    What additional accessories would you add to make it smarter?

    Thank you so much. I'm an avid cyclist of many disciplines, MTB, gravel, road but regarding training I didn't want to spend a lot of money for useless features. Your video is greatly done. Best wishes upon you.

    The flywheel on my spin bike has no spokes. Where can I attach my speed sensor?

    Thanks for this video! I have a dumb exercise bike and really keen to get motivated by heart rate zone training, stats tracking, etc. Appreciate the tips in what hardware to buy and set it up. But do you have any app recommendations? It looks like you used Strava around 4:28?

      Glad you enjoyed the video. You’ve now got a smart(er) bike. The app I have used to track were the Wahoo app and the zwift app (as both are compatible with the sensors). After I’d completed the activity, the session automatically syncs to my strava (which was what I showed on screen)

    Is there any way to connect the already mounted screen with data already shown to a computer?

      This is exactly what I want to know. Looking to connect my spin bike to Zwift since two days and I am nothing but confused. There should be a much simple way to convert my mounted screen data to bluetooth signal so I can connect that to phone?

      @sameerhussain444 Glad the video helped. I agree, a company is missing a massive gap in the market to convert those older bikes into smart bikes

    Interesting video. You say the speed sensor is not set up exactly according to the instructions, which I guess would usually be on the hub of a normal push bike. So is the idea to get it as close to the centre of the “wheel” as possible and use double-sided tape or Velcro to attach it? Thanks

    • @conveyorofrandomness
      @conveyorofrandomness  Год назад +2

      Yes you’re correct. As close to the centre of the wheel as possible

      @christopherdavis473 you’ll just need to make sure that the wheel diameter of bike is correct so the virtual speed matches the actual speed.

    hey can i use app like mywhoosh or zwift with these sensors if no do you know any other apps can be run with these senors (simillar to zwift)

    • @conveyorofrandomness
      @conveyorofrandomness  4 месяца назад

      I have used these on zwift, but zwift does restrict the maximum power that that is displayed (to prevent cheating)

    Can you use this setup for zwift?

    • @conveyorofrandomness
      @conveyorofrandomness  Год назад

      Yes you can. You’ll just have to be wary that zwift limits the maximum wattage to 400w, when power is calculated from speed sensor signals
