Sub 250 Turbo?
Discussion
Hey all.
Got it down to 2. But looking for experiences of either/both
Tacx Satori Smart (Magnetic with adjustable resistance and ANT+)
And Cycleops Fluid2 (Fluid and no extra gubbins)
I've read that Fluid is more natural but "can" leak. And there's no real resistance at low speeds and the only way to get a harder workout is to go up the gears and speed up.
Whereas Magnetic is more intensive but feels "different" to actual riding. How different I'm not sure.
Ascetically I like the Tacx better and it seems easier to set up. The adjustability seems like a good idea and I like the "smart" angle. Although I'm unlikely to use it at this time. Maybe if I upgrade my computer it would be more use. I don't think it can be used with those videos that slow down or speed up depending on your riding. But if anyone knows different
Both units get good reviews. Noise in operation is not too much of an issue. I'll be outside and it'll only be for maybe a couple hours during the week in addition to my longer actual ride at the weekend.
Over to you guys for opinions.
