Zwift - help or recommendation

I have not seen this in Zwift, so someone can either tell me it exists or it may be a helpful suggestion to any Zwift executive out there.

Does Zwift have a way to save complete builds of frames wheels, and helmets purchased in the drop shop? If I am doing a time trial race one day, and the next climbing Alpe Zwift, I should not have to go change my frame, wheels, helmet individually each time. I want to have these frames and wheels already saved to a bike so I can just select the complete bike for whatever ride I am doing. Zwift should offer each user 4 or 5 slots to create different complete bikes and save them to the garage to make changing bike selections easier.

Would this be useful to anyone else?

In a video game they would call it a load out and that would be a nifty feature.

Zwift doesn’t have it.

IMO, even a lightweight version would be nice: when you pick a frame it would have the wheels you last used with that frame

-Frames and wheels make a performance difference, other kit is ornamental
-I tend to match specific wheels with specific frames (disc for the TT bike, lightweight wheels for the climbing bike, 808s for the aero road bike, etc.)

Equally useful for mixed tarmac/offroad races where you have to do the cumbersome and frantic mid-race bike change. Some people have apparently gotten it down to about 10 seconds, but it takes practice. Having hotkey loadouts would be nice.

Or just ban mid-race bike swaps and make people pick a bike for mixed-surface races…

While that feature would be nice, Zwift can barely get basic functions and features done. If you think they’ll be working on nice to haves you’re crazy. I’d settle for not having to start a workout to change my gear.

Ha, I did not think about at what point in starting a workout you have the ability to choose equipment. You are right. When selecting your location to ride, whether you want to do a workout or not, you should also have an equipment selection option. Great, now something else I will get frustrated with each time I start riding. Thanks a lot.

How hard is it to select menu at the main screen and go to your garage and pick what you want to ride that day? It will stay that way the next ride as well. I think that is pretty simple and straight forward.
