I am invested in Garmin ecosystem - my wife and I have Fenix watches, my kids have Forerunner and vivoactive; I have several HR straps, and Edge 1030 and speed and cadence sensors. I currently have a Tacx Flow Smart wheel-on turbo, and am about to press the button on wiggle and buy the Neo 2T. Just doing a quick sanity check. I have two bikes that will go on it - a Canyon Speedmax and a Ribble Sportive Racing R872. I will be using an Ultegra 11-28 cassette. The Flow Smart is great, but it keeps dying when I push hard on the Alpe du Zwift or ven top climbs, i.e. when I push my max watts on a sustained climb where the Zwift gradient is higher than the unit can handle. I think I'm starting to exceed what the Smart Flow can deliver. So I'm hoping the Neo 2T will allow me to sprint harder and get a more realistic and accurate climb experience. I'm also excited re. the left/right balance metric like I have seen on the Wattbike in my local gym (which is shut). Can you guys give me some pros and cons that you are seeing with this model? Are you happy with your purchase? Are there problems one should be aware of? Reviews are mixed - lots of positives, some complaints about the plastic unit rattling and ant+ connectivity being poor. The latter doesn't bother me - I think I can handle that within my setup, but I don't want to splunk out over a grand for something nice and quiet that creaks and groans. Oh, and my Tacx Flow Smart is 20+ months old and has seen somewhere in the region of 16,000-20,000 km and I expect the neo 2t to more than triple that. Cheers.
