I got the tennis ball feet today and they work great for $20, with the block still needed a little more height so temporarily using some soft matting. I'll add a better mat next week. But a 30 minute ride felt a lot better on the joints.

That’s probably good enough I see a lot of people really like those.

How does this compare to a regular bike?

It's always ready to ride.
Not putting wear on your expensive drive on your normal bikes.
No need for bike swapping.
Virtual shift is awesome
steering and braking
Can actually ride the Zwift MTB course

Yeah, all this. I don't steer nor do I brake. But I do like the dedicated bike and the virtual shifting. I can't imagine going back.

I have never ridden the MTB course. Not even sure how to do that?

 

[Jeremy]

Look at what I started

Did your handlebars ship separately? I opened the box and I’m like WTF? Then I checked and I have a separate tracking number for the Zwift bars.

 

[Glenn Rides After 4 PM CST]

Yes..It arrived in 3 boxes

Repack Rush
You can enter it off of Titans grove route.
Some really steep spots.

Is that the singletrack you cross on the Ventoux climb?

I did
When I bought mine that was the only way to get it.

Absolutely not

 

[Steve Vai]

Absolutely not

Oh, then find out what that is please. I did all of France and nothing I did went that way.

I watched a video of it. The one I’m talking about is mentioned on the forum but it isn’t an open route yet. There’s a ton of gravel and singletrack in the France Map that isn’t usable yet.

yup, I hear you. There are crossings like that many places. It would be cool to see new expansions.

We;ve gotten to the point where people want to ride gravel even inside? What's this world coming to?

Covered with ice and snow. Duh.

I heard Zwift is making a gravel specific bike for it. The road one won't work.
