Great video, brother. Tks for posting.

Thanks for watching!

I guess the one drawback is that when using Zwift with the Schwinn is that it doesn't imitate the feel of riding up and down a hill. You'd have to manually make adjustments and nobody has time for that during a race.

Yeah, if you're seriously competitive on Zwift, there is better equipment. This setup is great for making indoor workouts more interesting though.

@@mattgross76 Thanks very much for responding. Yeah, the only bikes that do that cost like 3k, which I'm not spending on an exercise bike. Have you tried other apps like Sufferfest, etc. Also, would you say that these programs are ok for people who are out of shape from a cardio perspective?

@@Daniel_Ilyich I tried Rouvy, which was cool too. Zwift is more fun due to more people. Plus, zwift has good workout programs to do regardless if current condition. I prefer going outside, but any of those apps are probably good when it is dark or the weather is bad.

How did you setup your heart rate monitor? I tried but it didn't work. Just blinked green and red

Thanks for the video. Have you managed to find a way to compensate for the IC4 sending inaccurate, typically overestimated power readings? I have calibrated my bike but it looks like a known issue for all IC4 bikes. Need a way to reduce the power by ~40% artificially

Thanks. I haven't tried to be honest. I don't have a true power meter, so I can't tell if mine is off or not.

Hi, is the problem with the power measurement ourput solved? It seems initially you would cycle like F. Landis and get L. Amstrong fully loaded output

I never noticed this issue. I can't say for sure there is no issue, but I suspect that was related to early sales.

Which "controllable" device is Zwift conmecting to on the device-pairing screen?

It's just the Schwinn IC4... Nothing else...

Hi I am just getting into Zwift with a C6, same as a ic4. I enjoyed your post. Is it still being used? I am finding some differences in odometer readings between Zwift and bike Do you still recommend Zwift? Do you have any other suggestions? On uses. I am in my late 50’s and haven’t been on a bike for about 15 years. Thanks

I use it with an iPad now. You'll see odometer difference because zwift simulates hills that your bike odometer doesn't know about.

Thanks so much for the reply.

I bought this bike on sale a month ago and am getting around to setting it up with Zwift. I'm a tiny bit confused, is the wheel resistance totally manual with Zwift and other apps (or maybe I should say the bike itself) and the resistance level is the same throughout the entire ride unless I manually turn the knob to add resistance? Thanks for the video - it cuts right through to what needs to be done to start riding.

You do have to turn the knob for resistance increases. It's a great bike but if you want a pure zwift experience you have to go with other options. I've seen setups that auto adjust for hills, but I didn't need anything like that.

Does the IC4 measure watts or is it just going off cadence?

I think they are a "Honeywell HT-900 TurboForce Air Circulator Fan Black, Small" Any 9-12 inch fan works well as you can fit it in tight spaces and move it around.
