Who has a race coming up?!

Soo, I guess this is a known issue now?
Here's what happens, complete a ride in Rouvy it gets auto-synced into Garmin Connect and it doesnt effect anything, I see the workout and all its data, but that about it - no VO2max, no training load, no Load focus, no training status.
To record HR im using Garmin Cirqa that broadcast the HR to my laptop.

Then what I figured - if I record the activity on the Cirqa - then those stats are published in GC, but ultimatly you end up having two activities one comes from the Cirqa, the other one comes from Rouvy.

You cant have one, this is cursed...

Hey friends,
I’m using Rouvy with a Zwift Ride/Bike. I’d really like to match the gearing to my outdoor gravel bike. Is there a feature for this in Rouvy? I haven’t been able to find anything. Or does this need to / can this be set up via the Wahoo KICKR? Can anyone help me out here?
Best regards / Cheers

EDIT: Thanks for every response, I guess i’ll give BikeControl a shot till Rouvy implements the feature.

Hi, i just got my Cog and Click and setup was pretty easy, i aligned it with large front chainring. It's road bike setup with 12spd Di2 just for info.

I am using Rouvy exclusively and now i am wondering. In Rouvy setup was also fast and accurate and i tried some route to see if it works, and it works because i see something on left side when i press - and + "shifters" and that's all fine.

The thing is that i didn't quite felt some change in resist or similar and i am asking myself if using front derailleur is actually an option when using Cog and Click, my logic says using front shifting is not necessary (or needed) but i simply don't know (yet).

So please anyone who is using Cog and Click with Rouvy come forward and help or point me in right direction.

Also, do i need something to do in Zwift app ? (either on mobile or laptop)

thanks

I am new to spinning and Rouvy.

After 3 months membership i just saw that I have access to a great frame, Wilier Filante SLR Glitter Glossy. I did not buy it.

How did that happen?

Hello,

My heart rate monitor connects fine, but it doesn’t show any readings on screen during the ride. Has anyone else run into this? I’ve already tried resetting the HR strap and removing the battery, but nothing’s worked. The strap itself is fine ,it works normally on my bike computer and watch, just not here.

I tried my first FTP test on Rouvy and it ended in tears 😆.
At first I thought it looked easy and was almost tempted to increase the difficulty. But it soon became apparent I was not good enough.
I fell apart in the last minute in the red zone. My legs revolted and the lungs filed a restraining order. I never got to experience the pink zone.
Has anyone else been humbled this fast by the ramp test?

Shoutout to berenil, the creator of this community route. What a fun ride through the San Gabriel Mountains of Southern California! It's nicely recorded, has a good amount of informative commentary, and is a great way to do a recovery ride with a couple of sneaker climbs. Thanks for your work on this!

Reddit's link embed wants to render the rider page which is behind the login, so I will do it this way riders.rouvy.com/route/308201

Hey everybody

Just got a Garmin watch, a forerunner 265s. How do I get VO2max-numbers from my rides on Rouvy? I am a bit confused. Do I just connect the app to the watch and all the numbers get synced up and Garmin takes care of it?

Or do I need to double-record, meaning that I start an indoor cycling training session while also on Rouvy?

And do I need to connect the watch to the trainer (i have an Elite Suito T)? And do I need to connect it to a HR monitor chest strap (which I have the polar h10)?

Lost of questions, but very confused. Thanks!

Hi - up until recently, if I was going to a long, steep climb, I’d have to change down to the small chainring, and into a lower gear (something like 34x34, so 1:1). But recently, it lets me stay in a higher gear, but just reduces the speed (I’ll have to change down a couple of gears).
I’m using a Tacx Neo 2T
Is this a Rouvy issue, or could it be my Tacx?

Wondering if anyone had trouble removing the free hub on a wahoo kicks? I'm using a Kickr Move, and having an issue removing the free hub, it just seems to be stuck and I used the tool that came with the Zwift Cog but it doesn't budge. Do I need the Zwift cog to use virtual shifting can I just install a single speed cassette? Thanks in advance.

I regret that I ever signed up for Rouvy. The darkest patterns I have seen on any software that I thought I could trust.

I tried Rouvy out for a few months, but although I liked the idea of the app, it didn’t fit the way I was exercising / riding.

However, that wasn’t the problem. It’s their subscription and cancellation process that is the worst I have experienced in years.

Subscribing was challenging, and a confusing process from what I recall many months ago.

Rouvy’s cancellation process is very dark. I thought I had cancelled a few months ago, but recently saw a charge on my card. I logged in again and found that I had missed a hidden additional step buried in the page. I can see online that I’m not the only one.

