Tacx Flow Budget Smart Trainer

Okay, so there you go, a complete look at the Tacx Flow, smart, hope I didn't call it a flex too many times here, and overall, I'm impressed for the m...

Yes, I would highly recommend this for anyone who's looking for something in that inexpensive $300 to $400 range. If literally all you're looking at d...

But we're talking about a budget trainer here. It weights only 9.4kg and can be easily stored by folding the two legs of it

Good - I bought this because it showed on the website a broad array of cycling applications it supported. Its sturdy and easy to install. Meh - I wouldn't say mine is quiet. Its around 100 decibles.

Will not connect to bluetooth with MacBooks. When it connects to my phone's Zwift, bluetooth will disconnect if you pause the game. Serio...

*Disclaimer: if this is what your budget can afford, you will still get real training gains from this and I will post both negatives and positives of this trainer* Negatives: Really consider before buying this trainer because the accuracy is extremely off. The speed, power, and cadence sensors are h...
