Indoor Trainer Mode

Former Member
Former Member over 5 years ago

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 :-(

    SOLVED:

    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....
