Thanks for the review. I picked up one of these and it works well. Definitely a better Zwift experience than with my fluid trainer.

Bought this unit based on you review a year ago, and absolutely love this trainer! Started using it with Zwift last month and man this changed my experience! Love, love, love this inexpensive trainer with Zwift, makes my want to ride everyday.

Nice one! Enjoy the ride.

Bought this one after seeing this clip and doing a bit of researching on the web. Just finished my first ride and loving it. Had a Tacx Satori (dumb version) and really enjoyed Zwift but this really adds to the immersion and pain :P Never been a good climber so that will be fun to master with this one. Thanks for pointing out this gem Shane!

Picked this up for half price at the PerformanceBike sell off a week ago for the fiancé. If you are in US take a look, they had a couple at each of my local stores. Thanks again Shane, great vids, oldies but goodies! Happy days from California.

based on your review I ordered this and received it tonight. my first Zwift experience was difficult. The resistance just wasn't working. After an hour or so of fumbling around it turned out it was paired incorrectly to the pc. I had to pair the trainer to the FE-C option then I heard the resistance motor kick in. prior to that I was spinning out 50x34 120 rpm and showing 200 watts.... after pairing correctly it was spot on. This unit is fantastic for the price. I can't wait to dive deeper into Zwift. Indoor training is no longer boring, and I can tell I will push myself harder with this trainer. Thanks for taking the time to do this review, it was very helpful in my purchase decision.

awesome video Shane,you are so informative once again

COVID update; I’ve had one of these for 4 years, still working fine. Not as accurate as the $1k units, but I like the compact design and the convenience of a wheel on trainer. I use this with an iPad linked to a 40 inch tv, with an iPhone running the companion act. Full set up around $500. I do group rides, training programs, etc. but I don’t race. Has worked fine for all, resistance reflects the ride I am on, and does a reasonable job of replicating an outdoor ride. It does seem to slightly over estimate watts at the low end and slightly more underestimate watts at the higher end (anywhere above 300 w for me) compared to similar efforts outside. All in all has proven durable and a great value for the money

Just some information on the P1, P2 and P3 values for people who want to perform a manual calibration: 1. P1 refers to high slopes, P2 medium slopes, P3 flat 2. If the trainer brakes too much, increase the values; if it brakes too poorly, decrease the values So, if you feel the trainer is too heavy at 0%, gradient (Flats) increase P3 (I suggest you increase it a little, like 10-20 points, then try again; if it is not enough, increase it again) Remember at the end to select to "send the map to the trainer", so those values will work also for Zwift and TrainerRoad.

Owned this trainer now for 2 weeks..I must admit it's pretty nice for what I paid (365 dollars shipped) after about 40 min of riding, I would hear a small squeal. Touched the tire, and it was hot..I am going to make sure everything is aligned correctly. I had ZERO issues with bluetooth. Download the App, it provides the option between Ant or bluetooth. So if you dont go through the setup process in the app..all depending what the unit had when it left factory. Works great, just worried about durability. That squeal is questionable...but it's completely gone after I havent touched it in a week and left it unplugged. I might get a small fan and have it directed at the CPU, see if that helps.

hi, how are you getting on with the trainer? would you recommend?

@Shane Miller, I think your expertise in technology is a real boon to the community. I'd love to see you develop systems that can help us find the best cycle routes or other cyclists while out and about - above the limits of Garmin and Strava software.

I’ve loved having this trainer for the past 10 months. Recently I’ve had issues where the trainer locks into transmitting a set power no matter the input. My first thought was to attempt a firmware update since I haven’t done that yet and your recent Garmin video reminded me I should do that. I can’t seem to figure out how to do that with this unit. Wondering if you have done it on yours and if so how you may have done this. I will likely raise a ticket with Elite this week as well it’s happening intermittently and resolves itself after the unit shuts off. Thanks. I love your videos appreciate all the work you put into them.

Hi Shane. Great video, thanks for all the videos, very helpful. Looking at a smart trainer and not sure whether to go with this plus power meter (something under $1,000aud - pioneer, stages) or to ditch Power meter and just get a Kickr. I like the idea of direct drive and not having extra tyre wear but power meter could be useful outside although I prefer to just ride for fun outside and plan to use Zwift for intervals/structure sessions. I've just spent ages reading through every comment so pretty sure you haven't answered this yet, so hopefully not wasting time for you answering again. Thanks again for your videos and hopefully this isn't too old of a video to revive the comments!

Once again an informative and well presented clip. One question about smart trainers, if they are not hooked up to PC, do they just act as a regular trainer ? Manual control of resistance?

I'm currently torn between this one and the rampa. I read the qubo digital only goes upto 6% while rampa goes up to 10% you think one can compensate for the 6% with higher gearing for tougher Hill workouts?

Hi Shane, thanks for this review . Could I ask , if I got one of these, how is the resistance controlled when not using it online (zwift) as such.

I bought the Elite QUBO Digital Smart B+ cause I watched this video and found a great deal $350 usd + shipping, 2day $400 out the door. I was having a real issue and contacted support and no one could help me, my issue was the resistance was to strong and I could not get the watts and cadence up. I'd seen others that were having the opposite problem with it showing too much power, I wish that was my issue. Anyway the way I solved it was after starting you course and after you start peddling in the IOS app and I assume android app if they have one, scroll to the right to the actions pane, look for the resistance up and down arrows, for me clicked down a couple of times and went from like 60 watts to 120watts. I think my ftp will go from 60 to 120 as well after a retest. With the above setup I was using the ANT+ and that worked, how ever a week later I tested the bluetooth setup and had issue like others with the watts being super high. Thanks Shane for the Video.

chassdesk I had the same issue tonight. I noticed there were multiple options to pair with when connecting my pc to the trainer. The one that said Elite FE-C worked. Not sure why it showed up multiple times but that was my fix. Not sure how it will work on the iOS version.

