If you register your gear, 1 x smart-bike, kettler hoi speed, do you enter the bike weight? For a virtual ride (ROUVY) I would assume bike weight is irrelevant? Kindly advise right procedures to ensure W is correct.

To my knowledge the only time bike weight matters is when Strava estimates power if actual power data is unavailable. Most of the virtual cycling apps (including Rouvy) report power directly so that is the value used by Strava for any data analysis. Bike weight should be irrelevant as the raw power data will be used.
