Sorry for the delay. I've only just seen your question. I have a Tacx. Not sure of the number, but it's a whole wheel model. Click the bike in. I prefer that to the models with a built in axle because it makes storage easier when I've finished. Suits my style. The software is quite good. I'm not interested in Zwift, Rouvy or the other involved programmes. I've no intention of racing anyone; I just want to be able to do a decent workout when the weather is crap - like this weekend.
Thanks. I've not yet invested in a fan. The wind has been howling round here so I've been sat in the garage doorway and been using mother nature
Thank you. I "think" I've mastered standing up. Sitting there for 2.5 hours makes you learn all sorts of new techniques.
Congrats on the EPL well deserved
If that's for me thanks, but I've no idea what an EPL is. Didn't know I'd done anything special.
My Tacx shows all that. Power, calories, speed, angle of ascent and cadence are automatic. I'm not anal enough to bother how accurate the info is. All turbo riding is artificial.
Ah. Yes, of course. Sorry but I'm not very good with these textspeak abbreviations.
what is the model of your Tacx?
It's a Tacx 2240.
I like it because I can leave the wheel in my bike when using it, then fold the turbo away after use. Don't like the idea of the higher up the range models where you have to take your wheel out, then you have a great lump of machinery sat there and it always seems to be in the way.
Yeah that was a plus when I had mine but after a couple of weeks I ended up leaving it up with the bike on it anyway and used a spare wheel for a turbo tyre. The end result was no different from my direct drive trainer aside from now having one wheel fewer floating around.
Funny you should say that. I'm using my winter bike on it with a spare wheel and tubo tyre, but as its summer(allegedly) I'm not on it every day so do put the bike back and fold up the turbo. I need the space in the garage.
