Now that the days are getting shorter, and the sun is raising later, my morning rides are starting in the dark, which I don’t like to much, so it is time to start looking for an indoor trainer considering that winter is not too far off here in the great white north.
Based upon what I found on the sight, the Kurk Kinetec - Road Machine is highly recommend. I found it locally for CND $480.00.
I have come across the Tacx Flow Trainer, which is selling for CDN $500.00, which seems to be a pretty good deal, as it comes with a pretty sweet computer, that includes power, heart rate, cadence, etc.
Now, the thing is I have a separate hart rate monitor and a wireless cateye which does give me my cadence, speed, time, etc. So the Tacx really only gives me the addition of power (plus it is all on one unit instead of two).
I can’t help but to feel that the Tacx is a better deal as it sells for US$425 vs US$330 for Kurk, in the States, but there is only a $20.00 difference in Canada.
What does everyone think? Which one should I go for?
Thanks,
David
