Major noise issues straight out of the box

Date: 31 August 2010

Pros: software excellent, good support, highly motivational

Cons: Expensive, bad noise, house shaking resonance, i don't have it now

Not sure. When it was received one metal frame rod was so scraped that the metal was gound down and melted for about a centimeter. This didn't pose a problem however so I assembled the unit.

Basically, I got it for simulating hill climbs for indoor training. When the load goes on for climbing the noise from the motor is intolerable - it resonates through the entire building and is very disturbing. I made a YouTube video of it and as a result tacx hae shipped it back from France (where I live) to the UK for inspection. At this moment I'm not confident that the machine will do the job.

The softwre versions are tricky to figure out and at first the "on line license for multiplayer" didn't work. Re-installation on another machine did the job. Perhaps by the winter I'll have a working system - but for the amount of money spent this is not an ideal situation.

I spoke with a racer this weekend at a cyclosportive - he came 9th overall - and he has the version just below this one and says it shakes his entire house which is made of wood - he is going to have to move it into the basement this winter. My hopes at this moment are not great as I don't have that option. It was a big investement and may have been a big mistake - but we'll see what comes back from tacx first and hopefully I can append this review.
