Wahoo RIVAL Multisport GPS Watch In-Depth Review

Remember CompuTrainer? Yup – Wahoo was the legit ‘CompuTrainer Killer’.

Putting together the Vasa Swim Trainer/Ergometer in less than 90 seconds

In my ways it reminded me quite a bit of the CompuTrainer in terms of heaviness, except these boxes were bigger and harder to move around.

A look at the 2012 Washington DC Multisport Expo

Like previous years, Bonzai held CompuTrainer racers within the grounds of their massive booth estate.

Checking out the EZ-Trainer iPad ANT+ App

But more importantly, it’s the only computer-based platform aside from the TACX or CompuTrainer that allows you to display your actual data in real-time (ok, Golden Cheetah has it too these days).

Here’s the items up for review: CompuTrainer – Essentially a computerized trainer that can change resistance.

Week in Review–December 27th, 2015

5) CompuTrainer Recall: This was also a few weeks ago – but I really want to ensure folks see this.

A working weekend in Vegas

Recording at the time was a CompuTrainer (via TrainerRoad), the Quarq RED SRAM 2012 Cinqo (they let me hold onto the bike a couple weeks longer to test against the Polar/Look pedal pieces), and finally…the Polar/Look power pedals.

A Morning At Velo Boutique–A Full KICKR Group Cycling Studio

Of course, similar concepts aren't new - there's been CompuTrainer studios around the world for some time for example, but an all-out KICKR studio is pretty rare as far as I know.

A White Christmas (Tree) and a run in the snow

One funny part though (aside from it falling), is that the tree protrudes out into the view of my monitor I use every other day for the CompuTrainer (bike).

Week in Review–August 31st, 2013

TrainerRoad: If you’ve got a CompuTrainer, Wahoo KICKR or Kinetic inRide, I’d definitely recommend this update, which addresses a few issues.

Packed and ready to roll…and run…and that swim thing.

The official plan is “quickly build to a very hard effort (167 to 170)”, which, based on this week’s CompuTrainer intervals, is about a 320 watt output.

PowerTap’s new hubs, Bluetooth Smart Trainers, iPad apps, and more

If they can sort that out, it’d actually make for the first iPad app on the market to actually control the KICKR while riding a full GPX/GPS file (CycleOps/PowerTap, Tacx, CompuTrainer and others have had that for a while).

Garmin Edge 705 In Depth Review

I use a CompuTrainer today for indoor power/wattage information – but don’t have anything for outdoors.

Spring meets DC, and I meet the 1980’s.

In some cases one might do a double-take on power meter calibration, but I’m lucky in that I can get a quick double-check from the CompuTrainer and they both are in the same ballpark +/- a few watts (as usual).

First look at the Kinetic by Kurt $200 Bluetooth Smart inRIDE power meter trainer accessory

Once TrainerRoad opened up, the pairing process was essentially no different than other sensors that TrainerRoad supports (such as ANT+ and Bluetooth Low Energy, as well as the CompuTrainer).

4iiii Precision Power Meter In-Depth Review

For indoor tests, I’d usually place it onto a trainer that supported rear wheel usage (generally the CompuTrainer, so I could keep the PowerTap hub on the bike).

A look at the now available Wahoo Fitness Strava Segments App

Keeping in mind that most other software suites out there from CycleOps, Tacx, and Racermate (CompuTrainer) cost hundreds of dollars (though do deliver more).

Interbike 2011 Day 3 Overview (Sports Technology)

Their system works in many ways like a CompuTrainer.

Double duty – a week of workouts in the world of me

I also finished up the day with a short midnight mile run to recalibrate my recently returned Garmin 305, and then did a short trainer ride in an unsuccessful attempt to fix an issue with the CompuTrainer.Tuesday: Normally the snow and freezing rain would have thrown my usual Tuesday run for a bit of a loop.

PowerTap C1 Chainring Power Meter In-Depth Review

For indoor tests, I’d usually place it onto a trainer that supported rear wheel usage (generally the CompuTrainer, so I could keep the PowerTap hub on the bike).

First hands-on look & rides with the Garmin Vector power meter

This is similar to Spin Scan as found on a CompuTrainer.

75 Seconds to Evaporation

The CompuTrainer drivers the watts, I’m just along for the ride.
