Thanks for watching!
I like your motto. Similar to mine. “Buy once cry once”.
Chris forgot to mention his Wahoo underpants, and Wahoo mat
😂😂😂 I'm saving those for my "wicked set up vid!!"
He’d have to take off his Zwift undies to wear em...😂
Excellent tuition.
So many questions answered. Thanks
Great vid Chris Easy to understand clear instructions, covering all bases thank you for sharing .
I'd like to see a CH video put together of a pre-ride stretch routine, day before and day of what to eat/drink before a big race and a short weight training session that will benefit riders, cheers and great job guys
Does the ant plus dongle come with the trainer?
Many thanks for this, as a new Zwifter was a little lost not knowing what I was really doing. Could you explain the ERG mode if you can switch it off/On during the ride.
Great content. I just picked up the new Saris H3 so this is extremely helpful. Thanks for putting out this content.
I've just ordered mine. How have you been getting on with it. Any issues?
James Abbott I have had no issues at all. I use it primarily with Zwift and it connects right away and I’m ready to go. My family is extremely happy as it truly is almost quiet. The old “dumb”trainer sounded like an airplane and this one is Silent. I’m really happy.
How much did wahoo pay for the first 2 minuts 🤔
😂😂😂 absolutely nothing! Although I think I should after that plug!!
I just want to mention that I was in the office when Chris was filming this
I am putting this on my CV
If you want a job in media or marketing... I'd not mention it!! 😂😂😂
Well at least your CV wont be blank then.
Tayeb McCabe that’s not entirely true
I also have a diploma for tying my shoes
If you want a job in wahoo
Rozan Höznik if I get free stuff, why not?
Why do you rec turning off pain effect ?
I can’t figure out how to get my laptop to except a Bluetooth connection so my question is if I use my cell phone pier the trainer my Apple Watch etc. to my phone, and then take my laptop and HDMI cable it to my big screen TV will that all work together?
Can I just use the phone app and mirror it to my TV just using Blue Tooth or do i need to have the ANT + either way?
Exactly the video I was looking for! Thanks!
after seeing 1 minute of video I can relate to this. blown up 2 50 bucks tiers for wheel on trainer. just got a direct drive smart trainer, let's see how this goes :))
Absolutely the best video on Zwift and I've watch loads on them. THANK YOU X
Thank you for the kind words Lorna. Glad you found it helpful!
I am after buying some Wahoo Y Fronts, do you have a link I can get some from please Chris? Ta very mush x
Great, helpful video for a person new to Zwift
Excellent video Chris, thanks for breaking down how to get started for new riders like myself!
Great video Chris, thank you. You answered the question I have had for a while now,( how is my classification determined). Thank you and Ride On!
thank you for this video
Every Zwift video I have seen has someone fixed up with a racing bike, I don't have one, I have a MTB, can I put one of these on a direct drive trainer, maybe Tacx? I would say yes, but as I have never ever seen it, plus the fact that I know some MTB riders who Zwift using a racer, and I felt I should ask. Thanks
At 11:00 you referred to "XP". What is that?
Can you teach me how to gear shift?
Is there any advantage in having a ANT+ dongle if you're using a laptop with BT (all of them) and all sensors (trainer, power meter, HT sensor) have BT support anyway?
Very helpful, 👍
Fantastic explanation. Many thanks. I´m using a non-smart back wheel-on trainer. My bike is equiped with Garmin hardwear for the sensors (speed and heart band) and a Stages power/cadence meter. Zwift only recognizes the Stages power meter, which is fine for the application, but I can´t arrive to connect the heart sensor. Any idea how to fix this? Thanks in advance.
Ricardo
Thanks for all the great information, I appreciate it.
Can you use it with a Bodybike trainer?
By the way, Kibbitz is a Yiddish language term for talking or chatting amongst friends.
How do i ride a route i have saved as a gpx file?
Is that possible?
@@tanmay5513 I believe so, you can upload a gpx file to ride as a workout. It won’t visually match the route but the resistance matches the climbs/descents etc
Tell zwift to allow an enhanced close up of the terrain so we can see the upcoming risers and hills, etc. it’d be great to see that so you can prepare for efforts in races and hard groupies. Also zoom out so I can see the whole map if I’m exploring. #wishlist
I know this comment is old but the companion app lets you see the whole map
where did you buy the Wahoo ftp booster for the 356w ftp?
Can I connect smart trainer with Zwift over BT?
Should be able to!? Which trainer is it?
Really informative video!
Good guide Chris 👍🏼
Great video ; just as the title says thanks !
What is best in terms of reliable connectivity? Bluetooth or Ant+?
ANT+ with a USB extender!!
So is wahoo the brand I should be looking at haha
99 day free trial?!?!
Was it me or was it a Wahoo advert🧐! Good video after first 2 mins though
😂😂😂 not an Ad!! Simply me saying this is what I use and how much I love it!!! Thanks Tony!!
Great video but FYI, there is a spelling mistake in your video thumbnail, in the word "Beginners".
Why dont I have the Lightweight wheels in my drop shop?
They are only available from the top of the alpe when the wheel spins... Luck of the draw I think getting them!!
He says its for beginners and then goes straight into using jargon every other word!! Thanks!!
Wahoo sells your stand/table for 299.99, but I purchased the same identical table for 156.95. I guess its a generic brand that everyone relabel.
0:46 What? The Kickr Snap is like half the price of a direct drive trainer. The trainer specific tire doesnt add that much haha.
Sorry, for this video is NOT for beginners, it is huge expensive!!! Could you provide the inexpensive option please (cheaper trainer, non-automatic options please)
some beginners have kickrs....
I wanted to know how to use zwift not listen to you plugging something I can't afford!
Low rent version is this. Walmart bike, a wheel on trainer (I have a kinetic road machine control), a trainer tire for your rim, a laptop, and an ant+ dongle with extension. Considering you may already have the laptop, all in should be 600-650 dollars depending on how much you spend on the bike. I am currently using a 200 dollar schwinn mtn bike. I spent about 500 on my trainer. It has kept me interested and I've been using it almost every day. You may be able to get used for cheaper. Mine was brand new.
haha nevermind the tips how on earth did you get an 99 day free trial ?!?
Need a f'n loan from the World Bank to afford all that kit! :)
😂😂😂 its not about the kit... It's about Zwift! I was merely just saying this is what I'm lucky enough to use! 🍀😊
Buy once; cry once
You really should not encourage people to throw things away and get another because they are so cheap. We should be repairing things where possible no matter how cheap they are and not adding to the landfill.
Spent someone’s hard earned drop lol
The FATTEST?! NO 🤣🙋♂️
For beginners? What if they don't like it after lashing out all that money. Talk about too much information and knowledge presumed. This is not for a beginner. This is the worst video on RUclips for beginners. Being a Yorkshireman and by your accent, you may well be one yourself I'm sure you don't mind me making myself plain.
No entendi ni madres. Pero igual lo vi :v
Gracias!
Is this sponsored? If so you're supposed to mention it...
No it's not.
"in my opinion its better to save as much money as you can and invest heavily in your equipment
when it comes to hardware. My motto is buy cheap buy twice. It's always worth investing as much
money as you can..." JFC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO DUMB!!!!
Contradict much?
Save as much money as you can until you can afford the good stuff..... You clearly didn't understand what i was saying, i could call you dumb for trying to be smart but it's probably a genuine mistake of you not understanding correctly.... Have a good day
@@chrispritch you literally contradicted yourself. It’s simple. Further context doesn’t clarify your statement. I was left seeing that your setup is extremely expensive. I’d suggest being clearer next time.
Yawn
