Re: The Cycling Thread
Mavi - thanks for sending the link unfortunately looks like I was a few hours too late!
I would have had that otherwise. I'm considering looking at this...http://www.wiggle.co.uk/tacx-flow-mu...er-vr-trainer/ But I have to be honest, a lot of the information about the trainers tacx offer is rubbish. It seems to say that the only difference between them is (a) software, and (b) the braking force - therefore the reality of going uphill. Apparently the i-flow is only realistic to about 5% (although that should be plenty for what I'm after. Are there many benefits to these units or should I save my money and just get a much cheaper trainer? (Or just rule #5 and go out in the wet/cold) |

Re: The Cycling Thread
Yes, the one on wiggle is a great price, in fact I'm thinking of getting it, as its got the steering frame and of course its a bit more up to date than my I-Flow.
I found the VR ride of Ventoux to be pretty realistic, compared to the real McCoy, I had difficulty getting out of the wooded section on the VR ride because it was so hot in the garage and the resistance of the braking force It was the same on the real slope, although cooler because of it being outside. The cheaper trainers are boring now IMHO, having a course to follow that gets harder & easier as the road changes is much more fun. So are the other cartoon type rides. Not perfect, but better than a normal turbo
