About this deal

Kinetic has gone out and introduced three new products; two trainers and one upgrade kit. It’s a pretty customer-friendly approach for past customers, which will enable them to upgrade their existing Kinetic trainers with this new electronic controlled piece. That’s cool. ERG Mode: Setting a specific power level – i.e., 230w. In this mode, no matter what gearing you use, the trai Yes, it doesnt talk to my garmin. Of the people I know with a Smart trainer, probably around 20 or so, 1 uses his trainer with his garmin, the rest of us use trainer road, or zwift.

In addition, as of Nov 24th, Kinetic is also including an 11-speed cassette in the box. At some point in the next few months they’ll work to get that actually pre-installed, but hey – including it in the box is way better than not including it at all. In my case, I was pre that date, so I just went out and bought another. By now Wiggle assumes I’m laundering in cassettes. Your data is Your data and you can take it wherever you want: Strava, 2PEAK, Training Peaks, FIT files, CSV files, etc. Aucun capteur ou module complémentaire supplémentaire n'est nécessaire. La nouvelle connectivité ANT + permet également de diffuser les données d'entraînement directement sur les ordinateurs de vélo en utilisant le protocole de communication comme les appareils Garmin ™ ou les applications d'entraînement qui permettent d'utiliser des dongles ANT + sur les ordinateurs de bureau.

For everyday objects the energy unit in the metre-kilogram-second system is the joule. A 2-kg mass (4.4 pounds on Earth) moving at a speed of one metre per second (slightly more than two miles per hour) has a kinetic energy of one joule. The unit in the centimetre-gram-second system is the erg, 10 −7 joule, equivalent to the kinetic energy of a mosquito in flight. The electron volt is used on the atomic and subatomic scales. Wattage measurements are also based on a ‘virtual power’ algorithm that relates to wheel speed rather than an actual strain gauge or torque measurement. That means it won’t spike suddenly under power to give peak readings until the wheel has actually accelerated up to speed. The fluid temperature takes a while to warm up, too, and reach the correct viscosity for accurate readings, but once it is the wattage figures are consistently accurate when cross calibrated with the Stages cranks on our test bike.

Next, you’ll see that it’s highly latent. In the graph I’ve linked to, I smooth it by 3s to make it easier to see. Either way, you can see it totally misses the sprints. Surges within that are also missed, because it’s still trying to ‘catch-up’ from the previous sprint. This missing of embedded sprints is sometimes seen on wheel-on trainers, but not anywhere near this degree.

By the way, I am leading a group of product developers inside an IT company. This is basic stuff here guys, just ask anyone. Where this unit shines is on constant steady state rides and sprints (unless you are a super sprinter). I'm 51 and have lost 20 lbs riding and watching what I eat so I'm not churning out 1500 watts on a sprint. My max sprint is around 750 watts. I think the unit can take a good bit more than that as well. But if you want a smart trainer that you can really throw around, the big green machine is for you.

I understand your arguments (your blog entry pending) that BT is the future. However, Ant is very much the present, like it or not. Here are three reasons why, for me at least, a BT only solution is a complete no go: I personally don’t really understand why I need to control my trainer using my Garmin. So for my uses, it works well. This trainer is best suited to long-standing climbs and to be used in a fixed location, where it will not need to be moved. Value So all in all we are VERY disappointed with this unit. The customer experience is quite bad. It seems to me they rolled out this device way too soon and are marketing features on it that are not yet tried and proven to work.

Real-world wobbly riding

After the update has successfully complete, unplug the power cord from the Smart control resistance unit, then replug the power cord into the trainer. Built lightweight SDKs for every platform (.NET, iOS, Android, Mac, Windows) to make it stupid simple for software engineers to add support for our tech (Zwift, Trainer Road and more -> all had zero issues and zero complaints) The power accuracy is what impressed us the most – not many trainers can boast of such accuracy at this price point. You may encounter minor inaccuracies during sudden RPM changes or while really pushing the trainer to the edge but that’s expected. 5. COMPATIBILITY
