Do you ride on Zwift? Let us know đ
Yes. But I have massive problems with the gear allignment on my Kickr Core, I can only use 3 gears and only the small chain ring without waking up my neighborhood.
Any tips?
Yeah !
@@tihohohoho Just unscrew the two screws at the bottom and take out the circular metal piece. Clean it off, give it a good wipe, then put it back in and tighten the screws.
I used to, now I am back to The Sufferfest.
Yup. Cant get my Apple Watch 6 to link up as a heart monitor though and its breaking my heart!
"Just ask Connor." đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Just recently got started with Zwift. I was quite hesitant at first, mostly because I didn't know exactly what I needed to set it up and get it to work, but it turned out to be pretty easy. And the fact that you can try and ride a climb like Alpe d'huez was a big motivator.
I didnÂŽt know you could do such thing! Does that mean you can try and ride a tour de france stage too?
Thanks Manon....I wish Iâd known these tips and tricks before I signed up 8 weeks ago....Still my FTP has almost doubled using the 4 week FTP Builder and (4 weeks into) 10 week FTP Builder...I started by not being able to finish the training session, now itâs rare that I donât finish....Keep the great videos coming Manon & GCN Team
Thanks, Manon, I joined yesterday and found it all terribly overwhelming, this was very useful in helping to understand what's going on
The more Manon, the better!
I'd listen to her describe the intricacies of automatic can openers for an hour. What at utter dream.
đ
Yes yes yes!!!
@@Jules.C. are you australian?
@@freewheels7544 no i'm from belgium
Perfect video to get started on Zwift. Great overview of all the basics you need to know, very well explained. Also, the length of the video was perfect. Great job Manon and GCN.
You are most likely the only one who can explain to the point that I actually understand đ
Thank you Manon, this was really helpful. I joined the Zwift family today after my Wattbike arrived. Loving it so far but I think I need full-on airconditioning!
You will find this very helpful - great coverage of all things to get you started, well explained by Manon. Thanks, team đ
I got a trainer for Christmas and am very excited to use Zwift to get back into shape
Thanks Manon. Just did my first ride on zwift today and this was helpful.
Great stuff đ It's such a good training tool!
Thanks...I'm new to Zwift and this video was a big help
Thank you. Very nice and concise.
Not into Swift, but will watch pretty much anything Manon hosts. Thanks.
I can listen to you all day!
Perfect timing for me. Just started on Zwift this week! Thanks for the tips đ I just need to know how to stop myself from setting off full gas with all those other cyclists to chase down! I must learn to ignore âClose the gap!â
Great fun though! I did a few âcrossoverâ sessions using GCN training sessions while riding in the Zwift world. I could concentrate on what Hank was telling me to do, so I was less inclined to chase down everyone! Lol! Itâs all good fun, but my legs are feeling it!
You should look up zwift a beginners guide by photogenic. Very informative.
@@MrIanD1 thanks IanD. Will do!
6 months into Zwift but I learnt some stuff anyway, thanks!
I like to hear manon on tips about cycling and I hope. Manon you and all the guys at GCN had a nice Christmas đâđ
Awesome - many thanks.
I love how tactful Manon is when she refers to a smart trainer vs a "classic" trainer instead of a smart trainer vs a dumb trainer.
I've just started zwifting and so far I'm enjoying it only problem I'm having is setting up my trainer as controllable
I love GCN's just there in the comment section like, what else company that's big, does something like that.
I just bloody like that!
Manon, GCN love the video, massive thumbs up.
Great tutorial thanks
Thanks for this. Bought a second hand bike today to get started with improving sone cardiovascular conditioning. đ
Now you do this, I've been zwifting since 2016. Maybe heather fell can do the Zwift running tutorial on GTN.
Itâs simple, I see Manon, I hit like!

Wanted to say that the simp meme is cringy and dead but it was used for a right cause this time
Uh, I think you guys need to look up that definition before using it.
@@aspenwagon04 i think you should stop being such a smart a** and appreciate the comedy
Happy new year đ GCN
This timing is great for me.
Very nice presentation.
I really want that Zwift specific espresso maker you have there Miss Lloyd
This looks so fun!!!
"four horsemen" route for your first meetup :D excellent choice :D :D :D
I've been trying to buy a Wahoo Kickr Core since October,LBS.Wahoo UK Wiggle,Sigma,Wheelbase all out of stock,
Looks like I'll be out on the 'Gravel bike' again,when the ice has thawed out..
#Keepin it real...
Can't wait to try that with my E Bike!!
I need to do this!
Why do I love everything about Manon ?
Very helpful đ
cool stuff. wow. looks so fun
Thanks đđ
Great video! Especially for winter/lockdown.
Nice, just got a smart trainer and Zwift today
#GCN Only on level 6 and just starting out on Zwift. I am 100% hooked! Thank you for getting me started.
Always my favorite presenter
I'm in love with this babe â€ïž
Been Zwifting for 2 and a half years... why am I watching this? đ
Because of Manon?
@@Mr1986marek I like Manon, but I started watching GCN for Matt Stephens getting pizza slices from Dan's back while riding a bike.
Manon!
@@AlejandroMallea Haven't seen that one, thanks for a tip :)
@@Mr1986marek It's a classic video. Search for "GCN what not to eat"
Personally, I've found Ant+ much more reliable than Bluetooth. You just have to make sure the sensors are close.
this can be the case for a lot of users, particularly if other bluetooth devices are being used in the same place as a bit of interference can occur
@@gcn if we going further to powermeters, allways set up in Ant + to see ALL the data that you dont understand :P
@@gcn Truely.
I have to switch using iPad for Zwifting, due to its more stable performance.
Now I need a video on how I get off the couch get my kit on and go down to the basement and actually use my Zwift setup
Lovely Manon..
