Smart turbo trainer

[jifdave]

I know it's the wrong time of year for people to part with their turbos...

However looking for a tacx vortex or similar so I can Zwift my life away and feel the hills.

Watching a few on eBay but conscious that sometimes people sell them because they are worn out.

I've got an old Tacx iMagic that you can have for nothing if you want it. All you'll need to pay for is postage. I think the cadence magnet is missing but that's it and I did see them for sale on Wiggle once (the magnets). It does come with it's own training software but I think its too old for use with Zwift, Bkool, etc.

Thanks for the offer, but want something on Zwift.
May just buy a tacx flow t2240. Its up for £189 in Halfords so minus bc discount it's around £170

OK, no problems and I hope you get a new toy soon!

Hi @r04DiE I have looked at the Imagic before as I thought the software might entertain me more than just spinning on the turbo.
Can I ask why you don't use yours anymore?
Trying not to buy anything that I won't use/need like I have for the last couple of years

Just because I updated to a newer one recently. Are you interested in it?

You know you love it

No worries, so long as @broady doesn't want it

I'd love to give it a try @r04DiE
Where are you? Assume it would be a real pain to box it up?

No worries at all - you have my address in your PMs.

I think I went all-out for the deluxe package at the time. I think it cost about £400!

Just Googled it -- I didn't know you could get a trainer with a virtual steering unit. That's amazing! Do any more modern trainers come with the for Zwift or similar?
