I bought a Kickr and like many mine was faulty. Wahoo were rubbish in terms of support and in the end I just wanted my money back. In all the meantime I discovered my local gym(which I’m signed up to for 12 months) has several watt bike pro’s. I’ve since successfully managed to get a few decent work outs via my phone / trainer road / and the watt bike pro. It pairs well and I’ve no complaints aside from no erg mode.
When the power requirements, as part of the session change, it can be frustrating and sometimes a bit difficult to adjust the bike in order to get the resistance just right. In the end my work out graph can look at bit wonky although you can see it hitting the requirements of the session reletivly accurately.
What does people on here think of using a non erg mode device like the watt bike pro? Is it something I should be mindful of ? As my workout graphs are not exactly smooth or is the money saving with just living with the slight annoyance?
I do 100% of my training on erg mode but earlier this year I had to spend some time offshore and the wattbike was my only option. I did all my workouts wo erg and I actually liked it. It was good to change a little bit and they have that graph showing how well you’re pedaling which I found a nice feature to improve my technique …
Late to the party here. Does anyone have any advice on how to approach VO2 30-30s or 30-15s on a Wattbike Pro? Jumping quickly between 320 W and 130 W is not ideal using either the air or magnetic resistance.
How are people approaching them, backpedaling in between?
