Chinese indoor trainer

No decathlon in Canada? Could be your best option. 11/11 may bring some good discount?
I ended up not buying as the PayPal discount went away as I Was filling my mat cart…

Any feedback from the new owners?

Had some initial issues with accuracy with the R200, thought it’s a faulty unit, but I guess it needed some calibration (apparently it’s automatic). Now it works well. Also received the virtual shifter clicker thingie. But since I’ve done 2 sessions in ERG mode, haven’t had the chance to properly test it.

Also Patty is about to drop a video review on this unit soon.

Received the r200 today and set it up. That was easy. Put the gravel bike on it and rode it for a 50 mins interval training session, just linking. I am Lacking any good reference so take it with a grain of salt, but I found it to be stable and solid feeling. I think I will have to play with spacers on the back of the cassette (mtb 11-52) to have it perfectly set up so it shift smooth and is quiet like on the bike. Next is to find an app for the surface tablet to make things a bit more entertaining. I don’t think I would ever be able to do 3-4h on that thing, but 1-1h30 could be manageable and the long ride outdoor on the weekend

[Ludo]

what made you choose the r200?

I can get the X2 max for 211Euros and the R200 for 243Euros

then I have to add the cassette for the R200 and I can buy the sort of zwift and cog for the X2 max https://fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005010630634537.html?

I got it for $198 delivered, it had a slightly better accuracy and higher wattage rating (although at my level of power I think it’s irrelevant). I don’t think there is much to distinguish them to be honest.

wow, these are $600+ cdn

Hi,
I purchased the ThinkRider XXPRO interactive home trainer.
It's my first experience with home trainers.

I wanted to ask your opinion.
I can't figure out if it's normal and correct for the pedaling to feel very hard and resistant; for example, I struggle to get the 50/11 gear ratio to turn, and even with a more agile gear, such as a 34t chainring, it doesn't seem so easy.

Can you please tell me if the feeling is correct or not, and how I can fix it?
Thank you.

What do you use to control the trainer? Any app?
