I own some Kreitler Dynolytes, but I am thinking about getting a resistance trainer to build power on. What I want is realistic road feel with easy set-up and minimal noise (Kurt, Cycleops), but with somekind of electronic feedback- preferably with power (Cateye, Elite, Tacx Flow) and with possibility for download to training software/computer interface/virtual reality (Tacx i-Magic/Computrainer).
Looking over the old threads, most folks are happy with their Kurt Kinetics (simple, solid- does its job well- $$$) and Computrainers (every bell and whistle imaginable, complex?, $$$$$).
How do the other trainers compare- specifically interested in Tacx- seems to offer much of what computrainer does in modular system with less $$$. Also expect Cycleops will be coming out with electronic interface with accuisition of Powertap- any word on this?
Thanks- appreciate the input!
