Currently looking at the Elite Drivo direct drive trainer, it's had a good write up by DC rainmaker £935 from wiggle

Does look good. Amazon were also selling NEO's for £880 earlier this week. I think they have gone up again but they do this every 3-4 weeks and as soon as they do someone posts on the FBzwift page so keep an eye there perhaps? Wahoo uk also had reconditioned kickrs for £650-750.

PS Bill/Bridgy, my ride today hasn't landed so you both well in front of me.
Might have to switch my PC on and launch BSim again.

Stage 5 sorry

Is stage 6 still a mystery? I cannot see it at all yet it is supposed to be available from today!

I wondered what happened to your ride. Could be lost forever, or may turn up in a day or two hopefully.

I may well try to join you, with the intention of also doing the handicap later on.

TDU stage 6 is on the 22 and stage 1 is on Tuesday.
That's why!

And you will be handicapped!

Hi all. Briefly joined last year when I had a Tacx Vortex. After returning the Vortex 3 times due to mechanical issues, I was refunded. Well I got a new trainer today, a Kickr!

I'm debating between Bkool or Zwift. When I had the Vortex, I had unfair advantage when going uphill but at a disadvantage when going downhill. Will I have the same issues with the Kickr?
