So my trusty CycleOps Mag trainer finally bit the dust..... 5 years of 160+ hours/year later..... Its a sad day for sure. However... its new toy time!!!
I live in an older flat in London and do 100% of my training indoors. I generally ride early mornings before the shop keeper below opens up so not an issue now but if I move to a flat with a family below I dont want to keep people up. I'm strongly considering the Taxc Neo based off of the sound (or lack of). It looks like I could have one for £964 (plus cassette) off amazon. However, I could easily pull the trigger on a Wahoo Kickr for nearly the same cost. I value quality very high and as I do 100% of my training indoors (and a fair amount of it) need this thing to last a long time. Would a Kickr and some good rubber mats do the trick to keep the noise and vibration to the same level as the Neo? The price of the Neo (finding similar price on a few sites) seems much lower than the price offered in the states so too good to be true?
Any strong reasons to pull one way or another? They both seem to get high reviews and people like both...... anyone had both/or access to both and really prefer one over another?
Thanks!!!!!
