In theory, the ICG App should enable you to monitor and track your cadence, power, and total output throughoutįirst of all, awesome turnout! A big thanks to the 204 people that answered it. The Flywheel Home bike still works with the ICG App. While this (at least power meter pedals) is the most expensive choice, a used flywheel home bike with an inexpensive set of power meter pedals is likely much less expensive than a comparably accurate training tool like an ICG IC7. You can use third party sensors like power meter pedals to get extremely accurate data which transmits directly to your app/head unit of choice. Power meter pedals or cadence sensors.Since most people pay significantly less for remaining home bikes vs a comparable IC5, the bike is a great value with its solid construction and smooth resistance.Īt this point, there are essentially four ways. The bike itself is as well made as any IC5, and thus the mechanical working is quite sturdy. With a little bit of work, almost anything. What can I do with my Flywheel Home Bike?

Service calls have been reported as $115 for the visit plus $115/hr. The bike is still serviced by LifeFitness. The integrated tablet on some flywheel home bikes may still be able to access a browser but are otherwise pretty much useless.

Instead, it outputs only a proprietary bluetooth output designed to be work with the Flywheel app. Also, unlike an ICG IC5, the Flywheel Home Bike does not transmit cycling power and cadence over ANT+ and Bluetooth.

The Flywheel Home Bike is a modified ICG (LifeFitness) IC5, but with a 1:11 (rather than 1:10) gear ratio and Look Delta compatible pedals. And some people who did trade them in kept them because Peloton’s logistics contractor was not picking up Peloton bikes during the some of the COVID-19 shutdown. Many people did not trade in their Flywheel Home bikes.

Most Flywheel Home Bike owners were offered a free trade-in for a Peloton bike. As part of the settlement of that claim, Flywheel ceased offering on-demand classes as of March 27, 2020. Peloton sued Flywheel Sports for various intellectual property infringement claims arising out of Flywheel Sports’ Flywheel Anywhere product. If anyone has some adds/deletions, comment here and then I'll ask u/clipin to hang it for us. Looking to do an FAQ or wiki for this sub. Has anybody actually managed to do that? Please post your graphs and tell me what's the right way to pace/finish that damn test :) If it appears again in 17+ minutes in that I have extra energy for that anaerobic effort should I just keep going steady with the same avg wattage? It seems almost impossible to pace so that you'd be empty precisely by the end of 20 or 60 mins without having any energy left to surge in the end. Anyway, next time is going to be the one )

And I don't go too easy on them tests either, I even threw up once after a full 60min steady effort FTP ride up the AdZ, that one also ended with a surge. Every time I start out with the intention to do a perfect horizontal line but fail every single time. And all of my FTP test graphs look like this, 20 and 60 minute ones. Fine by Zwift instructions but an epic failure according to TrainerRoad blog. Held 258 watts avg for exactly 19 minutes having slightly increased the pace by few watts over time an then somehow pushed the average to 261 in the last minute. I just did the 20min FTP 'shorter' test today, was nauseous for a good 5 minutes afterwards. I think they just misworded and did not mean to say that 'ideally' you have to start too high. It starts a little high because of your excitement, then you settle in and even out, then finish just a little high.Īlso, what about this smile, why should I try to achieve this instead of a nice horizontal line? Or a gently rising line. What form do the lines take? Ideally your graph should be a subtle smile. But why does Zwift give so different instructions then. I guess I would agree with TrainerRoad, their explanation makes sense to me. Avoid the temptation of doing this - a big last-minute anaerobic contribution can artificially lift your power number, disproportionately skewing your results. >Often athletes will get to the 16-minute mark of their 20-minute test and think, “I’m not suffering enough” and drill it for the last four minutes. As you all know Zwift recommends to go all out in the last minute of the 20min test.
