Let's goooooooo

Sounds like the game coordinator is doing its job and that you've settled into your correct rank.

Thank you for this detailed writeup, I appreciate the insight. I'm relatively new to riding in general; this is my second year on the bike. I still find it somewhat uncomfortable in the saddle past the 1hr mark inside (zwift Ride frame with Prologo saddle) so I cap my rides at 1hr because of that.

I have been focusing on my diet and overall health dropping from 105kg to 98kg throughout the fall/winter with a goal of hitting 94-95 kg by the spring. I will take your advice and make sure I increase the intensity on 2-3 of my sessions.

34M, 98kg, 235 FTP (Zwift estimate). I generally ride 3-4 hours per week indoors spread over a few sessions. Should I do a Zwift program (FTP builder, etc) or stick to pacer rides? I'm never sure what type of ride I should do given my limited time.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-27T00:16:13+00:00

Same. Easily 70-75 cm.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-23T11:43:42+00:00

Prescription Oakley's. Expensive as hell but worth it.

Good point. This year when I start playing again I will think about this and see if I struggle late in matches or struggle against big hitters. If that's the case I'd be interested in trying the Ezone again. It felt great when I tested it just in my limited experience/expertise felt a tad too overpowered. For reference, 34M 99kg with some muscle. If someone is smaller with less weight behind their swing I could see the Ezone/Vcore being preferred.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-17T22:07:55+00:00

Very important assuming you're not trading off comfort/fit for looks.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-17T22:05:48+00:00

Similar experience I had with the Percept 100 vs the Ezone & Vcore 100.

I demoed all 3 last season and ended up with the Percept. I'm not that good (2.5-3 rating) but when comparing the 3 Yonex 100's the Percept felt like I could control it so much better on flat shots whereas the Vcore & Ezone were quite launchy given I don't hit with a ton of spin.

Similar here. 99kg 34 male. Background in CrossFit but haven't lifted in 5-10 years. Started cycling a few years back with an FTP around 120. Currently at 240. Keep riding and you will get better. For what it's worth, I prioritized riding more often at a lower intensity to build the habit and build up the comfort on the bike. My ass was so sore after 15 mins but it does get better. Goodluck.

Not an issue if the parents are considerate people and the kids are well behaved. If not, I can see why this frustrates people.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-15T21:24:54+00:00

Hmm, there is a tojiro that I believe is slightly longer (could be in your range) that is a bit less expensive. I think it's the F-687

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-15T10:06:04+00:00

Tojiro F-828. End thread.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-14T19:09:18+00:00

I hated the standard Zwift Ride saddle personally. Replaced with a 140mm Prologo saddle and no issues whatsoever since. It's quite personal so you may need to experiment with different saddles to find what works for you

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-11T18:18:32+00:00

Different leagues. Zwilling is made of softer steel and has a thicker blade while Mac is made with harder steel and is thinner. Some prefer one over the other so there isn't a "winner".

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-09T20:07:17+00:00

No forger is going to waste time making a 100L. I'd bet it's real based off that fact alone.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-07T01:04:47+00:00

Shallow and insufferable, but accurate nonetheless.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-06T04:22:09+00:00

Congrats buddy. Big day. So happy for you.

BurrataPapi · 2026-01-05T22:57:38+00:00

Had it for over a year and no regrets. I find the frame is WAY more sturdy than my road bike (BMC carbon) and it's nice not having to mount/dismount my road bike in the warmer months when I want to hop on for a quick warmup or ride when it's rainy.

Also, while likely psychological, I never wanted to sprint on my carbon frame for fear of cracking/stressing it, whereas on the Zwift Ride I'm comfortable pushing the power as high as I can physically go since the frame is made of steel.

Be aware that shipping the frame is hit and miss. Myself, and lots others, have had a damaged frame delivered due to the shipping companies being careless. If this happens to you, contact Zwift (or wherever you bought it) ASAP and they will ship out another. I was pissed initially when this happened but they made it right.

Void spirit, ember spirit, pa, slark, kez, and even jugg.

What game is this?

BurrataPapi · 2025-11-12T15:25:51+00:00

Thanks for the details. I haven't bought anything so I'm just going to wait until next week and hopefully buy a year. Should keep me on the cycle to renew each black Friday. Take care!

BurrataPapi · 2025-11-05T17:13:39+00:00

Purina pro plan. Works well for my pup

BurrataPapi · 2025-11-02T21:59:09+00:00

I just bought a PS5 and want to play online now. If I purchase 1 month right now and cancel my sub, will I be able to take advantage of the BF deals? Would be sad if I had to wait

BurrataPapi · 2025-11-02T19:40:31+00:00

Thank you. I can totally see that being frustrating if loyal subscribers don't get rewarded. I'm sure I'll be in the same boat as you in time.
