The world of Zwift holds a special place in our meta-hearts, and we’ve begun designing charts that speak to its unique nature. Thanks to everyone who commented on our first set of charts. Here’s the next bunch!
Riders swap bikes in real-life races… why not on Zwift? Well, because AppleTV’s remote sucks, that’s why! On courses that include swap-friendly sections like Makuri Islands’ Temple KOM, PC users have a distinct advantage. Learn how to swap bikes quickly >
Some Zwifters use smart scales that automatically sync their weight to Zwift. We salute these bastions of racing transparency. (BTW: Withings sync on Zwift has been broken for years – but there’s an easy workaround.)
The rest of us must manually update our weights. And while we’re convinced that the vast majority of Zwifters aren’t weight doping in any extreme way, we’re quite sure many riders have skipped updating their weight on “heavy” days, optimistically looking forward to the day when their weight magically drops.
And as soon as it drops below their current setting, you can bet it will be updated.
If you’ve ever searched for the Yeti or tried to unlock the coveted Lightweight Meilenstein wheels, this chart will speak to your soul.
Your Thoughts
What do you think of this first set of Zwift charts? Got an idea for a useful chart we could put together? Share below!
Love the Alpe chart
Thank you, Eric. These are charts we can all relate to and find funny but painfully true.
I remember my entered weight on Zwift with great fondness.
Interesting, informative, guilt-inducing, and funny! Well done Eric! Thank-you!
The alpe is my recurring nightmare
To Whom It May Concern,
Please could I ask you to check my profile I did two sessions this morning, which were both saved, but have not been published on Strava as yet?
And is there a way I could change my e-mail address (Strava log in) as I know longer work at that company.
Kind Regards
Stanley Partington
Hi Stanley. This isn’t Zwift support, so no one here can check your profile. If your activity didn’t sync to strava, you can try manually uploading the .fit file from your Zwift activity. And yes you can change your email address on Strava.
=D
We had a small discussion in our team last ZRL season. The trigger was, “I’ve always been at 68.0kgs since I was 16yrs old.” (by an end-40-ish team mate). 🙈
EDIT: Whereas I also have to add that we have those weight syncers too \o/
should be changed to Aspirational Weight, then none of us need feel guilty
The Alpe chart is very real because I’ve climbed up the Alpe 90 times till now and saw Yeti only twice
