Getting into indoor cycling with Zwift. Need help, please. Bike trainer advice. Accessories too
I want to get more into biking but I find it more convenient when I can ride inside when there's no group ride for the day. I want to use Zwift with my friends but have no trainer right now. I have done lots of research and am thinking of buying the Tacx Flow for my trainer. Does anyone have any experience with this trainer? Will I need any other sensors to use the Zwift app? I have an iPhone to connect it via BTE. Will I need an ANT+ sensor? Or will it just work better with it? I also use my Garmin Fenix 5 and HRM TRI for all training activities. Will these work in tandem with everything?
Before you go looking for a NEW indoor trainer, look on Craigslist, eBay or other online sites for a gently USED one. People sell used exercise equipment all the time for pennies on the dollar. I found mine through a local craigslist ad for a mere $65.00 - WITH the Cycle-Ops training block for under the front tire. At the time it was a top-of-the-line fluid trainer from Performance Bike selling for $200 new.
As far as the electronics go… I simply don't know. I just use a wired CatEye cadence computer.
