Have not been on Zwift this week. They have a bike shop now for goodies?

they need a tactical frame.

I could find a 808/Super 9 combo for 275.600 drops under the zipp options.

Disc wheel.

I'll look at the bikes later, but I've always wanted that disc!

so i logged in. im level 18. i have zero drops to buy anything with. i am unhappy. :-(

That's pretty dope! I like this format for getting new Zwift gear much more than the Level up format.

Give it another year. The drop shop business model will change to start rewarding us with free crates that contain random items. But you need to buy keys to open the crates. Example: Rocket League, PUBG, DotA, modern video games.

Yep. Also a Speed Concept, Scott Plasma and a few aero helmets for the speed freaks.

Other than that I think implementation is good. I had enough coin to buy two TT frames.

That's pretty weird - I'm lower on the totem pole than you and I've got something like 1.1 million. Perhaps it hasn't refreshed?

I've now got 275k less with the disc

They've been pretty consistent in saying that the drop store won't be available for real money.

That being said, they just received $120 million in VC money, so the pressure to monetize things will most likely increase. Until something changes however, I'll take them at their word.

Ah, thanks! I was just looking at the thumbnails which are front wheels.

Anyone able to access the shop on IOS? I have no new update available in the store and cannot see any changes when i log in so presume this will come in the next update.

Where do you access the store?

At this point, I believe it's only in the PC version (iOS and android should be coming soon). You have to go to the menu screen (press the 'T' key from the main screen, or start a ride and go to menu). You should see a 'My Garage' and 'Drop Shop'. The Drop Shop is the store. There is only Bikes and Wheels at this point, not sure what else will eventually be added.

Ah, ok. I don't zwift through a PC so I guess I've got to wait.

I have updated the app in iOS and have access to the shop. Will pick up the Allez Sprint and Tarmac Pro to match my IRL bikes, the 808/disc wheelset and whichever TT bike ends up being the fastest. Glad I leveled up and unlocked the S5 last night just hours before they took bikes and wheel s out of level unlocks.

Happened to me too at first... Reboot and the drops show up.

i don't know, the bikes (and the wheels) don't appear to be anything better than what I already have (virtually)

no aero road bikes are rated 3 stars for weight and 3 stars for aerodynamics. Kinda pointless to get anything else. Ditto for the TT bikes, all rated at 4 for aero and 1 for weight

and I think they messed up the wheels ratings, as Zipp 808 was rated 4 stars for aerodynamics and 2 stars for weight, but now it's 4 stars for both weight and aero

thanks. i have my phone set to auto update apps, but it hadn't done that for zwift yet.

So what do you get for level upgrades now? Just jerseys/socks/glasses?? Lame.

You're right, I don't think anything they have now is any better from a performance standpoint then what's available now. I'm not sure how much the idea is to get a performance edge, but more just to have some variety and be able to ride different things. Especially if you ever ride the TT bike, it's just nice to have options other than the base TT bike, regardless if they are all the same from a performance standpoint.

I like the idea of virtually riding different bikes, though it may lose it's appeal eventually.

Disc wheel was a no-brainer. I've been waiting for that one for years, since I was not a beta tester.

With Cannondale our team sponsor, I had to buy the EVO and SystemSix as well. My IRL SystemSix has been ordered since 7/6/18 - who would have thought that on 2/28/19, I would have the bike first on Zwift?

Can you put it on the tron bike?

Ohh, just saw there's a P5x, only need a couple of levels for that :-)

No Tron bike has its own wheels. You pick Tron, you are picking frame and wheels together.
