qubo smart b+
Posted: Thu Oct 19, 2017 12:53 pm
hi there hi there i received my elite qubo smart b home trainer yesterday and set up. i was able to use the trainer with zwift however i had manu issues;
- zwift could not find the trainer when i tried to find it as a controllable trainer 0- i was told by the online retailer that it is an app controllabe resistance trainer and that zwift can change the resistance to the trianer wirelessly?? i connected on zwift in the end,
as a classic trainer.
- data kept dropping out , eg speed, cadence and power kept dropping to zero every 2 minutes - i may be able to solve this myself by using a longer usb cable from ant+ stick to pc
- the cadence and power readings given by the trainer on zwift are far lower than i was receiving on my garmin;
example,
when pedalling @90rpm on the garmin, the qubo and zwift reported 72-75rpm
when pedalling @110rpm on the garmin, the qubo and zwift reported 85-90rpm
likewise with power, whereas my power meter and garmin was reading 245W+ @ 100rpm, qubo and zwift had it at 130-160W.
the large/huge power and cadence discrepancy and the lack of controllable resistance are the big issues for me right now.
does the unit need to be calibrated in some way? the manuals dont describe this in any way.
what can i do to improve the accuracy of the unit??
thank you
