Getting started

Quick start: your first CdA estimate in 10 minutes

Set up your rider profile, add a bike, import a ride and see your first numbers.

1. Fill in the Rider tab

Enter weight, height, inseam and build. These carry over as defaults to every bike's fit model, so you only enter them once. FTP is optional but unlocks W/kg.

2. Add your bike

On the Bikes tab, pick your frame from the catalog so WattGap starts from its published wind-tunnel figure. Choose your frame size, tires, rim widths and cockpit (spacers, stem, bar width).

3. Import rides

Upload .FIT, .GPX or .TCX files from Garmin, Wahoo or any head unit on the Import tab. Files are read in your browser; only ride summaries are saved.

4. Compare

Use Calculator to see speed at a given power, and Time Delta to see how many seconds a setup change saves over a distance.
