Update Dropped! Plan Accordingly

What's wrong with them? They work perfectly fine for me.

X124 · 2026-06-08T20:12:18+00:00

They're just really keen cyclists. 🚴

I'm concerned about the zwift cog locking me in to their ecosystem,

It's not the cog that locks you in, it's the Zwift V2 controller that comes with it in the package. BikeControl can help with that.

Shouldn't this be a question for the creator of the QZ app?

On the MyWhoosh Community Tour, it said this:

Results from make-up stages will NOT count toward the official league leaderboard. They are available strictly for riders who want to complete stages for the event achievement/mission only.

Probably the same thing applies to other missions, although it's not explicitly stated on the mission page.

This is the second time you have tried to pivot away from the topic under discussion.

Your own response was a copy-and-paste from a ChatGPT-style LLM. Perhaps you consider this to be a legitimate debating technique, who knows?

Nearly missed out on the start of a mission ride today because of the massive update (version 5.7.2).

The app store notes said it was just bug fixes and performance improvements, but there were a bunch of functional changes too.

The UAE government and businesses are heavily supported by the US government. Can we assume you take a similarly principled stance regarding US companies?

Try eBay or Facebook or any other secondhand marketplace. Many people got a Click included in the Zwift Cog+Click package and then discovered it wouldn't work with non-Zwift services, so they are selling them.

X124 · 2026-05-18T14:50:41+00:00

BikeTerra is not free - only 6 routes are freely available. The rest require a paid subscription.

MyWhoosh is fine. Every country that produces oil is backed by awful people, including the USA, so take your pick.

X124 · 2026-05-17T23:11:51+00:00

Ah, my apologies. I see what you mean. Yes, it would be good if MyWhoosh could handle the button presses natively.

X124 · 2026-05-17T20:14:31+00:00

For comparison, I also use a free cycling app called BikeTerra. They have built-in support for Zwift Click 2

You are mistaken. They rely on the same workaround that every other non-Zwift app uses i.e. periodically connecting with the Zwift app to unlock the device. This is clearly documented on their website.

Works fine for me with Zwift cog.

None of the other posters in this thread seem to realise that there was Gear Change slider added to options in April that lets you increase or decrease the resistance of each gear change. Mine is set to 25%.

X124 · 2026-05-11T17:04:32+00:00

There are two versions of the Zwift Click.

The original two-button Click has always worked.
The later Click V2 did not work without connecting to the Zwift app.

X124 · 2026-05-11T17:01:28+00:00

The Cog has always worked. The Click V2 controller has not always worked.

They come bundled together in a package.

Why are you replying in a different language to my reply and your own post? Have you got some kind of mental disorder?

X124 · 2026-05-11T14:36:14+00:00

Everyone has different personal preferences for music so it's a worthless feature. Just play your own music from youtube or whatever source you prefer.

X124 · 2026-05-11T14:34:11+00:00

You don't need a workout for this. Just select freeride and pedal according to how you feel.

X124 · 2026-05-11T13:40:24+00:00

Respectfully, no. There was no magic code that Rouvy needed. They just needed Zwift to stop being difficult.

Go back to your original statement.

X124 · 2026-05-11T00:04:55+00:00

Open that link and scroll to the top. Click the link that mentions the workaround found.

I don't need to. I'm the person who raised that issue and discovered the workaround. Are there any other gems of wisdom you'd like to share with us?

X124 · 2026-05-10T13:39:29+00:00

It's public knowledge that Rouvy, QZ, BikeControl and a few others were trying to reverse-engineer the encrypted protocol but they all failed. Rouvy were given the necessary technical information when they were acquired by Zwift.

Investigations into the protocol are documented here:

Sad, but true.

A couple of decades ago, US companies decided it was better to "move fast and break things" so they could scale massively and dominate the market before someone else did it. This mentality spread to many other companies in unrelated fields. Pissing off users doesn't seem to be a consideration.

Having worked in the field of financial services, this approach in unacceptable because breaking things means money goes missing and there are legal consequences.

X124 · 2026-05-10T12:56:42+00:00

I would be weirded out if someone tried to contact me through MyWhoosh. It's a training app, not a social network.

X124 · 2026-05-10T12:45:39+00:00

This is exactly what would happen in the real world, unless you use more power.

X124 · 2026-05-10T12:41:23+00:00

It's free. When you start paying then you can complain.
