Chinese indoor trainer

[Ludo]

Thanks for the feedback. For sure the max power is not my biggest worry

I have the XX pro, and it's solid and good. Haven't tried the cycplus, but their app seems a lot better integrated. The thinkrider app is completly useless as far as I can see. No idea how to calibrate it or anything.
If they were the same price I'd pic the cycplus, you rarely go above 19% climbs and 2.2k watts are probably plenty 

I use the thinkrider app all the time, and re calibrate before each ride. It is called thinkrider tools, I click on raceration calibration > selection device and once I click on my device I go back and click again on raceration calibration. (no device can be connected to your trainer tho, otherwise it won't detect your trainer)

However, I would stay away from XXprO because appareantly it slips or there was a russian video about it so I just bought thinkrider x2 max which was $230, but Cycplus r200 looks way better tho, so you should go with that.

So my Cycplus R200 arrived yesterday. Looks pretty sick. Haven’t fully tested it yet, only paired it with Zwift for a quick spin, everything works well. Freewheel and the unit itself is pretty quiet. For the 285 USD I think this is a no-brainer of a deal.

Aah that makes sense, I was wondering what the hell that option did. "Raceration" didn't give much clarity 

The app is still a bit mysterious, when I downloaded it from google play store, it was all translated to spanish, and couldn't switch?
Then downloading the apk from their web-site gave me an english version, but with 3 extra chinese options, which I have no idea what they do.

I haven't noticed any slipping, only some odd sensation when climbs are over 19% and I'm in low gear, but that seems common with motor driven trainers.

It does smell a bit burned after you do a hard sprint on it though, that may be the motor brakes?

I don’t think we will ever get such price here in Europe. Was considering waiting for the 11/11, but I am a bit afraid the price might go up for the event.

[Ludo]

We are close in US, 265$ incl’shipping, 20% coupons available and 8% state taxes. Could get a Little cheaper is discountés by another 5-10$ for 11/11

[cramy]

wondering if a zwift cog and click can be installed on it.

[Ludo]

Well it’s going to be impossible to say no to that offer, if the additional 20% coupon works it’s a steal at $210

Yup, saw that price reduction for the 11/1. Well could have saved 30 bucks, but whatever.

You probably could use the cog, but the click won’t work with the R200. Cycplus has their own virtual shifting thingie you can get for extra 30 bucks or so.

I don't know how you guys manage to get it so cheap to your country, shipped to Canada even with coupons is 950CAD and that's probably before import duties, which at this point is more expensive than say a jetblack victory or a kickr core, and with lot less proven mileage...

Prices vary country to country, for Canada you are better off getting new lower end garmin trainer price wise, but if you really want a good deal, you need to look at the used market. Sometimes they jack the price since they don't want it to be shipped to that country.
