Trainer compatibility

Hi all

I’ve recently purchased the below item from amazon and am wondering what apps will work with the device?

Whilst I do get a fair bit of information - cadence, calories burnt etc it would be useful if I could get virtual power if possible?

Very unlikely that this broadcasts over any wireless protocol, let alone has a known power curve for virtual power. We might be able to actually say for sure if you provide a link or at least the model name though...

EDIT: I'm not certain that this isn't an attempted wind-up, so let's see.

This is the link to the trainer:

Try this, you may need to invest in a few rolled up newspapers.

That can't connect to anything, so you can't use any apps with it. Still not certain this isn't a wind-up...

Not a wind up!

What drew me too the trainer was the fact that you can use it to do your arms as well as your legs. I’m not going for the pure cyclist look and want to develop a balanced workout plan covering both upper and lower body.

That will do neither.

I see where you are coming from now

add these

and pump it

That looks like a piece of junk.

Might be ok to ward off DVTs on the elderly though.

Yes it will! Some pictures of a nice lady on the internet prove it...

Would a pair of garmin vectors solve the problem? Would I need power in both sides or would one surfice?

cougie

Save the Garmin cash and just wave your arms and legs in the air. That'll be as effective and lots cheaper.

3 out of 10 for effort, could do better.
