Cois Posted April 9, 2021 Share How can you do a structured workout if the thing can't do ERG mode?Thanks. Now I know that little information as well. Will have to do a lot more homework on trainers and the terminology. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted April 9, 2021 Share I might have found a trainer R500 under the price on the Garmin Website.. Not like CycleLab selling the same trainer at R1000 more than the Garmin Website Muttley 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muttley Posted April 9, 2021 Share How can you do a structured workout if the thing can't do ERG mode?Meet required wattage by changing gear up or down if need be... ERG mode means no gear change required ChrisF 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cois Posted April 9, 2021 Share Okay, another bust. We show stock on our websites, but our website is wrong. So the hunt continues Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thug Posted April 9, 2021 Share I've now been 5 years cancer free! Had 2 ops in March 2016, literally 3 months before Race to Rhodes. Must admit it did cause a bit of havoc with my preparation. MrJacques, Help.Me., Cois and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cois Posted April 10, 2021 Share Which one did you get, the tacx fluid s like the one posted earlier?If you don’t mind me asking, how much did it costI got the Tacx Flux S Smart TrainerWas R12500. CycleLab quoted R13999 for the same device, but they do not have stock in Pretoria. Garmin has the RRP as R12999 on their website. So I am glad that HotSpot Cycles had it on sale for R12500.

Just make sure that it's fully compatible with your MTB- I originally purchased one of these from a certain CT bike shop after being told that it's fully compatible with my group set, only to find that my rear derailleur cage was too long. They told me to just use the bike in ERG mode and I told them to get stuffed and made them take it back. Cois 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
