RLVs Via PeriPedal

[Double-A]

Ok - This may be a long shot (or a long term project) Adam.

PeriPedal is sensational - you do it better than most & i know as i've tried most of the trainer software with my Saris CycleOps - Power Beam Pro. I've learned over time to use my PBPro in Slope mode to get best results in chasing workout targets. Specific Interval workouts will always beat a trainer ride without a plan - hence your PPs ability to write up a workout is unchallenged and flows through to your flawless & robust PeriPedal software - PP has never let me down.

Alas - occasiaonally I need to 'entertain' myself (eg. long wet spell & need a break of chasing targets) and I crave to do a RLV course!

Yes - I do have CycleOps Virtual Trainer software that should control my PBPro BUT I have never ever got past 30-40 minutes before the software drops out connection with my PBPro & the RLV ride is stalled & wiped. Despite repeated requests + forums - NIL feedback regarding addressing issue from CycleOps. After countless attempts - the faulty software wins - I give up!

I am unsure if this is just a CycleOps issue or other Virtual Trainers have robust RLV software?

I realise it is another (significant) step whereby PeriPedal controls the Trainer - another option to consider?!

Hi AA,

Thanks for your request and compliments!

I like the idea and will start looking into it more, deciding the best way to do it and how much work it would require. No promises, but I will certainly consider it. If implemented this would be a long term feature, as you mentioned, probably occurring in the off season.

Thanks Again,
Adam

Thanks Burnt Toast.

Have tried many options including extension cable - to no avail.

It's not so much that the VT software doesn't do its job - it's the NO response from CycleOps when requesting support & giving them feedback that has me &^%$!

i have now deleted VT from my PC as I tried again 2 weeks ago to do an RLV and same dropout/disconnect.

I just look forward to Adam delivering RLV for PP!
