    Tacx T1680 Flow

    Any cyclist with a bit of experience knows that top performance requires more than a weekly training routine. Consider the circumstances. Optimum physical conditions and good materials are extremely important. Talent cannot be denied. Inspiration and concentration lead to flow - the perception of everything being effortless, exceeding your own expectations. With the CycleForce Flow, Tacx announces the start of a new generation of ergotrainers. This trainer is the result of knowledge and inspiration, combined with innovation. Heart rate, power, speed and pedalling frequency are measured and visualised on the modern display on the Flow computer. These data provide an important instrument for targeting and improving physical fitness, efficiently - resulting in optimum performance. During development much attention focused on the information that appears on the display. The brake indicator, for example, shows brake performance in graphic form. A histogram shows the slope, enabling the cyclist to view the settings at a glance. Moreover, you can select the training information you want to display. Another point of interest is the simple operation. By setting the power or slope resistance, you can adjust your program while training, to suit your own needs. You can even calibrate the brake to ensure accurate power measurements at all times. Flow comes with a matching-colour Skyliner front wheel support, which corrects the position of the bike ensuring a natural cycling posture.

Choosing your Turbo Trainer
Many modern turbo trainers look the same - so how do you know which is best for you? Well you need to work out how much to spend. The cheapest we'd recommend would be around £100 - these are standard machines which have decent flywheels, any cheaper and they will rattle and vibrate.

As for features, well if you want to see how you get on - it might be best to go for a cheap one, and if you get hooked upgrade at a later date. If noise is a real problem (i.e. you live in a flat) you'll need to spend some cash on it to get a better model.

If you have the money, you could try a computer setup where you can race others over the internet, even race friends! Good luck!
