I bought the trainer this winter to try and step up my triathlon game in the off season. Both me and wife wife used it on my carbon road bike and her carbon tri bike. We used a new Shimano 10 speed cassette on the trainer for both my Shimano set and her SRAM set, no issues with compatibility. I would suggest you use the same chain oil/wax to not have any cross contamination using differing lubrication. As for function. I tried to use the Trax Trainer software and the Garmin Connect Software through my watch (the Trax software does sync with garmin connect, but not for battery level or a couple of other daily measurements). Leaving both workouts on there gets all the data and it mostly doesn't allow excess milage, but I have seen it show up in a couple spots twice. They could improve on that. As for the Tacx software. The routes are good, but not as interactive as the peloton or other apps out there. Though I've climbed some pretty gnalry passes throughout the word now using it. I think that's the best part about the app, the climbing portions. It also keeps it less boring, but also really easy to over train if you're not careful. I might try interfacing it with some other software next winter but for now I'll use the nice clear roads through the summer and fall months.

This thing is great. Easy to set up and sync to your devices. Just make sure you get a second cassette to dedicate to training.

Trax Neo T2 Smart Trainer
Bought this last week, Came fast and is what I wanted. Thing is it didn’t come with the cassette as shown. Can’t use it without it. Hoping the store can help me with this.

There's no better trainer. Very smooth and accurate. Looking forward to upgrade to the motion plates. Only gripe is the provided skewer seems to be a little finicky, but I may have a defective one... The under lights make up for it!

Tacx¾ Neo 2t Smart Bike Trainer: The Ultimate Indoor Ride
Who needs the great outdoors when you have the Tacx¬Æ NEO 2T Smart Bike Trainer? Setup was so easy, even my cat tried to help. And by help, I mean she sat in the box and judged me. üê± Once I got it going, I was instantly transported to a world where hills are just a setting on my app and headwinds are a thing of the past. The ride is so smooth, I almost forgot I wasn't actually outside. Plus, it's quieter than a ninja tiptoeing through a library, so my neighbors have no idea I'm cycling at 5 AM. The best part? It's fully compatible with Zwift! Now I can race through virtual landscapes and climb the Alps without leaving my living room. My legs hate me, but my heart loves it. Five stars, two thumbs up, and a high-five from my cat. üê±üëç
