VeloReality Forum

Wow! That sounds like a great idea! It doesn't fix the time zone issue, or the need to have identical videos, but it levels the playing field regarding age, fitness, weight etc. I'm healing up from surgery, but hope to be riding next week. Thanks for this innovative handicap system!

FWIW, I have been using a Suunto Mini USB stick for three months with no trouble. Plugged directly into laptop, no need for USB extension cord. I hate to jinx myself, but no trouble with signal drop-out, works well with Garmin HRM and cadence sensor.

Thanks Kostya. Alerting the customers to the existence of the forum might be very helpful.

I'm also interested in getting some small group rides going, but multiple challenges exist including convenient time zone, needing to own same videos, and having similar fitness level. An additional challenge is that some riders may not ever access this forum, and may be unaware of how many others m...

Hi StanByk, It sounds as if a bargain-priced Vortex might be available- " The Vortex now just sits on a shelf and neither of us consider it a realistic unit for virtual rides when compared to the Tacx Bushido Smart" by rncrowhurst. You might want to contact him. rncrowhurst might get it of...

Hi StanByk, I have exactly the set-up you are planning- Tacx Vortex Smart and VeloReality. I could not be more pleased! Regarding your questions: I use the Garmin heart rate strap with no trouble. I use the Garmin cadence sensor. My .tcx data gets imported without trouble to Strava- you may want to ...

Hi Andy101, I just missed you this morning. You finished riding on CapCorse 2 just as I started- then you went to a video I don't have. I usually ride around that time (1:00-2:00 pm GMT), and I'll try to join you if I see you on CapCorse 1-3 or Ventoux 1-3. What a terrific product, and great support...

Hey KeithD- I had hoped to ride with you today at 7 pm GMT, but won't be able to make it. I'll plan for next Wednesday. Thanks for trying to rouse some interest in group riding. There still is a challenge in finding riders of similar capability- you and K8 are going to be a tough pair to stay close ...

I missed your posting on this forum, but just happened to find you already riding Ventoux 2 today- with K8. You guys are a bit too strong for me, but still fun to share the road with you. I'll plan to ride next Wednesday- I hope more riders will join in. Thanks for organizing this.

Not only are you hard working, but a GENIUS, too! Upload worked fine from Chrome. Thanks- I'll let Strava know about the root cause of the peculiar glitch.
