Zwift and Smart Turbo Trainers ??
Education time once again chaps.
Im a runner no cyclist but after buying a Propel in the summer I am really enjoying the cycling thing and thinking now its time to get set up for the winter.
So Zwift, where do I start and some turbo recommendations please.
Cheers

Ive used Zwift with an Elite Qubo for 3 years, and it worked well with an ANT collection to a laptop. That kind of smart trainer can only simulate a hill up to about 6%
Ive just, as in this week, switched to an Elite Suito direct drive. It works very nicely, and as it comes with an 11 speed cassette I can just attach my summer road bike to it. It works well with both a laptop (ANT), and iPad (Bluetooth). It can simulate a 15% hill, which is enough for me!

Problem with the top of the range smart is the price lol, seriously if Im looking at that Id rather just see if i can score a WattBike Atom off eBay for a few hundred more and then just have the road bike for outdoors stuff...

The flywheel makes it feel a lot more realistic in fact its the closest youll get to riding on the road with a flywheel of that size the core is okay in terms of stability but the smart is really robust and a lot easier to fold up and put away and also a lot easier to move around which you dont think is an issue if you just gonna stick it in a garage and never move it but if you want to put it into multiple locations or you like to adjust things then the ease of movement is a real winner. Youll forget about the money long after you for the decent bit of kit the core I think is overpriced for what it is and I think that the smart is a far better Built unit personally.
For those that are thinking for the same money you can buy a wattbike I dont think the experience is the same wattbike is just an indoor exercise bike I like to ride my real bike on the turbo so that I get used to the position and then when I transfer that back onto the road it just feels perfect I always feel on wattbikes and any indoor exercise specific bikes that Im just pedalling whereas I can lose myself on the proper bike if that makes sense.
The other advantage over buying a wattbike is a wattbike is a big clumsy lump where is the wahoo is perfect even if you go away travelling or when youre not using it during the summer it folds away nice and neat and you can forget about it for seven or eight months

Not sure its the first time I used it this morning mate, forgot to set the kickr up properly on the Wahoo app as well, so Ive now sorted that and it has updated to the latest version, got the cadence working and also completed the spin down.
Still playing around with the Zwift app on the TV and you can count me in for the Zwift TZ group as well when you get it going...
