Can you choose local pickup to skirt that $35 fee?

How'd you get the code to work for the Tacx? It wouldn't work for me since it was already discounted so I bought the Kickr instead. And thanks from me to @jShort for the code even though it just cost me a grand 🤑 LOLThanks for the heads up! Was about to pull the trigger on the Tacx. Now to unload the acoustic trainer...

I ordered the Kickr, as well. I was getting ready to order the Tacx from CC when I saw the post from @trener1How'd you get the code to work for the Tacx?

Sounds like you’re in erg mode. In that state it’ll hold you at that wattage regardless of what gear you’re in.That’s kinda the point of erg mode.Ok so the Kickr has been driving me nuts all weekend. I haven't tried Zwift yet need a Bluetooth adapter for my PC so right now I'm just using the Wahoo app on my phone to control it and no matter what settings I use it seems way to hard to pedal and changing gears does nothing. On the dumb trainer I set the base resistance and then just changed gears to make things harder/go faster. The Kickr feels nothing like riding a bike at all to me so I don't know what I'm missing. Does Zwift make it more like real riding? Are there settings for that? I don't care about workouts and power zone stuff I just want to hop on and ride kind of like I do IRL is that possible?

I tried using my whahoo element roam to control my trainer. It was unbelievably difficult to pedal. I'm sure your zwift ride once setup will be fine.Ok so the Kickr has been driving me nuts all weekend.

I think @Juggernaut might be right. I would think this is something you can fix on your app, although I use Zwift only so I woulnd't know how to change it there. I did try erg mode once and it felt exactly the way you are describing it - always tough to pedal. In fact, because it's holding watts, the slower I pedaled, the harder it got.Sounds like you’re in erg mode.

if youre new to Zwift this guy is like the online King of all things Zwift and his videos are excellent for all types of questions, how to and recaps of new releases. I think he even has a podcast channel somewhere too.Cool thanks for all the replies everyone. Its was definitely ERG mode I found out if you start a workout in the Wahoo app and then swipe the screen to the right several times it shows you all the different modes the trainer will run. Oddly enough that setting isn't just in the app settings you actually have to start a workout first to change it. Going to try and get Zwift going tonight. Thanks for the link @1speed I actually found the ZwiftInsider guy last night when I was trying to figure things out.
