Kinetic Road Machine, hooked to a Jade bike. I can’t yet justify the $$ for a smart trainer, when this thing still just works, and it’s only for the 4-5-6 months that are too cold to ride outside, right?
My setup - Tacx Blue Motion dumb trainer or a 30 yr old Minoura Mag Roller for easy days. Power data from a Stages left side power meter. Saving for a Kickr or Kickr Core.
I’m on a Tacx Flux. It’s coming up for 5 years old, gets used a lot. Still going strong though it might need a new cassette!!!
Road bike, TravelTrac Fluid Comp and the 'fest running on a “Macrohard SufferPro.”
And various kids toys strewn everywhere.
Wahoo Kickr Bike, Wahoo Headwind fan, knock-off of the Wahoo desk, and an old-school set of Kreitler Challenger rollers (with the headwind fan and flywheel). Use AppleTV and a 50-inch TV for Zwift, and my iPadPro with AirPlay to the TV for Sufferfest. Also have a set of Bowflex dumbbells and a bench. 2021 Canyon Aeroad CFR is just resting on the rollers waiting for better weather!
God i thought that was my garage for a sec!
:joy nice.
I use the Tacx flux S too.
One thing I dislike about it is the temperature/resistance drift for the first 10-15 mins of the workout. I wish it had compensation for that.
Weird, mine doesn’t do that. I have a Flux S sitting in the garage spare (was the Hubby’s) but I’ve never used it. My first Gen seems bullet proof.
I’ve had three. A Tacx flow (dumb old one), Tacx Bushido and a Tacx Neo. The upgrade from a basic to a middle grade one was big. The middle grade to upper was not. I like the variable flywheel more than live changes in slope. This is present in the Bushido and Neo. I prop the bike at an angle. This is fine for consistent gradients. It is a pity you currently have to choose between a variable flywheel and live slope changes.
Got a new Wahoo Kickr v5, replacing an old Performance bicycling fluid trainer. Erg mode is so nice, but I am just getting used to the level mode on the Kickr.
Tacx vortex, about 3 years old.
But, it started to sound like a plane on take off, so I’ve just splashed out on a kickr core.
Almost as good as new bike day
