i have no probs with .0.0.34, but want to ask, is Simulation mode used in TR, or is it only relevant for Zwift, Tacx App Riding, is it more or less the road feel thing?
I kind of gave up on my 2T power accuracy and never upgraded to 0.0.36 from 0.0.34
Does anyone know if they addressed power inaccuracy issues? I know they don’t mention it in the patch note but then again, on a 1% accuracy claimed unit, I understand why they wouldn’t.
nothing negative like positive has changed on my Neo 2, the power inaccuray himself i have under control with new TR Powermatch via Vector 3 in TR Win10 App
I raised a support ticket with Garmin/Tacx regarding this as my 2T was consistently reading 4% lower than my OG Neo as compared with my Vector 3 pedals. I supplied them with stacks of evidence including .fit files of the discrepancy. They offered to replace my perfectly functioning pedals!!!
LOL. Yeah and Garmin told me 20 watt difference between my pedals and my trainer @ 300 watts is normal due to drivetrain loss. Yeah f*cking right.
I tested out my 4iiii versus Tacx Neo 2T again yesterday with 0.0.36 and no change. Still unacceptably off. $1300 for a trainer only to use my $700 cranks as the power reference. What a sweet deal…
I just read up some studies at it looks like 5% drive train loss is typical.
Taking into account +/-1 accuracy of the 4iii and +/-1 accuracy of the Tacx that brings us to a possible range of 3%-7% difference (assuming 5% drive train loss) or a 9-21 watts difference meaning the Tacx Neo 2T may very well be within spec.
Furthermore, I have a powertap hub, 2x favero dual pedals and a Neo 2T of which I have run my own experiments and have similar numbers.
no my neo wasn’t reading high. if you look around enough you’ll realize that it’s not just me either. please don’t keep defending broken products so we can get what we paid for.
I never said the 2T was perfect, but I did clearly demonstrate that it’s feasibly within factory spec of +/- 1 % accuracy when you take into account drivetrain loss (5%), possible +/- 2% difference of factory specs and possible L/R leg power imbalances (easily 2+%).
The fact your prior Neo and Neo2 were in 1% agreement with the pedal/crank based power meters means one of them is inaccurate.
I will stop arguing with you since I have my experiences with multiple power meters and trainers while you have your on paper theories and repeating what I read online a zillion times and already familiar fact of drive train loss which doesn’t explain the power inaccuracy of 2T.
Best of luck. For others who have 2T inaccuracy issues, you are not alone. It is real.
