Hey everyone, I was lucky enough to win a new Halcyon trainer and have been putting it through a variety of workouts to test its functionality and compare it to my kicker. It really is SILENT! My fan and singing are the only things that my wife–bless her heart–can hear now. It is much easier …

I’ve got one too. Since my home office (where I put my trainer) is next to my daughter’s bedroom and I do most of my training while she’s asleep, I’m really happy with the silence. I have done the same thing with power calibration, and like you I don’t bother with power match because I can trust th…

Great points! I actually do not use the wheel weights because they did not add that much of a difference. I also like being able to just take the bike off and ride without swapping out wheels.

Which gears do you use for Erg mode. I’m on a 1x bike and running 42 x 12 and I’m less than impressed with the inertia (both sets of wheel weights are fitted) and “road feel” Maybe I’ve been spoilt by my KK Rock & Roll with the heavier flywheel. Would swapping my 42 for a 50 make any difference do y…

I prefer the 53/17 or 53/19 gear for erg mode. I find that is the smoothest gearing combo while in erg mode. During resistance mode 60% is a good setting for a variety of cadences. As far as the app, I connect it before each workout just to be sure the arms are the perfect distance apart from the w…

I’m running 50 x 16, I think? I got a cheap wheel to be my trainer wheel (so I’m not installing / removing weights) and a single speed ‘cassette’ that has 16 teeth, I think. I dunno about ‘road feel,’ as long as I have enough inertia that I don’t feel peaks and troughs in resistance it doesn’t matte…

I have a couple questions about the Halcyon. I already have a Stac zero trainer that I share with my roommate so I know i have the right setup, I’m just trying to figure out which model. Also, I don’t have a powermeter. Can you run the Halcyon in a setting besides ERG / SIM b(setting the magnets …

But the trainer skewer is so ugly! I won’t be caught dead with that on my bike outside.

Great questions. Hopefully these help: I use the Halcyon both in Erg and resistance mode without any issue. Like the erg mode where it simulates a hill up to a certain percentage, you also run into that with resistance mode but that is only on one end of the extreme and I have only hit it once, af…

Nothing really to add to @tribuddha post except I’ve been trying to align the power readings against my single sided Stages PM and it’s proving a challenge. I get it correct for one workout and then it’s out for the next. I suspect it might be something to with some varying leg imbalances I may have…

A few thoughts on the STAC Zero Halcyon

My trusty Elite trainer is starting to groan in its old age. Looking to possibly replace with a Stac Zero. Is it a hassle to switch between two wheel sizes? I’d like to easily be able to put my 650b bike and 700c bike on without too many adjustments.
