Discussion The weekly 'No Stupid Questions' post - Sun 25 Oct 2026.

7 Upvotes

This is the weekly 'No Stupid Questions' post for all the small questions that you have concerning Zwift. No matter how stupid you think they are, we have probably all asked these questions.

If your post wasn't previously answered you should post early in this thread as it might have been posted too late (new posts start Sunday 0900 GMT).

Note: Don't be afraid to ask questions during the week, this is just for the simpler questions. For example "How do I give multiple ride ons at once? "..."You do this by pressing the character arrow on the map screen of the companion app". If you require a more detailed response then it is probably better answered in its own post.

My daughter’s cardiac surgery is today - this one’s for you love - 100 miles hard.

Wanted to something “hard” out of respect for the beautiful warrior she is.

Rode 160.9km hard tempo. Never ridden 100 miles before. I am cooked, shakey, cramping, cooked.

I would rather ride 100miles than have heart surgery.

This one’s for her.

Pretty happy with 2.29W/kg

UPDATE - she is out of surgery (4hr or so), and recovering. Team will catch up with my wife later, but initial reports from recovery staff is everything has gone as well and as planned.

Discussion Cycling cloth for indoor ride help

• Upvotes

Hello guys,

im quite big rider-i have zwift as my cardio since powerlifting is my main sport.

I have quite big legs and wide shoulders for "classic" cyclist.

I want to ask you is there any specific brand of cloth which can fit me?
I have some for my classic outdoor bike but for indoor i want something more breathable and lighter.

Since most of the brand make cloth for "slim" and "narrow" people its quite hard to find something where i can fit my legs:-D

Thank you for all reply :-)

Zwift Ride V2 & Kicker Core sale vs Black Friday?

4 Upvotes

The new Zwift ride is 15% off and Kick Core is 20%.

How do these compare to Zwift sales for Black Friday and Cyber Monday from years past?

Obviously no one can predict the future, but I already have an indoor setup (which I would like to replace). Trying to determine would waiting be a good idea for the next month for bigger sales, or are these likely as good as it gets?

Any insight, especially from years past?

Discussion Does Zwift always split shipments?

3 Upvotes

Got my ship notification today. My v2, handlebars, and tablet holder are all coming tomorrow shipped only hours from me. The kickr core v2 however is coming via a different courier from out of state and won’t be here for two more days. Seems odd they don’t stock everything at one location vs splitting the shipment like this. Wish the damned tablet holder was the one coming later 😂

I built this and have been using it for quite a while now (about 4,000 km across various games), mostly in The Witcher 3, RDR2 and Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024.

You can ride freely through the games and use their worlds as your training grounds.

But you also can play the games as intended: hitting your wattage goal would, for example, make your character hit harder, heal them, or control your vehicle’s throttle.

Router Rebooting Mid Zwift Ride After 90 Minutes: Is Zwift’s Outbound Traffic the Culprit?

0 Upvotes

My router's been rebooting midride lately and I started wondering if Zwift is pushing enough constant traffic to trigger it. Runs fine at first then the lights go out after maybe 90 minutes. Restart fixes it for another session but the pattern keeps coming back. I pulled the logs and saw a steady climb in outbound packets even when everything on screen is basically static. The WiFi drops for 30 seconds each time which kicks me off whatever event I was in. Tried lowering graphics and that didn't change the traffic numbers. Anyone else seeing similar behavior with their home network gear or found a setting that keeps it more stable?

Discussion HSA and Zwift

6 Upvotes

Look, I know this question has been asked a million times, but I just want to make sure that I won’t be having to return anything as I’m really excited to start my indoor cycling journey with Zwift.

Has anyone had success recently purchasing the Zwift Ride/ Kicker core v2 bundle with an HSA through Health Equity?

I do technically have “chronic pain“ which I’ve researched (discussed with a family friend who’s a PT) that could potentially be alleviated through cycling.

I can see that this is one of the options on the TruMed survey, but I’m just wondering if anyone else has used this option through TruMed and was successful with a reimbursement?

thanks!

Discussion Shimano C50 as First wheelset?

4 Upvotes

I have heared alot of times to wait until level 29 and get one of the wheelsets you unlock there

But why are people saying they are so much better than the Shimano C50s.

When i look at Zwiftinsider they seem like good Allrounder Wheels?

Edit: I just got the Canyon Aeroad 2024 Bike and am still on the standard Steel Wheelset

I am a new player in zwift and I like the “game” it is straightforward easy to jump into, but I have been wondering the past few days when sitting on my bike enjoying the pain and sweating, why did you choose zwift and not some of the other games(sorry for me they are all games with benefits)?

How many indoor rides do you skip because setting everything up is a pain?

6 Upvotes

You want to ride after work, but then you have to get your bike onto the trainer, sort out the setup, deal with sweat and noise… and suddenly the sofa looks a lot more appealing. 😂

That's what makes a dedicated setup like the Zwift Ride interesting to me: the bike is already there, ready to go, with everything built around Zwift.

But it's not exactly cheap, so I'm curious:

Would having a dedicated indoor bike make you ride more often, or is it just an expensive convenience?

Mini-computers for Zwifting

12 Upvotes

Black Friday/ cyber Monday is coming up. I have a bit of spare cash burning a hole in my pocket.

I think a mini computer for the pain cave may be on the cards. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Budget is c. €300-€400. I may stretch that if the bang/buck ratio is worth it

Hardware Got my KICKR CORE 2’s power, cadence and heart rate into Home Assistant

6 Upvotes

Had an ESP32 sitting around as a Bluetooth proxy and figured it could also grab my KICKR’s stats for Home Assistant.

It runs ESPHome and reads power, cadence, and heart rate over Bluetooth. My Magene HR monitor is paired through KICKR Bridge, so all three come from the trainer. The ESP32 still works as a regular Home Assistant Bluetooth proxy too.

Tested it during a Zwift ride. Next up is to have it create a light party (and control my fan)

First time putting the bike on the trainer. Seems a bit loud. I did accidentally take off the rear derailer while attempting to take off my back tire, and I did notice one of the B-Tension screws pop out a bit. It’s in-tact, though I can see the blue portion of the screw. Could some more experienced folk please provide some insight?

thank you :)
