Gp lama reporting that in theory it can be used with older kickr models and other makes of turbo too. It looks a bit odd to me but then my family think I look a bit odd putting out meagre watts on the NEO.
That said Mrs B has foolishly indicated I could have one of the new Taxc NEO concept trainers
Of course she (and I ) have no idea at all how much it will cost just like she has no idea how much the NEO cost

It says it can go from +20% to -10%? Or is that the wahoo turbo rather than the new gizmo? It doesn't look like it could go 20% to me just looking at it but very possibly I'm wrong.

Maybe the next thing is 3D glasses, then

-10% and the pedals touch the floor.. will that simulate pave?

£500 notes. Bargain.
Almost cheaper than buying a new BKool Pro and a front wheel.

Vuelta stage today looks like an epic! Come on Froome lad, ride it like your on an Elite trainer and blow away the opposition!

Watching the video it's worth getting one just to make it easier to get on and of the bike.
Plus if I was getting a crook in my neck looking up at the tele I could just crank up the front wheel.
I need to think a bit more as to how it could be used for 'on the saddle' wine despensing.

Can't you just use a camelback to keep your wine in, it'll be on tap as you ride then!

This is what you need (maybe the 2ltr one will do)

Inflation bladder and liquid are seperate so there'll be no oxidation of any wine used

Froome nearly added a minute to his lead, yay

Came real close to taking back the Green Jersey as well.
I thought he was in trouble when Nibali went at about 1.4 to go and then he did his normal and had a bit of a micro rest, recharged his batteries and started putting on the pressure himself but the young Colombian, Lopez, was on a good day.
To be honest I thought he had won by more than 14 seconds.
At the end of the day Froome went through all that to take 2 seconds on Nibali.
Shame about young Chaves though, I do like his chirpy character.

I was thinking more of a wine bottle and glass holder so as you raise the front wheel it pours wine into the glass.
That way I can refresh myself on the descents and my glass on the climbs.

Drinking wine out of a camelback is just not classy at all.
I don't know how one could have even considered it.

Lay of the BKool bashing or else HID gets an e-mail with a picture of a Neo complete with RRP!

In all likelyhood I am wrong in this

But 20% is only 9 degrees of tilt and -10% is 4.5 degrees of slope. So there it only needs at most 15 degrees of diference to cover that range. Or have I got my maths/pythagorums/whatever wrong my brain hurts. It's 6 in the morning and I've just got in. Another joyous night of call out . Time for some sleep me thinks.
