Hammer H2 vs Tacx Neo 2 - Buy now or wait?

The h2 does seem pretty good, I like that most people comment on it being robust. I do pick my current trainer up and move it outside.

I don’t currently use zwift much. But I would like to start doing a bit more on there, so I would put a bit of weight on that.

The really need to have a listen to a H2 to see what they sound like.

Trainer weather? I’m heading out the door to go riding in the Blue mountains in a short sleeve jersey. Heavenly.

Are you going to be able to get your hands on the Elite Suito? Looks promising. I don’t expect other brands to match it from a value standpoint (also I’m too impatient to wait untill eurobike). So all I’m waiting before pulling the trigger is for you or ray to put the Suito through its paces and find out how well it works :smiley:

Oh look at this big shot ordering fancy Nutella from Italy :wink:

I think the Suito doesn’t have to be revolutionary. If there aren’t any major issues it’s going to be a great option for a direct drive trainer that doesn’t completely break the bank.

DCrainmaker just tweeted about the Elite Direto:

I read somewhere that the ant+ range on the hammer was lacking (like dropouts at 3’) Anybody have the same issue? I found the h2 for a killer deal but my computer does not have Bluetooth so I will be using an ant+ stick.

I use this:

Trainerroad recommends this USB extension cord, and I got one and it works great. With it, I can put the Ant+ USB stick right under the bottom bracket, so great connectivity for my trainer + power meter.

Did the same, in fact I have two extension running to the trainer at the back along the floor mat (zwift & Trainerroad) , makes more sense to have ant+ sticks down there, closer to trainer, quarq and HRM above it…

I went for the fancier gold plated connectors, because my data’s worth it :wink:
