Thanks also to James Gill whose list of unlock codes on the Unofficial Zwift User Manual helped us get this list going. Eric runs Zwift Insider in his spare time when he isn't on the bike or managing various business interests. He lives in Northern California with his beautiful wife, two kids and dog. Follow on Strava. Is there a new code for the Specialized Jersey? Am I missing something? I was in my workout pressed p and enter on my iPad keyboard but no promo prompt came up….
I believe so. Eric, this is getting out of date…. My bike has changed from road to mountain on level 10 Why has this happened and how can I get the road bike back?
Can we unlock kit using the iPad? How to do that? I use my iPad then plug it in to a tv screen. Thanks a lot! Hi there, could you please explain how did you manage to make the keyboard appear so that you can insert promocodes from iPad?
I entered the code for Freespeed and now everyone and me are in a weird fluro kit. How do I fix it? Hi, does anyone know what the code for the LD London Dynamo kit is.
I ride with them. If possible, how much I have to pay? Thank you. Best regards. Orlando Bernardo. Probably not. I installed zwift on another computer in the house not near my ATV4k zwift setup and used that computer to put in the codes and to create some custom workouts.
We use our club jerseys to recognize each other on rides and to look cohesive when riding in a pack so we are more visible and respected by drivers and so we just look soooooo cool. When will we be able to get our own team or club jerseys?
Succede qualcosa? Ciao no non succede niente ma se vuoi essere nelle classifiche di zwiftpower. Yesterday I saw a partner wearing a white jersey with a skull in his back. I would like to know how it can be obtained.
Good luck. You get it by having a female avatar and starting a ride. I would like to know if someone knows the code for this jersey kit of the Team dZi now Club 3R. Eric, there was a great looking Union Jack kit last year that was for some event. I have a controllable trainer so I am concentrating more on cadence than power during the workouts. The cadence font is so small and nested right under the power reading that it is hard to read, especially when really working hard. Perhaps moving it to the top left of the power arc and heart rate to the top right would make it all easier to read.
There is some open screen real estate In those places, especially if the power arc is just a tad smaller. Additionally, the app is super power hungry. Lastly, it loses sync about once per workout and I have to close and reopen the app. Again, I consider these minor but if they can be fixed, I would have no problem upping my rating to 5 stars.
I have used the app for a week now and I really like it. A lot of times I will use this app to run in place using my Apple Watch. The only problem I have seen is that occasionally the heart rate will not be accurate. I will stop and check my pulse it is fine. Basically what happens is that my heart rate will spike up to twice the actual heart beats. I have tried placing the watch up a little more on my arm when I run and I have also tightened it as much as I can stand and still has the same issue.
Is so, common sense would suggest they should have gone over it with a fine tooth comb, as the saying goes, to make sure there were zero issues.
Your review leaves the potential buyer with valid concerns about whether your unit is truly one off or not. And the proverbial issue of ease and speed of replacement with Tacx. Plus ca change…………. Still, I find it almost never matters. In the vast majority of cases, the products I as a reviewer get if early are almost universally worse than what consumers get.
Firmware matures, manufacturing matures, etc… That said, whatever happened here could have happened to anyone. Between bringing the trainer to a halt on one hand and causing power to bounce all over the place on the other. I bought one after my order for other trainers keep getting cancelled through lockdown. To my surprised it is quite abit quieter than the direto 1 it replaces. Tbh, from that review, it sounds flawless. Not bad for a product! Makes you wonder how Tacx is making such a hash of the Flux 2.
No thanks. Elite released an upgrade app last fall, and the Drivo 1 was slated to be the 2nd trainer to receive an update: link to dcrainmaker. FWIW, the comments on the Drivo 1 review are largely positive.
It seems only Drivo 2 users report issues. Maybe more Drivo 2s were sold. They were part of a presentation from two years ago, but they sent me over refreshed copies that were a bit cleaner than the originals. The working area of the Flux 2 and Flux 2. I wish I had them for other trainers. Tacx has always had them, and sometimes publishes variants to their site. I do actually remember you and GPL discussing this. Is it actually the rpm of the drive spindle what the cassette is mounted on as if it was in a c wheel and was rolling down a road?
This means slower reaction to changes up or down when compared to slower flywheel speed. That can be a range of gearing choices depending on many factors. The higher the speed, the easier it is to be accurate. This is slightly underwhelming — too bad. Are there any other mid-range-trainers supposed to get a successor in the foreseeable future? I still find it quite rediculous that you buy a quite expensive piece of equipment and you actually have to also have a subscription app with it to work.
I have bought a Bushido smart soon after it was released and the Tacx pc software, but that is not really supported anymore. And the apps any monthly subscription fee is very very expensive.
Yes any Garmin ant FCE will do the trick, but my edge is not written off yet. And my new fenix 6x Pro can not do FCE. Golden cheetah is the only one that eats gpx of old rides as far as I know. That one is ok though not the most user friendly. You will need to get the Campy cassette because the stock one is not compatible : T You can use and Campy cassette you have. But you must buy the freehub body I listed above, and then install that on the trainer, in order to fit your Campy cassette.
The T Even the support folks at Tacx are not sanguine about exactly which Campy free hub is needed. Great review. Now more importantly, where is your review of the new garmin Was your testing done with the latest firmware 1. TR graph looks like a non ERG mode work out would. Reading the Tacx Facebook group and Garmin forum others had experienced the same issue and suggested rolling back firmware which I have since done and this has seemed to resolve the issue.
Overall the whole purchase s and living with the Flux has been a very sour experience and when the time comes, it will be hard not to look to other brands. Very good. But I think is very expensive. I prefer Saris. I had a H3 and H2, the noise was normal for me. H2, is a little loud in high speed, but is not louder. Is very easy maintain a target power. And has a quick response. Greetings from Colombia. Thanks for the review, i own a Flux 2. Reading your review makes a lot of things clearer.
What you mentioned about the resistance fluctuating, i though was due to use of the companion app and the apple tv 4k. In other words, the scenario you descibred is not an isolated incident. I have the same resistance issues with zwift. It seemed to improve when I bought a wahoo cadence and used that instead of the virtual cadene coming from the Flux 2 2.
However, I have never experienced these problems with sufferfest or when controlling the trainer from my elemnt bolt dong a structured workout, only with zwift.
Thanks for this very informative post, and one that has I think steered me away from the Flux 2. All this aside, the big question and possible learning would appreciate your insights here are how compatible these direct drive trainers are for multiple riders. My wife and I share the same older wheel-on trainer that needs to be replaced.
The issues that I see here are our weight difference, and more importantly, the fact that my bike is disk braked wider than hers meaning that changing the bikes is not just a quick release skewer activity.
It looks like there are spacers required, or is that just for a thru-axle configuration? Then there is a calibration that is needed with each switch.
Am I thinking this is a bigger problem than it really is or should I stick with a wheel-on trainer since buying two direct drives might land me in ddep water with the wife looking for cycling exersize and not swimming? Peter My wife and I are faced with a not-too-dissimilar conundrum.
Seriously eyeing up the option of a full-blown training bike setup, rather than a direct-drive unit. The cost of dedicated training bikes still hurt. Unless you are getting one bike per member it looks to me like there is a headache in setup of ride position. I really value my bike setup for my physique and keeping my knees from hurting.
Then there is the saddle and getting one that works for both parties I just switched to ISM and have to say that they might have this solved IMO. With the direct drive trainers, the auto calibration capability of the Neo is so appealing, but the price paid for the Neo is crazy. From the sounds of some of the other trainers non-Tacx the ability to calibrate is fairly simple through Zwift, when they allow Zwift to do the calibration spin down.
It would be nice to have a Zwift option that prompts if you want to perform the calibration before you start the ride. That would help my wife whom tends not to be technically minded. Something I need to send Zwift as a suggestion. The whole mounting approach for these direct drive trainers feels like it is broken and in need of a standard. With the wheel on it was a simple clamp that worked well for all the bikes I know of.
A dedicated quick release like skewer that had all the adapters integrated? You would buy the skewer that is appropriate to your bikes and then it mounts to the trainer.
The through axel based bikes are the most difficult to accommodate on a quick switch but I have to think that this too could be solved. Or maybe I just need the first posting answered with a statement hat this is not actually a problem. Would recommend the kickr core over the flux 2. I have both and the kickr core with erg power smoothing and the multiple BLE connections helps. The Flux I had discarded due to the quality issues so was not as interested, but perhaps the Garmin takeover would resolve this issue.
I had put an order in for the Saris H3 on the basis of its metrics, accuracy, and apparent better quality. The H3 is compared to the Neo 2T making it a higher end unit.
Then came the bad news that they are backed up in orders and I would likely not see anything until December for delivery. With the bad news came a new factor for consideration. Apparently Garmin is going to announce a new or improved Flux 2 on October 10th. So I am now waiting to see what they announce and may be taking a chance on the Flux.
No company announces anything on a Saturday, let alone Garmin. The note from the Garmin site states that they are not available until early Flux 2 Smart: link to buy. It appears, for the Flux 2, that accuracy claim is now for 2.
Not sure if the 7. Any other differences I am not knowledgeable enough about. When I run TacX Utility to check for updates it offers to « upgrade » to 3. What do tou think of my picture in relation to the consistancy of the power as shown? I think it is wobbling too much. Given teh timeline tops out at w, my guess is these are pretty small, and thus pretty normal variances.
Been troubleshooting Tacx Flux S dropout issues for almost a year now. Garmin has been extremely cooperative if not always fast but the problems persist. The original Flux S power matches up great with the latest version Garmin Vector 3 pedals. But the dropouts make the Flux S useless for Zwift racing. Garmin sent a replacement Flux 2 that was broken possibly in transit.
They sent a 2nd one Flux 2. No fix. Returned it and waited a few months for new inventory. I recently received the 3rd, a brand new Flux 2. Garmin has been very cooperative and generous…. After sending Garmin FIT files for the same training session using 2 edge devices and comparing the new Flux 2 and Vector 3 Power Pedals, Garmin is now asking me to download the Tacx Training Desktop App and use that to run another simultaneous test.
Not sure if a refund is a possibility but will look in to it if necessary. The primary goal is a reliable, functional trainer.
Not an option. Privately selling a less than satisfactory trainer is unappealing. Is there anyway to know what version is being sold online? How can I know if the version is being sold? The changeover happened fall , and inventory for trainers globally has been such that especially this past spring, there was zero availability anywhere. Meaning, anything that somehow might have been leftover from pre-fall is long gone. Would a 12 speed mountain bike work on this trainer?
I have shimano microspline but could use a sunrace cassette that use hg driver? Ray, just a short question and polite request for confirmation. In the attached there is a photo. I have a stamp on the freehub, but do not see it on my QR ends. Production date is , and purchase date is Oct. Do I have Flux 2. For those in the Apple ecosystem, iOS 9.
Anything more recent will work fine. Quadlock offer a universal smartphone mount for handlebars that can be placed either on the stem or out in front.
We rate this a lot, but in this position the screen does appear relatively large in your field of vision. It's quite easy to pair devices with a phone and their small size means they are easy to carry with you. But perhaps the biggest limitation is that you will not be able to access the companion app while riding. Offering a whole raft of features that add to the game experience - including using powerups, selecting events and messaging other people - it would be a pity to do without.
Tablets are a useful option if you have limited space for your Zwifting set up and having a smartphone cluttering your handlebars doesn't appeal. For a compatible tablet, the device needs to be Android 7.
Helpfully, Zwift is fast and simple to boot up on appropriate tablets.
