The first few times I tried it, the app simply returned an error message saying “something went wrong”, but with no indication as to what that “something” might be.Īfter attempting it a few more times and not making any headway, I resorted to consulting Google.

TACX TRAINER REVIEW MILLER UPDATE
This app can also be used to update the trainer’s firmware, as required.Ĭalibrating the Tacx Flow Smart takes a bit of guesswork because the Tacx Training app doesn’t offer much guidance. It’s not possible to perform a spin-down calibration for the Flow Smart in Zwift, so you’ll need to use the Tacx Training app instead. The Flow Smart transmits power, speed and cadence data over both ANT+ and Bluetooth.Ĭonnecting to Zwift presented no issues, though I did have a few data dropouts when using ANT+ instead of Bluetooth. This is great if you don’t have a dedicated space (sometimes referred to as a “ pain cave”) to leave it set up. At just 8.49kg, it’s easy to carry and move around, too. Once you’ve finished your ride, the Flow Smart folds away for storage and is compact. The soft-compound rubber will wear more quickly and they’re likely to be more expensive to replace. However, if you have delicate road bike tyres designed for racing, it’s probably not a good idea to use those on a long-term basis. Simon Bromley / Immediate MediaĪs with any wheel-on trainer, you can opt for a turbo trainer-specific tyre, but a hard-compound or winter road bike tyre, pumped up to a high tyre pressure (Tacx recommends 6-8 bar / 87-116psi), will do a similarly good job in my experience.
It’s great to see a good quality front wheel riser block included, though in an age of road disc brakes, thru-axle adaptors would be handy too.
