Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

This is great. I haven't tried others - but it was easy to set-up, it is standard and easy to find in the various on-line programs - I've used Zwift & TrainerRoad so far, and it has really been helping a lot with my training when I can't get in an outdoor ride. Questions that I had starting out (beginners starting out): - Do I need anything else to ride? You need a block for your front wheel. A basic one is maybe $6 on Amazon. And probably a mat to protect your floor, mine was $26 on amazon. - Is there anything else I don't need but I "need"? I highly suggest speed and cadence sensors (Mine were ~$55 on amazon). You'll need that to hook into other programs - like Zwift etc. I got ones that hook up to my watch. If you're doing them with your computer, you'll need a USB extension cord and an ANT+ dongle too (~$20-$25 for both, Amazon). Also - a fan is REALLY nice ... I use a tiny "desk fan" one and it's great. - What programs should I use? I personally suggest trying them all. Zwift has a 1 week free trial, Rouvy has a 2 week free trial and TrainerRoad is only $12 per month & easy to quit at the end of that month ... give them all a try. - That quick-release bar on the back tire that I have to use in this...1st, does it come with this? 2nd, can I use that outside? Yes and yes. Once you change it, just leave it in. I didn't know and switched back and forth the 1st 3 or 4 times and, while it's not a great big pain ... it's an extra step and it really isn't necessary ... the CycleOps one can just stay in. Enjoy & get to training!
