a regular question coming up is what's the cheapest smart trainer to that i can
get to use Zwift on. while i've answered that in my blog post about the link qubo
digital smart plus hang on our core it's the link below to my blog post on the
trainer itself
I thought tonight I put the mayor and the kicker aside and jump on the the
elite cubo digital smart b+
it's a tough one there's about 78 different trainers they might but all
the link below and i put in the description what this trailer actually
is but it's the cheapest market you can buy
i'm going to use this tonight for the aussie hopped a ride which is the
biggest community-led right on swift run you through the experience of that this
will be my first but right on the London course will be able to keep up with the
trying to perform will be too noisy
what's it all about so good half an hour ago I just set it up now
it's very easy to set up it is training isn't a direct-drive it's tire on
all right
the cam mechanism is super strong
so it's just crunchy by hand and the weight of you on the saddle will push
back on the roller and as long as your tire pressures up around 95 to 100
depending on your white it should be good to go
and for such a small roller there's a lot of inertia one thing the cheaper
trainers don't have is inertia
they'll come to a dead stop straight away once you start pedaling if you have
a look at this I'm just turning this by hand
that's not bad
yeah
that's actually a really good spin down time for a tire on trainer but there is
a bit of white in the flywheel there so it does keep things ticking over
I want you on top of the gear it keeps it taking over and give the systems of
inertia
I'll get killed up we'll get warmed up we're going for a role with the crew and
see this L cheaper smart trying to hold up in a bunch
el cheapo and it's good way
ok
for you
good morning
more comfortable on the pump they arrive
I'm himself right lead for the HDR today we'll be riding on lift awesome new
london course we'll start with a brief warm-up from the starting area and ride
out to the mostly black glassy course we will allow the bunch to form on the way
out to the course sir please keep to one now
- what's up
yeah
they gave Tom Curren the camera
ok
a bit like having a kitchen mile step
behind you
good about 12 have been working on it
commitment feel the resistance changes
and that's what it's all about
in addition on the kippah really good really really good
keeping on the pedal strike real or feel like it
so I've got a couple thousand dollars on the train sitting there I still like
this one this this works for the price
I'm a big fan of this from
pop get running
yeah
android done for the night but this little unit was more than sufficient for
what I needed for that ride and gave you the ups and downs two things are
bringing up though the pic if you have no power made of the power accuracy of
the queue boat is a little sooner
it can be out a bit certain power zones and it was reading a little under to
calibrate it takes a lot of work and a parameter and the second one is I can't
get bluetooth to work I've talked to the team at elite about this and I said when
you plot when you first plug it in the first connection made to it becomes
other blue to the land
that's the one that uses are plugged in trying to find a viable way to if I
can't get bluetooth working on this thing so it's only working for any also
going to a firmware update or something or have a chat to the team about that
and see if they can get me an answer but I think of things under four hundred
dollars Australian I think the recommended retailers around 650 there
we get into resistance kicking it again up a small hill about 650 Australian
that's a lot of money for something that may be a little flaky and power rating
but if you can get one around 400 under 400 and you have a power meter
this is an absolute must buy look what this unit is for me it's a brilliant
solution for a smart resistance unit if you've got a power meter already you get
ratings from that you're using a standard trainer
you can hear it kicking a little bit him up a small hill this should be a
no-brainer by around four adults if you can find it for that much so there's
your answer
what the cheaper smart tried to get on swift this would be it does it work well
absolutely
is there compromise that yes there is
as I said the power ratings can be able to laugh though he can calibrate them if
you've got the time and the bluetooth for me is not working
I'm sure it will work in all the units so not quite sure if anyone else has got
one of these in blue - it's working let me know
so there we go that's the cheapest
that's the answer you're late cubo digital smart be plus i think i got that
right again i'll link below
so there we go there is my take on this little unit
I don't mind it for the price for what it does and the nurse that it gives you
like it
yeah I really do I came up with some more hills
thanks for watching see you tomorrow
