Zwift has integrated TrainerRoad into its Training API, marking its most significant partnership yet. This follows previous integrations with platforms like Xert, Join, and Intervals.ICU. This video covers the core details of this workout integration.
Additional Notes:

- ALL Zwift rides will be exported to TrainerRoad. This includes free rides, races, etc.
- Workout text instructions (if part of the TR workout) will appear in Zwift.
- Your TrainerRoad FTP will be used to set workout zones/effort but it will not update your Zwift FTP setting (at this point in time)

Aqua Blue Sport's 2018 attempt with a 1x road setup faced challenges, but advancements like SRAM's Red XPLR 13-speed groupset with a 10-46T cassette make modern 1x configurations more viable. The video explores converting a Cervelo Aspero from a gravel setup to a road bike with a 46T chainring, 2025 EXAR Ultra wheels, and 32mm GP5000 S TR tubeless tires.

The Favero Assioma PRO MX power meter pedals, launched in February 2024, have emerged as one of the standout cycling products of the year. Following extensive pre-release testing, the pedals have proven reliable, featuring advanced metrics like rider position and Platform Center Offset (PCO) for improved performance analysis. With minimal firmware updates required, they entered the market as a polished product. Their popularity has driven a significant shift in power meter sales trends, boosting Favero to the top of 2024's most popular power meter brands. Despite minor concerns about SPD cleat compatibility for some users, the PRO MX has been widely praised for its innovation and performance, earning a spot among my "Hits of 2024."

Zwift has introduced a new route overview feature for all worlds, displaying elevation changes, sprints, and climbs near the mini-map (previously limited to Watopia), with blue highlights marking route lead-ins. Users can now disable the screen shake effect in settings, improving the experience on rough terrain. Several bugs were fixed, including issues with default selections, overlapping HUD elements, incorrect animations, and elevation display inaccuracies. Additionally, the Shorelines and Summits route completion issue in multi-lap events was resolved, the Tractor Pulls workout difficulty was adjusted, and Training Stress Score (TSS) has been renamed to Stress Points (SP).

Strava has introduced an update for all users (free and paid) allowing greater control over what activity information is visible to others by default with each new upload. You can now set defaults to hide details like start time, pace/speed, calories, power, and heart rate before uploading.Previously, hiding start time had to be done manually after uploading. This is a useful update for added privacy, especially for features like start time hiding that were previously clunky.

Hammerhead has launched Hammerhead Extensions, a new SDK that enables developers to customise the behaviour and display of Karoo cycling devices, integrate external data sources, and enhance user experience through open-source collaboration. Popular extensions like Ki2, which adds Shimano Di2 groupset integration, are expected to arrive on the Karoo 3 now that this SDK is available. Supporting both the Karoo 2 and Karoo 3, Hammerhead Extensions marks a significant upgrade, fostering innovation with potential apps like WindField (real-time wind data) and MapFields (multiple metrics display). This update is a major boost for the Karoo platform.

The Garmin VARIA RCT715 is a unique device that combines a rear light, radar, and camera into one unit. It recently received a firmware update (v5.20) aimed at reducing radar timeout errors. The update process is straightforward and can be done via the Varia mobile app (iOS/Android) or Garmin Express with a USB cable. During the update, the device may appear inactive for a minute or two, which can be unsettling, but this is normal. Once the update is complete, you can verify it in the Varia app.