How about out of Zwift? Does it work by pairing with your Edge 520 and following a workout configured within the head unit? Do you see any advantages / disadvantages? I assume that if it could pair with the Edge 520, then the head unit should be able to record data from the trainer, right?

HI. I use the Qubo Power Smart B+ Pack, which I think it has the the same Bluetooth/ANT module. I use it on Bluetooth with Android device with no problem.

I have the elite supercrono Magnet resistance, connected through ant+ but I noticed the speeds and distance between garmin and zwift is a bit off, any tips.

I've used one of these on Zwift for the past few years. Things to watch out for are ... 1. It needs internal maintenance. You need to grease the internal motor/magnet mechanism. Otherwise it dries out and ceases up. 2. As said in the review the power accuracy is pretty poor. So for accurate power you need sepate bike based power meter. 3. The resistance reaction time is very slow becuase it has to operate a motor to move the magnet. So forget thirty second intervals in ERG mode. It'll take that long to adjust the power. 4. Anyway, you shouldn't really be using ERG in Zwift ;)

what is max resistance when doing low cadence stuff (40-60rpm)

Very old video but you where talking about the BT connectivity. I just bought ELite Aleno and had to go to the Elite forum to find the anwser. You have to connect to Bluetooth trough the E training app and not in the Wifi of your phone or tablet as I first was doing.

Hey Shane, I bought one of these largely on the strength of this video and generally I love it. I'm not the most powerful rider so it's great for me, save for only one issue: bluetooth dropouts with the Zwift iPad app. I've watched all your videos to try and work out a solution, but to no avail. Just this morning I had 24 dropouts in a ten minute warm up. It seems ridiculous. I've got an ANT+ dongle coming in the post now which is my final throw of the dice before I contact Elite directly. Incidentally these dropouts do not affect my Wahoo Tickr HRM, only RPM and wattage readings from the trainer.

@gplama

7 жыл бұрын

Hmmm. 24 in 10 minutes is 24 more than you'd like to see i bet. :) Just to rule out transmission/signal strength, have you tried putting the iPad right next to the trainer? I know it's not that practical, but it'd be handy to troubleshoot that side of things and rule it in/out. I've found Bluetooth to be pretty good.... but.... there's a lot that can go wrong with the signals in the 2.4Ghz range.

I hadn't tried that directly, but i've just repeated that 10 minute warm up with the iPAD on the ground right next to the drive unit. Exactly the same, 24! The thing is that when I use the Elite app there are no BT dropouts as far as I can see. Incidentally, Wahoo Tickr HRM never drops out either, even in Zwift when my RPM plunges to zero. Perhaps the trainer doesn't play very nicely with Zwift over BT? The other day I switched the Wi-Fi router channel to 1 to try and improve matters. Nothing works, hence the purchase of the dongle. I like the iPAD setup on the handlebars, but this level of unreliability with Zwift is unsustainable, or at least, bloody annoying!

Hi Shane, I bought this trainer based on your recommendation a few months ago and have been loving it so far! However, I always seem to have a creaking noise on the Seat-stay or rear area (Too tight or too loose?). Now I'm worried about sprinting or actually getting off the saddle to push watts. Am I really going to snap my carbon bike? Or are they much tougher than I think on any trainer. Being able to swing the bike side to side on the road vs fixed rear wheel on the trainer with my body and momentum still rocking a locked-in bike has me worried. I'm one of those who only have one bike for everything . Otherwise I am considering buying a cheaper Single speed bike and utilize the ERG mode for sprint sessions. Thoughts??

Windows and Bluetooth Smart (and Zwift) don't play nicely direct.... at the moment. No speed and cadence sensor needed. zwift.com/hardware/ should have the info you're after.

Where can i find this mobile phone mount on 2:38?

I think it is a "Quad Lock", I also own it and bought it on Amazon.

Hey, is there a option to change the resistance manually with knobs or something. If I don't want the hassle of connecting to zwift and all?

Not on this trainer

Hi, question!? I have the Rotor 3D+ cranks (power meter built in the cranks) it uses ant+ to connect to my Garmin edge 1030 and displays my power. When indoors I also connect a speed sensor to my wheel and use my dumb trainer. I want to zwift but don’t want to pay top price for a smart trainer as I only train indoors during winter months. My question is can I zwift using a modern iPad and connect this turbo to to it with Bluetooth, also can I use my power meter still with its ant+ signal? I’m aware iPads don’t receive ant+ but is there a way around it with my Garmin unit and this turbo trainer?? Thank you 🤓⚡️

In theory, that'll work as you've described: Zwift to the Rotor cranks over BLE.

do you use trainer specific tyres when you're using tyre-on trainers?

I don't... but I mostly use direct drive trainers. They're advised if you're using a tyre-on trainer a lot.

cool.

My Elite QUBO Digital Smart B+ started to make weird noises if i go uphill slow. Like real disturbing noises. Like an angle grinder cutting thru plastic. Did you or anyone here experience this?
