DC Rainmaker Full Review: [image] Tacx NEO 2T Smart Trainer In-Depth Review It’s been just over two months since Tacx announced their NEO 2T smart trainer, the latest in the line of high-end NEO trainers. You may remember back in my launch post, it wasn’t all sunshine and unicorns for th…

Hi, Neo 2T to TR via bluetooth on iphone. With Bluetooth HRM also connected to iphone. No other devices. I tested the 2T against my bikes PM by pairing the bikes PM with my Wahoo Bolt. I did one session of short repeats and one steady ride, the new 2T was consistently 4% lower than the bikes PM, as…

If you have a public TR account setting, sharing a related workout could be helpful. Short of that, some pictures of the zoomed in intervals of interest is the next best. Outside of that, it may be worth an email to support@trainerroad.com so they can dig into the hidden stuff we can’t access for …

These intervals are 15, 40, 70, 75 seconds. [Screenshot 2022-02-04 16.12.01] The ramp in is far too long. I’m not sure it’s a TR issue, likely a Neo 2T issue. Given my previous two Neo’s have been super responsive with TR.

The lag is much much greater than my previous two Neo’s they would take less than 3 seconds to ‘lock in.’ I will give power match a try.

I don’t have one but I’m interested in the neo 2t, so I looked at the other posts about it. Are you using big gears? Some users reported that the oscillation problem could be solved by using smaller gear. I would also expect the lag to be smaller with small gear.

I use 34T and middle of the cassette, the lag is more if I use the big ring but both are still much more than my previous Neo’s.

The 2T is crazy fast with changes. This might be the one you got specifically or something else is going on. Here’s a 30/30 with powermatch on. The power spikes are at most 5 seconds into the interval. Most around 3-4s. [image]

Possible cause… you’re ramping your cadence at the same time. I’ve noticed that if I anticipate the power change too much and spin up my cadence, it takes much longer for the Neo to bring up resistance. Power is a function of cadence, so spinning up right at the start of an interval messes up the tr…

It’s just not the same as my previous Neo’s, even with great cadence control going into the effort, the lag would be too great to ever be able to do 30/30’s, even 60’s would take too long to lock in. I had no trouble with 15/15’s on my previous Neo.

This is what 24s @ 460W look like on my 2T setup, when the countdown of the previous section reaches 00:02s you “hit the wall”, so right before the interval. However, in the corresponding power track, the target wattage is reached 2s into the interval, never later than 3s in my experience. This work…

I finally gave in and bought a Neo 2T,
Do I set up the trainer as a power meter on my garmin 530 or as a smart trainer when dual recording while on TrainerRoad?
