The trainer has very little speed inertia because of such high resistance and little or no freewheel effect. Very good workmanship, but would only recommend for strong riders with threshold power near 300 watts or more. The fluid unit is huge and even has wind resistance blades on the other side. Compared to a PowerTap G3 the Computrainer tested was 5-10% too low! Although the Computrainer claims to be accurate there are doubts. But if you want to ride in multi-rider mode with other PowerCurve devices you may want to calibrate your CT with the PowerCurve sensor. Obviously a Computrainer already measures watts. Then set to program 5 (press Reset button from calibration mode) and re-calibrated in PowerCurve Software. It comes with 8 levels measured in percentage and this curve is the 7th level indicated as 7%.įirst calibrate to 2.5 on the Computrainer. For the power curve, the turbo fan has been REMOVED as the magnetic resistance is plenty strong.
It is a very quiet trainer when the turbo fan is removed. This is no press on force adjustment as a spring is used to apply pressure between the tire and the trainer.
Not much plastic on these trainers! The watts indicated on the head unit are not precise at all but with a PowerCurve, it will be quite accurate. These came out in the late 80s and are still available used. It comes with 8 levels measured in percentage and this curve is the 5th level indicated as 4%.Ī robust trainer where an attachment for the front fork. Level 5 is really marked "4" on the dial"Ī robust trainer where an attachment for the front fork. The levels are marked L, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, H. Level 3 is really marked "2" on the dial"Īn older generation of the Trackstand - a stronger power curve than the latest generation. NOTE that calibration is done at level 3.Īn older generation of the Trackstand - a stronger power curve than the latest generation. Level 5 of this trainer can be used for low RPM workouts or if level 3 is too weak. The power curve is a weak for powerful riders. It looks solid and reasonably well built for an entry level trainer. The Power curve is a bit weak and not recommended for very strong riders.Īn inexpensive magnetic trainer that was sold at CostCo in Canada from a Taiwanese company. It will be fine for occasional workouts or if you train with headphones. Inexpensive wind trainer, that is noisy at high speed. For heavy or strong riders with threshold watts at 300 or above, a trainer with a more challenging power curve is recommended.
The power curve is a bit easy and level 3 is the choice for use with the PowerCurve Sensor. Sturdy, and has three levels of resistance. But who coasts on an indoor trainer? Built sturdy without being too bulky.

The only drawback is that it could have a larger free wheel to give it more inertia. The power curve is very realistic giving a nice road like feel. If you have a different trainer and access to a power meter (like a PowerTap) we would like to hear from you! Trainer Model New trainers are added on a regular basis. These are the cycling trainers currently supported by the PowerCurve Sensor and the power curves for each trainer.
