    Tried the exact same garden sprayer and also tried a regular pump and pumping like i was superban and the beads did not pop. I had to go to the gas station and use their comoressor. Done. Dont waste your time, just do it right.

    Thanks for this - fixed a 4 year old Whyte dropper today with the aid of your easy to follow video - it’s been slow/sticking and driving me mad for ages despite regular ‘short services’!! Better than new now 👍👏 Just one odd query - when releasing the air I use a shock pump with a pressure release valve - as the air expelled there was an amount of foam and liquid expelled too - it looked clear like water, not oil , no odour - any idea what this might have been ??

    Good video! I have one question, i don’t get how zwift would know in what resistance the trainer is in. Because you could be in the lightest resistance compared to a heavier one with the same cadence, but obviously the wattage would differ.

    • @Scottslookingabout
      @Scottslookingabout Před 2 lety

      zwift determines the resistance when you stop pedaling and the time the wheel free spins to a stop in the setup steps. values like wheel size are faked in setup.

    Very helpful video - however, I don't think Zwift can detect many second hand Polar heart rate monitors. They may have changed to Bluetooth recently (2019?), but previous models use a proprietary ("coded") signal. I have 5 Polar HRMs, none of which I can use with anything except a Polar watch. Zwift's site says they can detect any HRM that uses ANT+ or Bluetooth.
