THE bike of the World Tour at the moment is the Van Rhysel, as supplied to Decathlon AG2R – I cannot believe that this bike isn’t in the shop and automatically awarded at one level or another!

In reply to Debstar Rider. This is related to the new level requirements in the newly designed drop shop. Some old good things with low level requirements like DT Swiss Arc 1100 Dicut 62 at level 6 are now ranked much higher. But then there are faster bikes and so on...

Where are the rest of the frames and wheel sets? the older list had at least twice the numbers here. What gives?

I don’t know where to ask this but here I go. A guy we have been riding with the past 6 years Edgar won’t say last name has changed his name to Edwina and also his Avatar to a female! What bothers me is Zwift still allows him to actually be on the female list of Sprinters and QOM’s! He is still married etc but has done it for fun. Yet even on events his avatar is female etc.
I just wanted to know if his actual account is set up as a male How come when he enters events Zwift doesn’t automatically put him in the Men’s columns?? Very frustrating
I have no issues with the he/she thing but this is Not the case. And very unfair to the rest of the females when riding with him in race events etc.
love to hear back as to the reasoning for this.
thanks for letting me vent about it lol lol

In reply to Phil Young. Sure, bike and wheel choice matters. It wouldn't make THAT much of a difference though. I would use an aero bike like the Venge+Disc combo or Tron.

Which is the best bike frame and wheelset to use for the Repack Rush course (when using Zwift Play)? I had been using my Specialized Aethos/Millenstein wheels and my best time was 3:07. Then, when I switched to the Tron bike, my time dropped rather dramatically to 2:53. Just luck? Or does it depend on the bike, too?

In reply to William Hosch. Looking again, guess it would be better to get the C60 for the sprints and put the carbon wheels back on for the final climb. Consider me done pestering you about this, lol!

In reply to Eric Schlange. Thank you for the link. I figured that star rank is a rather broad category, so I understood that the C60 was somewhat faster than the C40. I just wondered if the C40 would be a better all around upgrade from the base carbon wheels I have now. Particularly as I want to try the Zwift games and I am just level 10, so have limited choices. In any case, thank you very much for your help!

See data here, William: https://zwiftinsider.com/charts-wheels/

The star ratings are not super granular, so both wheelsets may have a 3-star rating, but one may still be more aero than the other. Our speed test data gives you precise measurements.
