[QUOTE="Boysground, post: 7196499, member: 610"] Mine is an Elite Qubo Smart B, did a quick search and it seems to be unavailable so I wonder if yours is a replacement model. I paid about £300 a couple of years ago. It works well I just clip the bike in and go, I only use it with Zwift which I have on my ipad. The elite transmits with bluetooth, it and zwift also connect with my speed, cadence and heart rate sensors first time. With a smart trainer you dont have to use the sensors but I think you get better readings if you use a heart rate, they are not very expensive. I have had issues with zwift making me slower than I thought I should be, I think its a combination of it taking time to assess my ability, and me perhaps choosing the wrong routes. A friend of mine suggested calibrating the trainer, but this cant be done without a power meter with mine. I am just used to how I seem to be riding on zwift and leave it at that. I think with the tacx trainers there is an easier way of setting the power. When I first had it this really bothered me but I dont take any notice now. Spend some money on a cheap fan you will get very hot and trainers dont do tyres any good. You can get specific ones, and some people just run a trainer tyre or old tyre on a different rear wheel. Ive not done this yet. Bg [/QUOTE]
