Re: BikeErg and RGT running on Android compatibility

I thought it sends power data, Zwift is certainly getting power data from the PM5.

Re: BikeErg and RGT running on Android compatibility

According to this quick search it does support BLE FTMS - https://c2usa.fogbugz.com/?W193758

PM5v2 for BikeErg and RowErg have Bluetooth FTMS enabled

Re: BikeErg or Echo

I had a good look around at different bikes when I was in the market for it, I looked at the Peloton, Wattbike, Assault Airbike as well as some cheaper spinning type bikes but in the end I went with the C2 BikeErg as I wanted to do something "different" with the bike, I started out on it just doing ...

RowPro Native 4K - OpenGL issues

Hi All, I'm experiencing problems enabling OpenGL in my tv's native 4K over HDMI (3840x2160) however if I downgrade to 2560x1600 it displays perfectly fine. Now I have no issues with running at full resolution with Direct3d but even with vsync off I am still limited to 60fps rather than the 600fps I...

Re: BikeErg and Zwift connection question

When is Concept 2 going to give Zwift what they need to be able to connect the PM5 Directly to the PC via USB and run Zwift the same as RowPro ? Currently its a real mess, even for the BikeErg. Really have no intention of even trialing Zwift until they sort out the hardware interface and drop the "...

Re: BikeErg and Zwift connection question

Also worth pointing out that Zwift are advising people not to upgrade to the latest Windows 10 release as it's broken the bluetooth stack and Zwift, instead they are recommending using Ant+ instead of BT.

Re: Creaking Sounds

Hey all, I had a call with C2 today, using my phone I recorded the sound and sent it over to tech support. I confirmed all screws / bolts tightened, was asked to double check one particular bolt which I managed to tighten an extra 1/4 turn but it still continues to make the sound. Further investigat...

Creaking Sounds

Hi All,

I've had my bike for a couple of months now, I've recently noticed that there is a creaking sound when I pedal, when I let it free wheel there's no sound.

Not sure what it is, how I can fix it or whether it's normal.

Can anyone advise please?

ErgData Workouts

I've just done my 3rd workout on the bike, for the last two workouts (uploaded via ErgData) they've both been logged as rowing workouts, not BikeErg workouts, this has a knock on effect when it uploads that workout to Garmin Connect (and subsequently MFP). Is there any way to get ErgData to determin...

Re: Bikeerg- Replacing pedals

Ordering a pair of $10 strapless toe clips on Amazon would be good. I use clipless pedals and my cycling shoes but am ready to ditch them. Too much trouble having to get ready to ride. The strapless clips allow you to place your feet consistently on the pedals in the same position. besides, the old...

Best padded seat

Got my Erg on Monday, unboxed it yesterday and rode it today, now I'm walking like John Wayne.

I need a better padded seat, even the padded shorts I purchased weren't ideal, man this is painful.

Any suggestions / recommendations?

Re: Reduce fat by eating same calories but fewer from carbs?

Actually use an app like MyFitnessPal or Cronometer to log your food, it breaks it down to the macro level (carbs, fats, proteins) and measure how much you're consuming daily, you're likely going to be shocked at how much you do actually consume.

Re: Keto

There are a number of MMA / Performance Athletes who live a Keto lifestyle, the initial "keto flu" feeling can be mitigated by taking extra electrolytes (High5 Zero are particularly good although really you're looking to increase your sodium, potassium and magnesium and you can do that without using...
