Indoor Trainer Mode

Hello,

I have a few questions about the "Indoor Trainer Mode" with the Tacx Neo 2T connected (paired) with the Garmin Edge 1030 v.9.00

First under Sensor details there are a few options like Gear Ratio (2.75) and wheel size.

What about the Gear Ratio? Is standard 2.75 or what should I use when I have 36-52 (Front) and 11-25 (Rear)?

Wheel size I know what it is and also Bike Weight, so no problem there ;-)

Then I wonder if it is possible to pair the Neo 2T as a powermeter so the FTP and other training stats is working on the 1030?

When it's paired as a Indoor Trainer non of that seems to work as it couldn't find the Neo 2T as a PowerMeter or CadanceMeter?

Thanks in advance, been trying to search the internet for answers and looked at GPLama at YouTube but noting about this :-(

I found out after a few hours of fideling that under "Trainer Settings" in the Tacx Utility App (at the bottom) there is a choice of telling the Neo 2 (2T) to send Speed / Cadence in ANT+. After you turn on that the Edge 1030 will find the Neo2 or 2T as Speed / Cadence and PowerMeter so you can see Cycling Dynamics, Left Power / Right Power and let the 1030 update FTP and record your training stats with Power and Heart Rate.

You need a Neo 2 or 2T with built in "Cycle Dynamics" sensors for Left / Right leg also you need 1030, 830 and 820 I think so it doesn't work with all Garmin Edge.

Hope this helps you out there how missed this ;-)

Hi there,

Were you able to enable the Cycling dynamics option on your edge device ?

I'm running the latest FW on my Edge 830 and my Neo 2T and I've tried to enable the ant + option on the Tacx utility app but I still can't enable this.

It's stuck on loading sensor settings for a few seconds but in the end it remains grey.

Also the trainer is paired as a power meter and not as an Indoor trainer.

BTW , what is Torque effect pedal smooth ?

Any ideas ?

Is there a solution for this? Same exact behavior when I just tried.

you have to be able to connect to Bluetooth for the cycle dynamics to work

I can't.

My friend with his Neo 2T and fw 0.0.37 works OK

yeah its weird i also have a fw .37 on my 2T and i am connected on Bluetooth and i am able to use the cycle dynamics. I tried connecting mine on Ant + and its a no go for me. I am alittle frustrated with this software issues with Tacx. The amount of money we paid for this machine tacx should be spot on as far as their software stuff....
