Hi All,
I'm wanting to upgrade my fluid trainer to an ergo to help me get through long threshold intervals.
I'm considering a Powerbeam Pro. I can get the ANT+ version with Joule GPS heart rate etc for $1000 AUD, either that or get a used Computrainer. I know the Computrainer is rock solid but it's more than a bit dated now. PerfPro seems to have sorted a lot of issues however.
What I have read is that Powerbeam can take a while to ramp up in ERG mode. Is this really an issue for most users?
Also, how reliable is the Powerbeam? I know saris have a good reputation for customer service but mailing back a trainer to the USA is going to be cost prohibitive, so it has to be reliable for me.
I'm not interested in the KICKR its price point is too high here ($1400 AUD)
Looking forward to getting some feedback.
Cheers,
Stu
