🚴 Garmin Tacx Flow Smart Trainer for Enhanced SEO Review

Well, I liked the trainer at first. have used it successfully with the Tacx and Zwift app and started indoor training. About a week after purchasing the device (10-15 hours of use), the noise became very loud and annoying every time the device simulated driving uphill. It was much more than tire noise, it was a defective unit. I returned it to Garmin under warranty but since I didn't want to spend the $200 (deposit) to ship it right away I have to wait for them to receive my unit, fix it and…

I'm not a cyclist so I used to have a dumb Elite Qubo Fluid+ trainer, I used it with Zwift by putting a speed and cadence sensor on my route connected have 7.5 fx. I didn't care about the "virtual" uphill effect, which just made my avatar slower when I cycled faster. FTP with speed and cadence sensors just didn't register what I was able to. Finally found something within my budget that gives me the "feel" of the hills in Zwift and I love it so much. I know the strength difference is 5-10% but…

I love this product and it was my best pre-quarantine purchase. But for some reason it keeps disconnecting from my Zwift app. Seems like bluetooth is disabled or something because I've tried my phone, tablet and laptop and it continues. Too bad because otherwise it's amazing. Update: The connection problem was not an accident. It only got worse, not only with Zwift but also with the Tacx app. After several calls to Garmin/Tacx I was sent a replacement. Another problem arose on the first day and

Simply touching the case or anything other than crisp white gloves can cause the motor to start rubbing and make all sorts of annoying noises while running. This plastic element also protrudes significantly from the device and is easy for someone to trip over or step on. Lifting a unit to move it can cause it to be…

The Smart Bike is easy to assemble and fun once it's set up. However, the design is such that cash on delivery may cause it to shift upon arrival. This creates a lot of noise. However, the customer service was great. They immediately sent me a replacement part. It came with the same problem, although I already knew how to fix it. You must also obtain the correct type of bus for the system. I wasn't aware of that when I bought it. I have a mountain bike and had to track a slick tire to calibrate

Long-term test: Buy another machine Latest update. Since reporting the issue, I've received several messages from Zwift users. They finally said that the Bluetooth connection on Garmin devices does not work reliably. On their advice, I bought an ANT+ receiver for $20. It worked in three sessions. I have now asked the seller for a refund. In a few weeks of using this trainer, I've noticed that Garmin trainers have a known connection issue. There are dozens of news lines talking about…
