The fixed-gear bicycle (aka fixed-wheel bicycle or fixie) is a bicycle that has a drivetrain with no freewheel mechanism. More recently the “fixie” has become a popular alternative among mainly urban cyclists, offering the advantage of simplicity compared with the standard multi-geared bicycle, and becoming another way to experience the passion for bike.
Did you know that MagneticDays allows the use of fixie also?
To use the fixed-gear system, pull the lock towards the cassette sprocket. It’s very important to align the pins of the locking system to the spaces between the teeth of the larger chainring. When the locking system is closed, it allows the use of your fixed-gear. The fixed-gear system represents another opportunity offered by MagneticDays, a world-unique plus among the indoor training systems, confirming the innovation and high quality of JARVIS, a real smart scientific trainer adaptable to every need and condition.
The new release 6.0.5 of MD Training PC software is available now. Download it from APP section of our website. This version improve the previous (6.0.2) adjusting some software bugs.
It’s possible to save a workout made as FIT extension and upload it on platforms like Strava or TrainingPeaks? Yes! MagneticDays offers you this opportunity also! You can download your workout from the personal MD account as .FIT extension (section “workout completed”). In addition, is possible also to import a workout (in the personal MD account) as .FIT extension and ride it on Jarvis:
- YOU CAN import only file .FIT to do made with platforms like TrainingPeaks or similar;
- YOU CAN NOT import file .FIT done made by Garmin or similar.
Don’t worry! You can ride on MagneticDays your favorite routes – using the button named UPLOAD FILE – where you can import .TCX or .GPX files.
The new release 2.2.6 of App MD WiFi is already available for iOS and Android. It includes 2 innovations:
CYCLING EFFICIENCY (visible on user account) – value expressed in % that shows how much the user/athlete was good to keep cadence indicated by the MD Coach.
IL JOULE INCREMENTAL TEST – new incremental protocol (we are the one and only to make it) realized and based on the previous protocol, with the goal to show overlapping data values. The most important difference lies in the workout, expressed in Joule (and agreed upon with the MD Coach), and fact that the it is kept constant during the test.

Coach Andrea Gabba will be the person in charge to create new amazing high quality training protocols of HTT Methodology, that will be named as HTT 2. “I have had the opportunity to try Jarvis Training System by MagneticDays recently, working with a few Pro triathletes and age group athletes, and I was very impressed by the versatility of this product. Since I work with MagneticDays (the first Indoor Training System based on a scientific approach) I was able to convert my ideas into reality, offering high quality built training to my athletes during spring and summer also (at least twice a week), because there are specific workouts that are more efficient if done with this training system if compared to others on the road. MagneticDays is “more than a smart trainer” and my athletes have obtained great results at all levels: World Cup, Italian Championship, Cross Triathlon and more. I’m very happy to collaborate with MagneticDays – Coach Gabba said – because it is not only an indoor training platform but a top cycling lab always constantly growing. MagneticDays allows you to optimize your time and training in the best way, giving you the chance to improve yourself under each point of view.. if you try it, you love it!”
