PowerBeam Pro or i420 indoor cycle

[Jacques Viljoen]

G'day Hubbers,

 

Could anyone please give advice on a PowerBeam Pro VS. i420 indoor cycle. I have very little IDT experience

 

I only ride MTB so I think it would be good using PowerBeam trainer so I still sit on a MTB, while on a i420 cycle it is more road setup. But would you get the same training from a PowerBeam Pro vs. i420 indoor cycle. i420 is heavy so I feel you could work harder

 

I don't believe cost would be that big differance cos if I buy a a PowerBeam Pro I would still want a new rear wheel with slick tyre + I'm running X01 so that means wheel with X01 cassette. Then also extra miles on your bike = servicing.

 

And is it good to have your carbon frame clamped down while your going working hard on bike ...must be a lot more stress on frame?

Have had a PowerbBeam and now have a 400IDT. Would take the IDT any day. With new IPad software it is fantastic