Then, it got worse. So then, being aware that the site follows dark patterns, I carefully ensured that I could press every button to ensure that I could get through to the end of the cancellation process. Each time I tried, there were multiple failure points after the first cancel button, where the website stalled with an oops message. I had to try two different browsers multiple times before I could finally get to the end of the process. It took the better part of an hour.

It was the most frustrating cancellation I have ever experienced, and the darkest pattern I have seen in something that looked reputable.

I wish they would just compete on features rather than treat us like idiots and steal our money with dishonesty. But I guess it worked. They got money monthly payments from me. They stole my money for months and all of their policies blame it on me being stupid because I couldn’t cancel properly. I was stupid for ever signing up in the first place.

My wife said I should just email them, but this already took so much time and based on their patterns, I have no expectation that they would really change their process. So I thought I’d just post.

Hi!

I’m considering buying a Wahoo KICKR CORE 2 for indoor training, but I’m unsure whether I should get the version with the Zwift Cog or install a standard Shimano 12-speed cassette.

I have a Shimano 105 mechanical 12-speed road bike with an 11-34T cassette.

I understand that the Zwift Cog is designed primarily around Zwift and its virtual shifting system, but I’m interested in using ROUVY as well, and potentially other platforms in the future.

So I’d really appreciate some clarification from people actually using this setup:

• Does the Zwift Cog work properly with ROUVY?
• Can I use the normal mechanical shifting on my Shimano 105 12-speed bike while riding on ROUVY?
• Are there any limitations compared with having a normal 12-speed cassette installed?
• If I buy the CORE 2 with Zwift Cog, can I later remove it and install a Shimano 12-speed cassette?
• Would you recommend buying the Zwift Cog version anyway, or is a physical 12-speed cassette the better choice if I want to use multiple platforms?
• Is there any reason to prefer an 11-34 cassette on the trainer versus another 12-speed cassette?

I already have a Garmin Edge 1050 and a 4iiii left-side power meter, and my main goal is structured training rather than only virtual racing.

Bike specs

Specialized Tarmac SL7

• Shimano 105 Mechanical 12-speed
• Shimano 105 11-34T cassette
• 50/34 crankset
• 12x142mm rear thru-axle
• Disc brakes
• DT R470 wheels

The KICKR CORE 2 seems like a great option, but I don't want to buy the Zwift Cog and then discover that it creates unnecessary limitations with ROUVY or other platforms.

Thanks for any advice!

Hey guys,

We have a Zwift Ride that the missus uses regularly to do workouts on Rouvy. After probably two years of this she wants to expand her horizons and try a more social type of event. She has asked me to figure this out for her so here I am. Since I'm only doing Zwift races I have no idea what to look for.

I figured an easy going rubber-banded group ride lasting between 30 and 60 minutes would be a good start. She has an FTP of 150W which comes to 2.6W/kg.

I was looking at the Events page and I'm having difficulties deciding on a particular ride. Are there any standouts in the community? Is there perhaps a ride where the leader points out things or comments during the ride?

Appreciate any guidance I can get

Just published my first ever route recording: "The Netherlands - Assen - Loon - Balloo - Rolde - Ekehaar - Schieven" 🌅

A flat, easy-going 20.95 km route through Assen and the Drenthe countryside, Netherlands — rolling past quiet summer villages in that soft early-morning light. No climbs, no stress, just a smooth spin to ease into the day (or wind down after work, if mornings aren't your thing).

🔗 https://riders.rouvy.com/route/315405

This is my first upload, so I'd love your feedback! And if anyone knows other nice roads or routes near Assen, please share — always looking for inspiration to record more (and better) rides.

I don't have a bluetooth controller, but often I run companion app on an iPhone. On a separate iPhone is where I run rouvy. I have the most recent download for both the primary+rouvy phone and secondary+rouvy companion phone, and have used the virtual shifting with success, but sometimes it's not there as an option even though the companion app is clearly synced.

Moreover, when it doesn't show in companion, the virtual gear icon also will not show on the route itself, above my watt output, etc.

Any ideas?

Hello, my subscription on Zwift ended and I want join my friend who uses Rouvy. Is there a way to do structured workout in ERG mode while riding with my friend alongside me no matter the power output?

Very strange issue, use an IPAD Pro and working just fine with Rouvy no recent upgrades but I am 27 Beta.

then all of a sudden today lost my my data to Kickr 2 and HRM and could not get it back. Also same issue on my iPhone and yet checked sensors and all connected.

Checked on Zwift (free edition) and all connected fine, any reason for this ?
