Experience with importing smart trainers- too much maintenance?

[dirtypot]

I have the Direto and love it.  It's given me exactly zero hassle and works as it's meant to.

Yup, landed cost with all VAT, duties, shipping etc.

When I look at getting a new smart trainer it will be from cycleops purely because of how good the local support it.

Thank you for this

Thank you for this 

You guys are stars and I will always recommend you. I had a problem a few years back with my powerbeam pro, I couldnt find the proof of purchase and still the issue was sorted out under warranty with no questions asked and no fighting from my side. 

 

That is great customer service!

Hey guys,

 

Is there a local agent for the Kinetic Road Machine 2.0?

A trainer takes punishment every night (if you are getting your money,s worth) . Its definitely not an item I would be comfy buying grey without local backup and support. Especially when both Wahoo and Cycleops have such great local agents.
