What we built, and why it works the way it does
Domestique Hub is a training app for clubs — cyclists, runners, swimmers, triathletes and their coaches. These posts walk through what is new, with real screens from the app.
GoPro, Insta360 or Drift Ghost? A live rear-view camera for cycling — and why you still want the radar
How the three cameras Domestique Hub supports compare as a live rear view on your phone — GoPro HERO 13, Insta360 X3/X4/X5 and Drift Ghost XL Pro — and how a Garmin Varia radar completes the picture.
Use your GoPro as a live rear-view camera on the bike
Put your GoPro's live picture on your ride screen: the app wakes the camera over Bluetooth, joins its Wi-Fi and shows the road behind you beside your speed, power and radar. Tested on the HERO 13 Black.
Insta360 X3, X4 or X5 as a live rear-view camera on your bike
See your Insta360's rear lens live on your ride screen, record to the camera from the bars and keep your phone on mobile data for the group, map and radar — on iPhone and Android.
Drift Ghost XL Pro: a live rear view on your iPhone, without losing your internet
In station mode the Drift Ghost joins your phone's hotspot, so its live picture reaches your ride screen while the phone stays online. REC from the bars, rotate for any mount.
Garmin Varia radar on your phone — and one radar that warns the whole group
Pair a Garmin Varia rear radar with your phone over Bluetooth: cars on a radar rail, a banner and a chime on every ride page — and on a group ride, one radar anywhere in the pack warns everyone.
Peloton tracking: every rider’s position in the pack, live and after the ride
How Domestique Hub places every rider in a group ride — GPS fused with phone-to-phone Bluetooth ranging, ordered every two seconds — what you see live, and a sample Pack dynamics report for a whole ride.
Escort mode: the team car follows the group, and the group’s positions follow the car
Put the support car on the same live ride as the riders: every rider on the map, the pack in order, who is dropped, per-rider power and heart rate on a laptop — and the car kept out of every rider statistic.
Every device Domestique Hub connects to: sensors, trainers, radar, cameras and apps
The full list of what pairs with Domestique Hub — heart-rate straps, power meters, speed and cadence sensors, FTMS and Tacx smart trainers, treadmills, Garmin Varia, GoPro, Insta360, Drift Ghost, Strava, Spotify and Apple Music.
Smart trainer control: Wahoo KICKR, Tacx, Elite, Zwift Hub — ERG, resistance and real gradient
Domestique Hub controls FTMS smart trainers and Tacx trainers over FE-C: ERG at your target watts, a fixed resistance, or the real gradient of a 3D road — and FTMS treadmills for indoor runs.
Heart-rate straps and watches: Polar H10, Garmin HRM, Wahoo TICKR and watch broadcast
Any strap that broadcasts standard Bluetooth heart rate pairs with Domestique Hub — Polar, Garmin, Wahoo and more, plus Garmin watch broadcast — for rides, runs, gym sessions and the team car.
Power meters, cadence sensors and footpods: Garmin Rally, Favero Assioma, Stages, Stryd
Domestique Hub reads Bluetooth power meters — pedals, cranks and hubs — with cadence, L/R balance, NP, IF and TSS, plus speed and cadence sensors, running footpods and Stryd running power.
Strava, Spotify and Apple Music: the apps that connect to Domestique Hub
Send every ride to Strava automatically, import your history, control Spotify or Apple Music from the ride screen, and upload .fit files from Garmin, Wahoo or Zwift.
How to mount your phone on your bike safely: an out-front mount and a safety tether
Using your phone as a bike computer? An out-front quarter-turn mount keeps it in sight, and a short elastic safety tether stops it hitting the road if the mount fails. What to buy and how to fit it.
What's new in Domestique Hub 1.1: gym plans, custom workouts and pack dynamics
Version 1.1 adds strength plans for endurance athletes, a gym session player, editable smart-trainer workouts, pack dynamics for group rides and a reworked live ride screen.
Strength training for runners, cyclists, swimmers and triathletes: gym plans built for your sport
Gym plans that start from the sport you train for, run in four-week blocks, and rewrite themselves for the equipment in your room — at a commercial gym or at home.
A gym session you can follow from the bench
Big numbers you can read from the rack, supersets on one page, holds that time themselves, follow-along warm-up videos — and every session saved as an activity with your heart rate.
Copy any smart-trainer session and make it yours
Every structured session in the trainer library now has Copy & edit, and New session builds one from scratch. Your sessions ride exactly like the built-in ones, in erg mode on your FTP.
Ride the Stelvio indoors: real climbs in 3D on your smart trainer
Real passes baked from real elevation, the gradient sent to your trainer as you reach it, the climb split into sections, and the rest of your club on the same road.
Who did the work? Pack dynamics for every group ride
The live peloton view places every rider on the pack's own axis in metres, fuses GPS with Bluetooth ranging between phones, and keeps the whole ride so you can see who sat on the front.
A live ride screen that follows the road
Climbs that appear as you reach them, a course that knows which way you are riding, the camera and radar on every page, and every data field fed from a real source.