Please Moreeee Manonnnn Conten.. :)
Thanks.
that look so amazing, do you need a specific bike ?
I just got off zwift and this pops up, perfect timing!
Same here!
Starting to think about getting one of these for next winter. Looks like the graphics could use some solid work, but as far as a whole experience, looks pretty nifty.
I am in love đ
I see Manon, I click
Great thorough information, cute presenter, cheers!
I don't even use Zwift but i still watched the upload because MANON :)
Well explained although I missed a budget price level for the different options and more exactly which packages go together. Also, if it's possible to get started with the trainer and a laptop and then build on top of that later on
Thought the exact same thing...
Strange my Sensors has more problems with bluetooth.
On ant+ the problems are gone.
Both are sending on 2.4ghz but ant+ is better
I find Ant+ more stable also.
I just started using this app. I am still in the trial period and I am very confused. This video helped thank you. I have a question for you if you don't mind, where the numbers are saved? Every time I go in the cadence and speed sensor reads cero. Does any numbers get saved if you walk away in the middle of a race? I am still in the trial period and I am very confused. This video helped a bit.
Question GCN.
Does Manon now hav extra weight on the right hand side of her handlebars to off set the weight of that engagement ring :D
A bit late to the party but CONGRATS MANON.
My kICKR snap arrived today , done 11 miles with some hills..... needed to watch this video first.....the hills killed me....
Very helpful but what do the different coloured fluroescent bikes represent?
Brilliant vid Manon. I have a basic set up just to keep fit in the winter. I don't race etc, but try and do 12 miles each night. Love it. Your vid included all users rather than people with smart trainers. Good stuff. đ
Manon. â€ïž
A discussion of the pull up icons at the bottom of screen showing camera location and sound? The crowd, or music or? Thanks
Can I please ask you to clarify the following?: If I have a smart trainer like Wahoo Kckr 2 or 3 or 4, and a swift account / subscription and a smart TV, can I play swift (and my ride) directly through my smart TV? Or do I have to play it through Apple TV? If I have to go through Apple Tv, do I need the Apple TV box even if I have Apple TV installed as an app on my smart TV...?
I see Manon I watch đ
This will fit nicely with the other 5 or 6 how to zwift gcn vids.
Gotta make the dough and we pay for it via Zwift :)
This lady is absolutely gorgous. The swift is decent too :)
Must be nice to have a sweet setup
Lockdown been here for 99% of the year and this vid has only just dropped?đ No free promo in this world aye
I am happy with the Zwift training but I am struggling with "normal" rides as I donÂŽt understand how to read the profile of a route. I am always changing gears too late what costs me a hell of energy.
Newbie here! Who could tell me if using a regular trainer stand, +wahoo speed sensor would be enough to enjoy Zwift.
A regular trainer stand combined with the speed sensor is all you need to use Zwift. The only downside is that the resistance you feel on the bike will not adjust automatically based on the elevation you're riding on in the game (like a smart trainer would). But it will still allow you to measure your power, speed, and interact with the rest of the virtual riders.
Zwift looks like it's fun and could be a useful off season training tool. Not sure why so many are angry about this video. Jealous? I am just a bit. I'd like to have a trainer like that and it's not a new concept. People have been using trainers for years.
Is there a way to find out your cycling wattage without a power meter?
Can you advice me
Which is better relive and germin?
is Zwift on a console system such as xbox or playstation, looking at getting a wahoo kickr and getting onto zwift ?
Very nice! I would have appreciated if the video was released before I join zwift đđ
What works best? a computer like a Mac Mini , or apple TV 4k or something else?
Do we need to steer too or just working with pedals?
how do I learn more about the levels in Zwift ?
Im having issues getting my cadence sensor connected properly... either it doesn't provide a reading, provide "infinite" numbers or connects eventually and provide accurate readings... any suggestions?
Zwifting on rollers is the best :D
Manon = instant like
Would love to give this a go but am on a really tight budget, so what is the most affordable set-up, rollers and a power meter? Thanks
A wheel-on smart trainer (e.g. Wahoo Kickr Snap) is usually more budget friendly, and you won't need a separate power meter.
What is trick to riding faster on hills? Higher cadence? Higher watts?
how do you get your phone/ tablet to show on the tv? if the smart trainer is using the bluetooth of the device how can one then project that device display to a big screen? Can a laptop be used with zwift while the phone/tablet is connected via bluetooth to trainer?
Does Rouvy and Zwift have sounds (street sounds, raining etc)
Need to add use a good fan and epic playlist and wireless headphones
I use an echo Dot for sounds and turning fans on and off. And message my wife to bring more water... theoretically
No mention of the key bit. How do you connect to your TV?
Zwift â€ïž
how do I use it outdoor tho
I have a stupid question, how do I correalate my resistance on a Schwin IC4 with the inclination differences on a Swift Course ?? ty in advance ...
The big problem with the stick is that the Ant+ protocol is supported, but no Ant+ FE-C. This means that the stick can receive readings from a smart trainer (in my case TacX Flow Smart) and pass them to a training software (in my case Zwift), but it can't do commands such as resistance adjustments in ERG workouts or on slopes, send it to the smart trainer. Can someone help with an device that works with FE-C? Bluetooth or ANT+ (dosen't matter) ??
Has anyone tried the HR2VP app? It's meant to turn heart rate into a power reading and be quite accurate ISH. So should make zwift more accessible of it works. Might be a good review for a comparison to an actual power meter
Shpandex power! :)
Need to make the GCN kit available so I can choose it for my person
They have it gogcn
Iâm interested because Iâd like to virtually connect my 8years old to his grand fatherâs, who are in two different continents. Grandpa train to stay in shape, and my son loves to bike.
Please let me know if zwift is the right app for this
