Smart indoor trainer - which one?

[LeoKnight]

Try reading the ad again as it is an old bushido which is not a smart trainer!! 

 

Not much more than a fluid trainer with Ant+ broadcasting for power to tacx software and can only work with Zwift via z-power, using speed/cadence sensors and an estimated zwift power curve.

 

Else can only work with the original tacx software as the Ant+ protocol is not FE-C.

Here a review of the trainer, suitable to use with own software as a smart trainer which can control the trainer and probably trainerroad and rouvy which will have incorporated tacx Ant+ protacol, but not as a smart trainer with FE-C so will only work with z-power curves for zwift

Seller has been pretty clear and specific in his ad, so suggest to read up on before making claims is dodgy!

Just got a newsletter from BicyclePower, new CycleOps trainers out, H2 and M2 respectively. Have a look there. As we know CycleOps has good local support. I'm seriously considering looking at the H2, I'm getting quite tired of the inconsistencies with my current IDT.

The Tacx Flux 2 has just hit the shops in USA, so will also be an option

For many the weakening Rand has resulted in massive price increases. We now offer the Hammer H2 with a 12-month Zwift subscription from R1 850.00 per month plus 10% deposit.
