I have not tried it, but I read that Golden Cheetah supports controlling some trainers' resistance in the latest versions? Not sure if it supports competing against others though, or how it handles riding a GPS route.

 

All the other paid programs seem to be similar in cost, around $10 per month, give or take.

For this who are having problems with their CycleOps PowerSync / PowerBeam giving very high speed and power data please check that the black tape on the non drive side of the alu roller drum is still there if not it can lead to high speed readings and thus give bad power data.

Cool thanks. Ive got the new Vortex Smart

 

I also use a Vortex Smart, and it works perfectly with the VirtualTraining software. Just check that your trainer has been updated to the latest firmware.

Mine goes through calibration fine. With the same result every time...will try take it to Bicyclepower tomorrow with ipad.

Some feed back...as usual Dave and he's team looked after me very well!

 

It seems the black tape that is on the trainer drum helps when there is a lot of light in the area. I moved the trainer from a darker lounge to an open sunlit area. I think the tape helps the sensors pick up contrast. so all good to go for winter training...

 

Thanks again Bicycle Power for the good back up service and support.

Im feeling that every time I get on the trainer, thought I was stronger than it says I am though :(

Been wanting to join one of the races for ages but didnt have a compatible trainer.
