Charldp Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Skies ek weet die topic is nou al n Paar keer bespreek.Het besluit op die Wahoo kicker Maar nou het iemand gese on eerder vir die Cycleops Te gaan. Ek soek n virtual trainer en wil aan die virtual races deelneem.Watter een sal julle voorstel?Enige raad sal waardeur word.
Spirog Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 I have ridden a Cycleops Fluid for the last 2 years. Not a moments hassle. And, the after sales service from Bicycle Power (the distributors) is unbelievably good.

If its only to use in virtual races you can get away with a CycleOps Fluid 2 at only R5,5k. If you want a smart trainer (built in power meter, erg mode, etc) then you are looking at 3-4 times the price. If you already have a power meter then a normal Fluid2 type trainer might be perfect for you as you already have a way to measure power (assuming you care about that). If virtual racing is your one and only goal then a Fluid 2 will let you ride the CycleOps virtual racing world for relatively little money. look here for some good reviews of trainershttp://www.dcrainmaker.com/2015/11/2015-2016trainer-recommendations.html

Die Kickr is tans waarskynlik die tweede beste trainer op die mark, naas die nog-duurder Tacx Neo, en word deur basies al die sagteware ondersteun. As ek dit kon bekostig sou ek self eerder vir die Kickr gaan, nie omdat ek dink die CycleOps smart trainers nie baie goed is nie, maar omdat die Kickr so stil is en ek nie 'n ekstra wiel en buiteband sou kort nie. Dit klink wel of CycleOps moontlik 'n nuwe trainer op pad het, die Bicycle Power ouens het genoem dat daar iets 12 Mei op pad is...

Ek glo nie die KICKR is in tweede plek nie, TACX NEO het sy voor en nadele net soos die KICKR. Ek dink dit is in alle gevalle n goeie idee om die resensies te lees oor die produkte. Ek stel altyd DCrainmaker voor, hy het baie deeglike en betekenisvolle resensies oor n verskeidenheid produkte.

Ek het die Kickr getoets by die Argus expo, en as sekere mense kon ophou om ons ekonomie te Zupta, sou so een bo-aan my inkopie-lys gewees het.
Zatek Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Ek het n tacx vortex smart gevat teen R9000. Dit is n hele paar rand goedkoper as die wahoo kicker Snap en in dieselfde klas of vlak. Hy gee power, speed, cadence. Sekere van my oefen sessies is te erg vir n fluid trainer en die vortex het n electro briek. Jy kan hom ook gebruik sonder krag dan is hy soos n fluid trainer. Gaan later vandag op zwift ry en sien baie daarna uit. Sal jou laat weet hoe dit was maar as ek hom vergelyk met my Iflow is dit baie beter.
HdB Posted April 22, 2016 Posted April 22, 2016 Ek het self 'n Vortex Smart, en die grootste nadeel (in my opinie) is dat hulle nie dieselfde weerstand/gradient kan bied as die duurder trainers nie. Die Kickr Snap se maksimum is iets soos 1100W, terwyl die Vortex Smart 750W bied?So byvoorbeeld in die VirtualTraining program (en seker die ander ook), met die steiler opdraendes voel dit na 'n sekere punt nie meer moeiliker nie, jou spoed in die program word net laer aangepas. Behalwe daarvoor is dit steeds 'n uitekende instrument om mee te oefen.
Madone69 Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 The below is from Dave. Cycleops is imho better option.

Blokman Posted April 23, 2016 Posted April 23, 2016 Cycleops Power sync special . ANT + or Bluetooth ?Noob question but just asking . Bike Radar rates it high but took points as their model had bluetooth. Apparently ANT + is the one to have.Model reviewed on The Hub had ANT+. As far as actual trainer is concerned both reviews good. Edit: Just looked on the website seems there are two models , you can choose your preffered comms.

Wahoo offers both in all products simultaneously.
BicyclePower Posted April 29, 2016 Posted April 29, 2016 Correct, you would need to choose between ANT+ or Bluetooth on the CycleOps models. Wahoo offers both in all products simultaneously. Correct, but not always a bad thing as we can offer "plugins" like USB sticks to read ANT+ and most of the new tablets and phones have BLE already. Also CycleOps and PowerTap are bringing out more product with the dual frequency built in, all of our PowerTap hubs now come standard with the dual band power caps, the new PowerCal HR strap is now dual band as well as the speed/cadence sensors. The new product being released soon will have dual band as well and it is only a matter of time before they are able to manufacture the current systems with the dual band capabilities.
