Customer Questions & Answers for
Tacx Flow Computer Ergo Turbo Trainer

Consider the circumstances. Optimum physical conditions and good materials are extremely important. Talent cannot be denied. Inspiration and concentration lead to flow - the perception of everything being effortless, exceeding your own expectations. With the CycleForce Flow, Tacx announces the start of a new generation of ergotrainers. This trainer is the result of knowledge and inspiration, combined with innovation. Heart rate, power, speed and pedalling frequency are measured and visualised on the modern display on the Flow computer. These data provide an important instrument for targeting and improving physical fitness, efficiently - resulting in optimum performance. During development much attention focused on the information that appears on the display. The brake indicator, for example, shows brake performance in graphic form. A histogram shows the slope, enabling the cyclist to view the settings at a glance. Moreover, you can select the training information you want to display. Another point of interest is the simple operation. By setting the power or slope resistance, you can adjust your program while training, to suit your own needs. You can even calibrate the brake to ensure accurate power measurements at all times. Flow comes with a matching-colour Skyliner front wheel support, which corrects the position of the bike ensuring a natural cycling posture.

Question
Are the supply voltage &/or frequency configurable?
Free shipping to Canada sounds good... but will the trainer actually work with 110V 60Hz supply? The Tacx website suggests I'd need the T1684... http://www.tacx.com/producten.php?language=EN&ttop=Flow&lvlMain=16&lvlSub=56&lvlSubSub=79

I HAVE A POLAR HR MONITOR T31 CODED WHY CAN I NOT USE THAT?

answer 1
I have found from experience that some products that say they won't work with the coded T31 actually will. I guess it depends on the frequency the belt uses. You could give it a try before buying a non coded one.

edwin
answer 2
The trainer doesn't use a code so you need a uncoded transmitter for the trainer to recognise the belt.

answer 1
The Flow will take 700cc roadie wheels, btu the extra bulk of the tyres might be the only issue. there is adjustment in the roller, but I think it might come down to how knobbly the tyres are.

My garmin one didn't (the one that came with my forerunner) so I bought a polar one instead that works fine with it. Guess it depends on your type of heartrate moitor type.

Garmin use ANT technology which is not compatible with this trainer. You will need to use a non coded HR belt such as the Polar T31 belt.
