the rocker, I’ve completed the first two routes on Zwift and I’m already thrilled with the rocker. It’s so much more natural and comfortable that I already can’t imagine Zwifting without it. Highly recommended!

I have Gymrail momentum and don't want to ride without anymore. Feels like riding outside and helps to make longer trainings

@@kuhadekuvertsuttaaThanks! I had not heard of the Gymrail, but I just went to their website and watched a video. It’s interesting (and expensive compared to my Rockr Pro), but it does not seem to be compatible with the Zwift Ride.

Is the Zwift ride easy to disassemble / assemble? I don't have the space to have it permanently set up. Cheers and thanks!
@cefrayer

Generally, I think Yes is the best answer, but it depends on what level of disassembly you need. To detach the frame from the trainer is one bolt (~30 seconds), then another 30 to loosen the seat post bolt and remove it, and lastly another 60 to remove the handlebars. Zwift has an edited assembly video that will give you a good idea of what to expect, but it was a bit more difficult than they make it look.

@@cefrayer Sounds like a 30 second set up and 30 seconds to disassemble. I'd only need to detach the frame from the trainer. I have the space to store the trainer and frame, just no space to have it just assembled in the office. Thanks for the info! It's great to get feedback from real world users.
