I am keen to get Netathlon 2.0 and start to do some indoor training since I do not have enough time during the weekdays to ride outdoors.
I have read about the Fortius and Computrainer on the forums. It seems neither is perfect. Both have flaws and with both there seems to be very little effort invested into fixing the flaws.
Foritus Flaws (EU Model):
Cannot go faster than 40km/h (regardless of % gradiant)
Very choppy at low speeds
Some strange effects I do not understand regarding riding uphill at 10% or above where the speed goes down for no reason.
Computrainer Flaws
Boring and videos are not very exiting
Unit Overheats if riding 10% or higher for more than a few minutes at low cadence (need extra fan).
Others ???
Which model would you guys go with based on the technology of the trainer?
Which model works best with Netathlon for the VR functions and to help eliminate the boredom?
Anything else that should be considered?
