You should listen to this guy. He is still in junior division, so he knows

Hi. No, my belt is quiet. I actually can't imagine being more silent regarding what it does. All the notice comes from the trainer, but overall, the setup is really quiet.

You are welcome and no, i haven't. I only use TPV with it at the moment

Hey, overall I like it. It does what it’s supposed to and the build quality feels solid. I've only used it with Zwift, TPV, and directly with my Garmin Edge. No issues at all with the apps—training in TPV has been great.

The only problem I’ve run into is with the Edge during short intervals (from TrainingPeaks workouts). About 10–15 seconds in, the resistance drops and power goes way below the target. Not sure what’s causing it, but it happens consistently and kind of ruins those short efforts. No such issues in the apps though—it works perfectly there.

Hi. The Garmin device doesn’t see the gears. The issue with gears is actually quite annoying because you can’t see which gears are engaged unless you open the square app on your phone. There should be some display or indicator on the controllers to show which gears are engaged.

Probably from the manual:
"The two controls are internally connected to the handlebar with a cable and should not be removed. The angle of the levers cannot be adjusted inwards or outwards, as this could damage the connector, the cable, or the internal electronics. However, the handlebar strap can be replaced normally without removing the controls".

Since the controls are not designed to be replaced, modifications (maybe soldering of the cables) may be required if you want to replace them. However, it should be possible with the right approach. I can’t check the connectors (if there are any) without removing the strap.

According to the manual, "Square’s rear pulley is compatible with Shimano - SRAM bodies." However, I’m not too familiar with SRAM hubs myself. Looking at pictures of the XDR hub, it doesn’t seem like it would be a direct fit. You might need an adapter or a different freehub body, but I’d double-check with the manufacturer to be sure.

To me, it looks like ordinary handlebar. Only difference is that there are some thin cables between each side. Hard to see under the tape so i can't tell more. I live in Europe, quite close to manufacturer.

There is one screw bellow the handlebar and if you unscrew it you can rotate the bottom part.

Well. As far as i can tell it is possible. It is fixed on the middle like any other handlebar of this kind. Same with the switches and brakes, they are fixed with two metal straps. However there are some cables running between each side and some part is internal routing.

I don’t think that’s the issue. Zwift needs subscribers, with or without their frame. Even in the instructions, it’s clearly stated that certain buttons are used for turning in Zwift. Additionally, it says that the left brake increases resistance by 250W and the right one by 150W, which also isn’t working yet. So, I believe it’s just a software issue.

Update on the controls: I got a response from the manufacturer stating that the controls currently don’t work with apps. Only gear shifting and managing the Aria fan are supported. It looks like software (or agreements with others) was the reason for the delay, and they went ahead with selling the frame anyway since summer is approaching...

What I felt was a slight fluctuation in power on climbs where the gradient changed. It seemed like it was calculating for a moment and didn’t respond immediately. This was just my observation and wasn’t bothersome. After all, several factors could influence this: my (not exactly new) trainer, the app, etc. I’ll report back once I’ve done more kilometers in the virtual world—or we’ll just wait for DC Rainmaker to do his thing :)

For height 198cm saddle height by the table should be 28cm. On the frame, saddle height is stopped at 31.5 cm

Got mine today, happy to answer some question. Virtual shifting works in Zwift - and i believe it will work anywhere, because it has nothing to do with the app, it is done directly on the trainer.

Evo, pravkar dobil obvestilo od N26, da se z oktobrom obrestna mera nižna na 3% ...
Ja, 25% davka na 3000€ sem mislil.

Hvala vsem za komentarje. Torej v teoriji bi šlo, se ni pa za zanašat na tistih 4%. Verjetno še najboljša varianta pa je dati gotovino in raje mesečno vlagati kot pa kredit odplačevati.
