I intend building a ht 29er for Winter.
Then I idly started looking into Zwift… Intriguing!
I’m far from being properly fit but I’ve made some good inroads so far this year and want to keep it up.
Realistically I won’t be out as much over Winter. I know I should just “get out and ride” but Zwift might be a good compromise for the weeks I don’t!
Basically I want to make sure I don’t build a bike up that is totally unusable for Zwift… but still needs to be a “proper” mountain bike… Albeit with a swap out rear wheel for Zwift.
So initial dumb questions are:
1) Ht mountain bike “suitable” for Zwift? As in usable if not ideal.
2) Smart trainers ok with mtb axle/ frame widths etc etc?
3) Bike will be used both SS (another first for me!) and 1×11 (mostly). Are both scenarios ok with Zwift?
4) Guessing having a 2nd rear wheel with appropriate trainer tyre fitted would be a good idea?
5) Will a frame with sliding dropouts cause issues on a trainer?
That will clear up some of my basic questions for now and thanks for any info given as always. 🙂
