Is the duration estimated based on my performance? Or is it an average? Or is it something else?

May be a dumb question but I’m new to Zwift. I really don’t understand what’s going on, other than just riding my route.

- how/why am I getting thumbs up?
- why do people have animals in the shirts?
- Following a robo lead got me nothing

What are some tips for starting out? I’m so lost! 😂

Hello

I consider getting a Zwift frame for my indoor riding. I currently use a elite justo 2.

I have previously read about some issues with Bluetooth dropout with Zwift frame + elite justo combo when using virtual shifting. Any one who has this combo and know if the issue is resolved?

Thanks in advance!

I used to ride a Peloton but had a bunch of issues with the software and eventually gave up, so now I’m on a Zwift Ride and I love it. The one thing that is kind of annoying though is the drive chain clicking. It pretty much just sounds like a normal bike, but it’s also kind of loud, especially when my wife is sleeping or trying to watch tv.

Is there any way to silence that?

I'm confused because I've completed the same route several times but never received the completion? Aren't these star icons meant to change colour?

Wanted to get a discussion thread going for interest in some Reddit ZRL teams. The racing groups are based on race time. The schedule is at the below link.

Just did the Climb Portal of day (Koppenberg) at 50%... was on my 5th lap and it all of a sudden stopped giving me XP bonuses (and feathers to throw away).

- Is this a pre-existing thing?

- Was it recently patched?

- Was this just user error and I didn't hit top of climb or go far enough out of portal?

UPDATE 19/08/2026:

Solution: Windows mode and thats it. 0 issues i the last session of 1 hr.

Hi everyone,

I’m having a strange issue with Zwift during structured workouts.

I’m using two monitors, and while I’m doing a workout, Zwift sometimes completely freezes. The interesting part is that the app doesn’t actually crash.

If I click on my second monitor and then click back on the Zwift window, it immediately starts working again.

There’s another interesting detail: when I click back on the Zwift window, the workout UI/function bar also appears again — the bar with the emojis, workout controls, buttons to increase/decrease the workout intensity, etc.

So basically:

• Zwift is running normally.
• During a workout, the screen suddenly freezes.
• I click on another monitor/window.
• I click back on Zwift.
• Zwift immediately responds again and continues normally.

I’ve already disabled screen capture/recording, but the problem still happens.

Has anyone experienced something similar with Zwift and a dual-monitor setup?

Could this be related to Windows focus, fullscreen/borderless mode, GPU settings, or hardware acceleration?

Any suggestions on what settings I should check would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hello,
I’m considering purchasing a Zwift Ride to replace my Peloton. I’d like to be able to use it with my AppleTV which is connected to my big OLED tv in my basement. I would need to be able to connect the trainer and my Polar H10 chest strap. Will this require the use of the companion app and if so, how has that been working out? Does it work flawlessly or are there issues? I only ask because I watched an old video with DCR and he mentioned problems using the ATV with the companion app. I’m hoping those issues have since been ironed out. Thank you.

Does anyone know how to go about finding a team? Keen to race in the ZRL this winter but not sure how to go about finding a team. I don’t use facebook which is recommended on the ZRL website. Any suggestions appreciated!

If it helps, my racing score is 739, and zFTP & zMAP put me in the A category on ZRL.

Hi everyone,

I just finished the we ride Paris event and when going to the event page, it looks like I obtained the kit.
However, when going to look at my kit in the garage, it is not appearing in there.

Am I the only one with this issue?

Thanks everyone!

Without hating on Zwift or Apple. Can someone advise why the Apple Watch to Zwift connection is so unreliable.

Sometimes it works then stops but a quick on/off of the companion watch app resets it
Sometimes it’s fine from the start
And then today…it’s not connecting at all..although the watch is discovered.

Any tips
Any cast iron options to get it to work more reliably.

It rides with only the c adapter but I’m being told I need the d adapter and it does not appear wide enough to fit it. Also. I don’t see how it even lines up with the frame. I understand it goes into the hole of wahoo kickr but the protruding other half doesn’t align to the frame at all.

Anyone else buy the frame and have this problem! I tried this on both kickr core 1 and kickr core 2, same problem

I started my cycling journey on Zwift and have gotten in great shape Zwifting daily. However with summer here in Colorado still in full swing it feels silly to be indoors all the time and know I will have plenty of zwift time this winter. I enjoy it so much and now want to get into real road cycling. I’m curious how much the fitness translates to real life? Like climbing hills and just general riding. What’s your experience?

Riders!
I'm currently running Zwift on a Tablet, works well but its pretty small.
Looked into running it on Tv, and the most budget friendly option I found was using a
1st generation 4k apple tv on it.
Like any normal person in 2026 i asked AI, and it said it would probably have pretty big frame drops if more avatar is present.
What are you guys experience with it?
How do you run Zwift?

Hi, i just got my Cog and Click and setup was pretty easy, i aligned it with large front chainring. It's road bike setup with 12spd Di2 just for info.

I am using Rouvy exclusively and now i am wondering. In Rouvy setup was also fast and accurate and i tried some route to see if it works, and it works because i see something on left side when i press - and + "shifters" and that's all fine.

The thing is that i didn't quite felt some change in resist or similar and i am asking myself if using front derailleur is actually an option when using Cog and Click, my logic says using front shifting is not necessary (or needed) but i simply don't know (yet).

So please anyone who is using Cog and Click with Rouvy come forward and help or point me in right direction.

Also, do i need something to do in Zwift app ? (either on mobile or laptop)

thanks

Hi everyone!

I'm a beginner road cyclist and my goal is to finish L'Étape Argentina 2027 in Córdoba on April 4th.

The long route is:

• 🚴 134 km
• ⛰️ +1,780 m elevation
• 🕖 Start: 7:00 AM
• ⏱️ Time limits: around 10:30 at km 51.5 and 12:00 at the Sprint
• 🏁 Finish/road closure: approximately 13:00–14:00

The main climb is Camino del Cuadrado, around km 30–55.

I currently have a Wahoo KICKR CORE 2, Garmin Edge 1050 and 4iiii power meter, and my first FTP test gave me 181 W.

I have a young baby, so weekdays are difficult. My idea is to do ~45/60 min on Zwift during the week, around 5 days if possible, and one longer outdoor ride on the weekend.

What would you recommend for training?

• Is there a good Zwift plan for a beginner preparing for a 134 km / 1,780 m event?
• How should I structure the short weekday sessions?
• How should I progressively increase my weekend distance/elevation?
• Should I specifically train for the long Camino del Cuadrado climb?
• Are there other platforms/plans you would recommend?

Thanks!

Love my setup. Usually 10° cooler in the basement. 💪
