Anyone got a Tacx Fortius turbo trainer?

If any of you peeps has a Tacx fortius trainer and fancies hooking up online for a training session give me a shout. I warn you now you will probably cane me as I'm still recovering from a trapped nerve in my back at the mo!

I have one. I only use it during the winter.
How are you finding yours? I find that the constant updates and teething problems are extremely frustrating.
Although when it is working fine (rarely) it is very enjoyable.
My favourite spins are the amstel gold and Alp D'huez.
Do you recommend any? I'm going to get a few new ones for this winter.

Hey Nick,

I also tend to only use it in the winter months although with all the rain we have been having I was thinking of setting it back up again. The main issue I have had with it the software crashing or just being slow / lumpy graffics. I put it down to my computer graffics card / memory, so I need to try and get that sorted before I try again.
That aside, the simulation effect from the motor resitance is brilliant and it certainly makes for a more interesting training session than a normal turbo trainer. At heart I'm a bit of a geek really so I love the ubandance of stats for wattage / heartrate etc

If you don't mind I'll keep your details to hand and maybe give you a shout later in the year

Cheers
Dan.
