It was also important that I can mount a 28 "wheel. While it write many manufacturers that this is going, but I had to at Tacx that I later ordered a couple of weeks for my father, notice that my bike (and its ) can not be sufficiently fixed. The roller rotates through because they can not be pressed tightly.
But back to the elite:
The assembly is relatively simple, if you let yourself time and everything executes alone. However, this is not so easy when you want to test drive already.
Basically there is nothing exciting to write to the assembly. It's easy, sometimes it pinches a bit, but this is all not a flaw.
The setting for wheel sizes can be adjusted very easily and it really fits for every size. This is already a very big advantage.
At the first rehearsal I had yet mounted the knobby tires of my trekking bikes ... not recommended. The comparison with the same newly mounted special role coach tires is like night and day, and can only be recommended. On the one hand it is easy on the conventional tires, on the other hand it is much quieter.
The volume of the coach played for me does not matter, since I use the device only in the garage and therefore no bother. And since I have no direct comparison to other roles I abstain because of the voice.
The resistors can be adjusted using the hand lever. This is for me, however, is not important, because I set only one stage and the rest selected through the aisles.
The difference in height of rear to front I have bypassed with a simple piece of wood. But I do not really need an expensive part of the manufacturers.
The stability is sufficient for me. I do not go standing, only sprint when sitting and it works flawlessly.
The inputs and relaxation is very easy using the side lever. Since it can not do much wrong. The only drawback with this system is that when the quick release (he is incl.) 2 small pins that need to be properly positioned when clamping. This is solved in the Tacx better. But how many really spans one of the wheel and a?
To demonstrate the application in my case, here's my training intervals:
Every 2 days max. 30 minutes training, while it ranges from interval training to increase the revolutions or medium speed.
For hours to train on the device does not interest me honestly said. For me it is the perfect combination of sling trainer (I use on other days) and endurance.
Thus, for me the perfect machine and I will not easily give up !!!
