Sorry, it is the Zwift detail I have problems with. For example during a ride/race Zwift provides w/kg of each rider. I cannot read that.
Then you've posted on the wrong forum.
Like I said, I've problems reading without glasses :lol:

Re: BikeErg with Zwift, HR, Garmin Watch, iphone

. One iss I have at present is that with failing eyesight, much of the data onscreen is unreadable. Once you've programmed your workout, press button E (fifth grey button counting from the top). That switches the PM5 into " LARGE PRINT " mode. Sorry, it is the Zwift detail I have problems with. For...

Re: BikeErg with Zwift, HR, Garmin Watch, iphone

So thanks for all the advice. I have got this working : I've had to extend my wifi to reach the (detached) garage. Once on the bike erg, I use an ipad pro for Zwift itself, and an iphone for the companion app. One iss I have at present is that with failing eyesight, much of the data onscreen is unre...

BikeErg with Zwift, HR, Garmin Watch, iphone

So I've been considering using my BikeErg on Zwift (or any other such platform). And would like some pointers or shared experience for other users. Currently I have the BikeErg PM5 paired with my iphone ErgData app, Garmin Forerunner 945 watch and Polar HR10 heart rate belt (and strava after workout...

Re: Full calibration every time?

I get asked to confirm calibration every time I ride a distance/set time that can be registered as a "ranked workout". I recently did a full calibration, yet next day it was way out and needed a full calibration again (drag on my iphone said it was 49, yet the physical level was at 1, so should have...

Re: Connect BikeERG with Garmin Fenix 6x

Thought I'd post a further update as you my recent experiences, still using Forerunner 945 with the BikeErg (and Rower) Since Garmin updated their watch software to include better integration with Indoor Trainers (v7 I think), it is this software with will pair with the BikeErg immediately you power...

Re: Dec 2021 firmware released for PM5

Improvements and bugfixes for wireless functionality If by this they mean your Garmin device will no longer work then correct. My BikeErg has stopped connecting completely to my Garmin 945. :( I won't by updating the rower for sure. Anyone else have issues with Garmin devices connecting. Used to wo...

Re: Connect BikeERG with Garmin Fenix 6x

Thought I'd add an update. Since the PM5 firmware update, connectivity to my Garmin (945) has stopped completely. It simply never connects. Connectivity to my iphone is hit and miss. I can still waste up to 10 minutes trying every combination of buttons trying to the Ergdata to connect. I won't be u...

Re: Connect BikeERG with Garmin Fenix 6x

I have a Garmin Forerunner 945 which I use with both an Erg and BikeErg. I use ErgIQ on the watch and the concept2 app on the phone. The rower has been pretty stable, although occasionally it will drop phone connection during a session. Last time it did this I just had the watch data, which showed I...

Re: Bikeerg and Garmin Fenix 6 Indoor Bike

I have the Forerunner 945 and have used it with the BikeErg since the BikeErg arrived in May 2020. I use the ErgIQ app on the Garmin, not the indoor cycling option. Works fine.
