Tacx Flux FTP test

[SFDT]

Hi, is there a way of doing a basic 20min ftp test on a tacx smart trainer without installing trainerroad etc?

 

Can I use my garmin edge 520's ftp setting(or is actual power meter neccessary) or the basic tacx app/cloud?

I found that the Tacx power readings was higher that normal readings that said. You can use your 520 or do a warmup then press lap button and go all out for 20min press lap again and cool down. Job done.

 

The 520 will automatically update your ftp when it improves.

Thank you Zatek. Will try that. Do I need to set the trainer on a certain power level or wil resistance be enough with using bikes gears?

Think I setup my kicker to plus 1 on resistance. I would use a combination of both so that I am litle below the moddle om the block or cassette.
