Turbo Trainer

Come join our Cali group on zwift

Calling all Zwifter’s

I’ve started a new thread, away from the Turbo Trainer thread where this discussion started, so as to concentrate just on organising a Zwift event for all us indoor cyclists. My thoughts are the first event will be a group ride, mainly as a friendly test event to see how things go. This way...

Thanks Just checked the thread and messaged Moaksey.

Thanks Jim got the App loaded up and it’s great on the TV which was why I opted for Apple TV route.

I had an old version of Apple TV but the 4th generation 4K one is a big leap forward with the Apps.

Sending the data from the bike was more what I meant but it looks like connection should be fairly straight forward with Bluetooth.

Yes it is, just remember that the Apple TV is limited to the number of bluetooth connects it can make, so if you have other devices (speakers, phones etc.) turn off the bluetooth otherwise you may struggle to get a reliable connection to the trainer. MY Tacx Flux (1st Gen) has had a few troubles staying connected when I've had my phone connected to a separate bluetooth speaker in the vicinity of the Apple TV. If you want to go down the route of having a heart rate monitor or other devices, have a look at the NPE CABLE device. It takes the ANT+ signals from your bike devices and converts them into one bluetooth signal for Apple TV.

Thanks. I’ll see how things work out and update here.
