Computrainer USB Adapter. No longer available?!
Quote | Reply
I bought a couple Computrainer's about 6 months ago from a fellow cyclist. One works great, but the other has the older USB connection that doesn't work with my newer version of windows. I need the newer FTDI (version 7) USB adapter. Since Racermate charges $50 for these, I thought I'd buy a chinese version to see if it works, but it didn't. Finally I decided to buck up the $50 and get it through Racermate this morning. Doh! They no longer support the Computrainer and their website has some replacement parts, but no USB adapter.

Where can I get one of these? I currently have (2) computrainers but only 1 functional USB adapter.

Looks like this is the one on the site:

It looks like the older version of the computrainer adapter. Is that right?

You might try this:

Or this:

I've used the Byterunner one and it worked fine.

My computrainers use the USB adapter that goes to a 3.5 mm headphone jack and one of them just crapped out :-(

Anyone know where I can find a suitable replacement? I found a couple that look the same for between $15 and $35, of course the ones that say they are specifically for a computrainer are the most expensive.

Will any of these work? ---

Look at the $16 ones on Amazon. One has a comment that the chip is a counterfeit FTDI while the seller for the other listing tells you do check voltages and pin outs. Personally, I'd pay for the one that is known to work (BluMaxers).

Just a FYI for anyone interested.

I bought this 4 port Serial to USB cable from Amazon and it works (including Zwift).

We have 2 Computrainers, which is why I went for the multiport cable, I would assume their single port cables will work also.

Do you need the one that goes to a headphone jack? I bought the one below from bluemax49ers and it works fine. You can get the cable in different lengths.
