I have been using my computrainer for probably 10+ years...and I decided to give the new smart trainers a try...so my Neo 2 showed up yesterday.
I'm hoping someone can dumb down the software side of things for me, since there seems to be 972 different applications to run smart trainers today...holy hell.
This may be a very elementary thing, but I could not figure out how this translates from Racermate software to one of the new ones.
A typical training session that I will do in Racermate is the 3D riding option...then the course I select is a flat 50 mile course. My resistance on the Computrainer gets harder if I select harder gears, and easier if I select easier gears. The MAIN thing for me, is that the course is flat and I select the difficulty by my change of gears...not ERG mode. For me, and this specific training session, this is what I need.
I tried Trainerroad, and I dont see how I can do this sort of course. TR seems to be straight up ERG mode.
It seems doable in Rouvy, by creating a course using Slope and setting the slope to zero degrees?
I'm need to check out Zwift still, the app kept crashing on my laptop...does anyone know if Zwift can do this?
I would prefer to duplicate the Racermate course and options...50 mile, flat, gear selected resistance and the ability to pre select how many laps I want to do.
I was so frustrated with what seemed to be a simple change over and finding this type of course I almost boxed up the Neo and setup my CT again...geez.
Thanks
Rod
