Tacx Flow - Budget Smart Training on Zwift 

Great video, the review is clear and to the point! I like the second pard of the video too, it looks like great fun Zwift - I can't wait to get started!!

very clear and concise information thanks - I now know which trainer to purchase after eating all those mince pies !

Excellent! Well done, learnt so much from your video!

I live in Wisconsin, USA where it gets very cold in the winter and snow is on the ground for months at a time. I find myself bundling up and riding in snow storms, cold rain and generally extreme weather because riding indoors just sucks! The ride is about adventure!

Great info but don’t forget to use a turbo trainer specific tyre! It won’t wear as quickly as your road tyre.

Budget pain cave... brilliant.

Thank you for the instructions. 3:22 it should be 30 km/h?

Hi! I bought a Tacx Santori but haven't been able to pair Zwift or Tacx App to the trainer. I'm following this video steps but when Zwift is searching for the Trainer it only pairs with powermeter and cadence but not with anything else, can you help me? Thanks!

Hi! Im thinking of buying this tacx to pair zwift with mi iPad. To do this, Bluetooth integrated with iPad should work right? Thanks! Great vid.

Thanks for the video, I'm going to buy one of those but I have heard that it has an issues with the heat, is it true?

Can you attach a separate speed sensor to these low end trainers to improve data accuracy?

Is that low framerate on swift because low performance of a laptop, or is it just a laggy program in general?

Hi, I liked the video. I want to make a query, buy the flow smart and I have serious problems to connect it to zwift, I have tried all the options that zwift gives you to connect it and nothing. Zwift gives you the option for Tacx rollers model Booster, Blue Matic, Blue Motion, Blue Twist . Which of these you chose to be able to connect your flow smart to zwift without the first connect and after 4 minutes or 5 minutes stop transmitting the roller, but it is still connected, is what I can not comprehend. I'm about to think that this smart flow roller came with some factory defect. Also when you put it taxc utility, sometimes it does not detect the roller despite being connected and with the green light. Some guidance please

Hello VELOGPS, I have been wondering on how can I find a seller that sells the "Tacx Flow" for 150 pounds. Thank you and god bless!

do they work with 700x23 wheels?

Can the Tacx Neo simulate resistance when riding solo versus riding within a large peloton (you are in the mid of it)? By the way, the music representasi how fun it is when using the trainer and riding in zwift.

Great review ... can I ask a newbie question please? How does compare to using a gym type bike? Ie is it really good for leg and cardio? I ask as I’m new and don’t have the length strength yet to go out and keep up on group rides? Sorry if the answer is obvious 😊

Does this work with 27.5” mountain bike tyres

Hi, I am planning to purchase Zwift software as an addition to TACX i-Vortex (T1960) trainers that I purchased 5 years ago. I asked at Zwift if Zwift software is fully compatible to i-Vortex ? This is their answer...."Unfortunately, the i-Vortex is not compatible with Zwift as it uses an encoded signal that we do not have access to. Only Tacx trainers using the universal ANT+ FE-C or universal Bluetooth standard are compatible with Zwift (meaning the later Vortex Smart)"Anyway, is still any chance „how to break the spell“ ? I mean if I purchase some speed sensor and get Vortex and Zwift communicate ??? I do have ANT+ so I thought there would be some chance… Or simply my Vortex has no chance to get connected to Zwift LJindrich

Mate please respond, got this exact trainer and i dont think. The fuse was in the plug, because when i plug it in absolutely nothing happens. What are your thoughts ?

Any advice for a reasonable cheap(ish) road bike to get started too?

Is it still worth to buy?

Does the Tacx flow are drived by the app for the resistance or you have to change the resistance manually ?

would this cheapest smart trainer work with any bog standard road bike with 700c wheels? sorry not a bike expert ;) i do zwift treadmill running quite a bit and this would be great in between running days to reduce the impact. cheers!!!

What is that song? It’s great for working out!

great video & information but at 3.22 should be 30 kmh, not 30 mph.

Damn that metric system. In Sweden you only need to go to 30 KM/H for calibrating. In Brittan 30 MP/H (48 km/H) 😂

Pedal to 30 miles per hour? If I could do that I would be on tour!!! :)

So you don’t need an ant+ dongle?

Will it fit on an MTB?

Can't see why anyone would recommend a 50W fan. 200W is more what you need. When you are cycling on the flat outside you are getting the benefit of a natural fan that consumes most of your power! Other than that, good video!

which one your recommend the Tacx Satori or Tacx Flow? Pls.

Do I need a power meter too?

Name music please?

If I can ask some advice: 1. I have a Tacx Bushido. It may break soon. All I want to do is spin on a Turbo using the gears as resistance. I don't need a monitor system. 2. I want a turbo which is compact to fold up like the Bushido. The Flux is huge. I have limited space. 3. I don't want to pay a monthly fee to use an app. My Garmin watch is fine. 4. I am a complete novice and only use the Turbo twice a week in the winter max. Which turbo do I buy?. My Bushido is perfect. I wish they would make more . Thanks

Great movie until the inevitable intrusive 'music' from around 6 minutes...
