Neo 2t in the post......

Could you have your wife talk to mine? Oh never mind, it would backfire and then your wife would also say " what's wrong with the bike (or trainer) you have now?"

Edit: Don't try to mention that @Rod McG has a whole wing of his house set up with a 8x10 video wall. When I said that my wife reminded me my kitchen remodel is approaching the 8 month mark.

I told her working yesterday today and next Sunday will almost cover the costs...

I’m pretty sure mine did.

also the latest BigringVR has road feel like the Tacx sim. It is kind of fun but one Tacx ride along a canal had so many potholes it started hurting my back.

NEO1+2 and most other high end trainers don’t. I find it highly unlikely that @Randyberlin’s one did if not ordered seperately. Just use the one you use now.

I have "gold" account at the place I bought mine from in Portland Oregon and they may have thrown it in. But I didn't buy another one and gave my old training to a friend with the one I used for it.

Edit: it also came with a Zwift and Tacx free month

They might have - they are only like £10 from China. The real Tacx one (T2028) is sold at about 3-5x that in Denmark. Is it 3-5x better? Probably not!

Some trainers come with 3 months of BKOOL here in Denmark from some vendors.

Sorry I lied. I just went back and looked. The place I deal with gives me a "rebate credit" and I got $139 worth with the Neo..

I'm supposed to be painting. But @shimceltic getting set up on a new 2T is way more important.

I suggest we do the Giro stage 2 with Oscar Freire on Thursday at 5 PM UK, just to test out the NEO, and then the league ride afterwards.

We might however need someone else to start the league tide, as I'm not sure we'll be finished in time with the Giro stage.

Is it an uphill?

Oh YES!

 

[shimceltic]

Oh YES!

Well if I'm on the neo I hope my gearing will be better than the sora gears I'd been using

What cassette did you get - or rather which max cassette size does you rear derailleur support? I wouldn't mount anything less than a 32t, unless you have compact at the front (50-34).
