Problems with USB Thumb Drives

Some consoles reject or even crash when a newer model USB drive is used. A 1GB drive is your best bet.

If the USB logo fails to flash at the end of a ride, or the unit shuts off (crashes), you probably have an incompatible drive.

Problems with Files

I only have one model of indoor bike. It's possible that your bike produces a different file format.

If your file doesn't work, feel free to send it my way.

Converting your workout file to TCX

Step 1 - Click "Load CSV..." to select your workout file

Step 2 - If the file loads correctly, you will see this

Step 3 - Adjust and click "Save TCX..."

By default, the workout time will be set to the timestamp on the CSV file. If you want to set a custom time, uncheck "Use File Time as Workout Time" and adjust the time.

Step 4 - The TCX file has been saved

Step 5 - Upload your TCX file
