Morning all,
I'm about two weeks into Zwift as a brand new user, and am running into an issue. To start, I run the program through my iphone 10, and cast it to my tv, no issues there. I use a dumb trainer, Cycleops magnet, and a Stages power meter using bluetooth. The app recognized my equipment, so I synced up the power, cadence, and adjustable trainer.
I did a group ride, couple races, and everything was great. However last week I did an FTP test, and I noticed halfway in my cadence was dropping to 0 and my avatar was not pedaling. I couldn't tell if the power was dropping at that time, so it was a mind f in the middle of my test. This was happening every few seconds.
Did another free ride, no issues.
Last night did one of the structured workouts, and had the cadence drop out again every few seconds and I do believe the power would just hold at the last power it registered before the drop, and then a few seconds later when the cadence picked back up, the power would update at whatever I was currently pushing. It definitely happens ever 3-5 seconds, and the power doesn't fluctuate during the time the cadence is at 0.
After my workout I restarted the program, and only connected the power meter and clicked off the cadence and trainer. I did a couple minutes of the exact same workout I had just finished and the avatar obviously never stopped pedaling, and the power appears to register normally. While this may have fixed the power inaccuracy issue and weird non-pedaling avatar, it appears to be a band-aid.
Anyone else run into this and any fixes? Worst case, I'm not concerned if I can't track cadence if it is what it is with my setup.
Thanks.
