Do we need to start a new thread discussing the potential merger of the merger threads?

Ugh. Please, no.
I originally wrote 1998, but decided to be charitable. I acknowledge my error.

I think I might do a feature request for TR to increase the FPS to 144hz. Its hard to do my workout knowing I might be losing some frames.

I probably lost a race on Zwift because of that.

I know I did. Everyone just disappeared and it said I lost the race by like 15 minutes. I didnāt see anyone because of the lag. They really need to fix that.

This is what it boils down toā¦.without outside investment (which Nate always seemed opposed to), TR was only going to grow so much. An acquisition was almost inevitable at some point.

I kept saying āin a recent podcast Nate talked about licensing and partnerships, moving on, etcā. I guess it must have been in that Fitt one, which is why no one was replying ātrueā. Now I know why, I was the only one who listened to it!

My hopes if this happen is that zwift and TR stay stand alone products for the time being with the option to import all trainerroad workouts into zwift. Meanwhile zwift figures out itās UI and then eventually they can be combined into one product. Even then Iād like the option to ride in the virtual worlds or go with blue bars. That way the people who want the blue bars will be happy while the people who use both right now are also happy. I just donāt trust Zwift to integrate TR well. They can hardly push updates without breaking other things.

Time to opening laptop and starting a trainerroad workout is SOOOOOO much faster than starting up zwift and getting into the world.
+2 to TR

I canāt stand Zwift. All I can hope for in an acquisition is more of a partnership where TR still exists on its own.
Like how CyclingTips is owned by Outside now.

This is why Iām confused about this apparent sloppiness with the social media & Strava activity thatās driving a lot of the speculation. Silence and NDAs are usually needed for deals like this, so youād think theyād be more careful not to telegraph moves. Maybe thereās nothing to it or itās just that, sloppiness.

Wonder if we will start getting trainer road named climbs? Alpe Dā Trainer Roadā¦ Are they also going to start naming us ātrainer roadersā? Do we now have to go on a facebook page after every sesh and ask if our ftp is good? Im scaredā¦

Is it sloppiness though? Essentially what was documented was someone following someone else on Strava, joining a Strava club, and an Instagram post of a hotel window picture in Reno. All innocuous stuff. My point is someone had to take a very deep dive to put the puzzle pieces together so I wouldnāt call this sloppy.

But yet some people still think no one would dive into someoneās easily accessible training data that gets posted on Stravaā¦
@Power13 Are you referring to the TR executive who does workouts on Zwift? If so I am not sure how that is revealing. I imagine a lot of employees (who are cyclists) use both TR and Zwift. While Zwift may technically be a competitor in some form I doubt the platform is taboo or banned to TR employees?
