Master 3888  Overland Park, KS | Subject: RE: Anyone use the Kinetic in ride watt meter I have a KK road machine which has served me well for years but I have not used the Inride equipment. If you haven't already done so, here's a pretty good review of the product by DC Rainmaker. https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2012/12/kinetic-inride-bluetooth-smart-p...

| 623 | Subject: RE: Anyone use the Kinetic in ride watt meter I use a KK rock n roll trainer. I use the inride 2 sensor to communicate with zwift. It works great. Never had any issues with it in approximately 1 year. I borrowed a friends wahoo kickr for a few weeks to test out. The power reading between my KK and wahoo kickr were fairly close together, so I think the inride is fairly accurate. Having said all that, my major issue with it is how inaccurate the cadence reading is. I have a wahoo blue speed and cadence sensor so I pair that for cadence and use the inride sensor for power. This set up has served me well. I actually gave the wahoo kickr back to my friend early because I prefer my KK. Try and keep everything consistent from ride to ride and you will be happy with it. |

This made me laugh because my Garmin ANT+ sensor died almost a year ago. My Cadence sensor will sometimes record 4-5 RPM but usually just sits at zero. So...any cadence sensor would be more accurate than the dead Garmin ANT+ that I have. I count my right foot for 15 seconds when I am at a steady power to see where my cadence is at. It would be nice to have a sensor to do the work of counting but I use the Kurk Kinetics Road machine for the power data. The HR Data and Cadence Data were just bonuses. I use the Road Machine Fluid trainer with the Whoo iphone adaptor to pair my Garmin ANT+ Speed/Cadence/Heartrate sensors with Trainers roads. I am very happy with virtual Watts for indoor bike training. I have done very well with that setup for power training. I would like to go to Blue Took Sensors when the Ant+ speed sensor dies though so the inride sensor is on my wish list. Swift requires Bluetooth so I can Swift or use Suffest with my ANT+ setup.

| 623 | Subject: RE: Anyone use the Kinetic in ride watt meter I really enjoy my wahoo blue speed and cadence sensor. I think it was $40. That paired with my Scosche Rhythm 24 bluetooth heart rate monitor and the inride sensor track everything I need. It was definitely worth the splurge for me. I do a lot of low cadence work and HR zone training. All the sensors make Zwift training 10x better as well. |

The cadence reading on my Powertap G3 hub is horrible, like not even directionally accurate. |

Master 2447 White Oak, Texas | Subject: RE: Anyone use the Kinetic in ride watt meter I got it all set up and attempted to reset sensors on my Garmin 920xt lol I was doing 65mph reset them I guess i selected the wrong thing somehow I need to learn how the sensors are numbered finally got it working ok and fumbled with the kinetic app for a while I see there will be a learning curve to this. it showed I was pushing about 78 watts in HR zone 1 man my bike fitness sucks. |
