Joined: Jul 28, Messages: 26 Likes Received: 0. I'm looking at either the Fortius or the Computrainer. Based on what I read, I may be leaning toward the latter, but I'd love to hear your experience. Will post experiences tomorrow. I don't know If I can give you a definitive answer ref buy the Fortius over the Computrainer but I can tell you that having used other turbo trainers in previous years and having been bored rigid whilst using them I think the Fortius is a fantastic way to alleviate boredom whilst getting the training done.
I suspect the Computrainer might be just as good maybe its better but who knows but I haven't had the opportunity to try it.
See my post tomorrow. It'll be quite a long one. Fortius experience. Note: everything said here constitutes my experiences and opinions and not those of Tacx. I have not tried a Computrainer. I suspect both machines are good and that both will have their little foibles. I am a cyclist coming back to the sport from a low fitness base no sustained exercise for around 15 years but on and off exercise every couple of years—mostly rowing.
I am now 20 pounds overweight started at 30 pounds overweight but lost quite a bit in my first 6 weeks of rowing this year. A looming holiday plus a want to change myself plus an exercise related goal means that I have to get with the program and focus. The traffic is really bad too. The problem is I hate turbo trainers they are boring to use … very boring. So Cosmos or Fortius? The Cosmos seemed to me to be a Fortius without a PC connection. It was stand alone.
If I went to visit friends or went on holiday I could take it with me. The Fortius on the other hand needs a PC connection at all times and can connect to a steering unit. After posting messages here to which I got no answers and going to my LBS who answered some of the questions I asked I discovered that the Fortius can be upgraded with the Cosmos Head Unit to give it a stand alone capability.
It can also use the steering unit. The Cosmos can be upgraded with a Fortius multiplayer head unit to give it a PC VR and real world video capability and in fact can also use the steerer unit. Bear in mind that neither the Fortius nor the Cosmos will provide any sort of steering function when connected to the steerer if not first connected to a PC running the Fortius software.
I went for the Fortius as whilst standalone will prove useful ultimately. Initially I had no use for it and wanted the real life videos more. First point. The instructions IMHO are a bit useless. The diagrams are too small to make out where parts should be placed. In spite of this I managed to put it together within 45 mins taking it easy and whilst drinking coffee.
Attaching the machine to the bike is relatively straightforward. You connect the head unit and cadence sensor to the bike and then plug the cadence sensor and head unit to the break unit. The cadence sensor is attached to your LH chain stay with some small bungees easy to get on but quite difficult to take off. I found a lot of sites that had little bits of info about what this trainer could do in theory and what I needed to buy.
So I ended up buying my Fortius over the internet and also ordered some videos for the trainer. After a few days my trainer arrived in the post and this is where my fun started.
I spent some time going through the installation manual putting all the bits together. At least now you know now what it needs to look like when done. Next I needed to install the software. I popped in the disc that came with the trainer and ran the setup programs. Everything installed fine or so I thought.
I tried to startup the Tacx software and got an error message. Jan 13, FortiusAnt World map updated. May 20, Merge branch 'master' into -Implement-Bluetooth-Support. Dec 24, Rename Contributing. Added license files. Dec 16, Nov 11, May 10, View code. Where can I download TTS4.
How can I reinstall TTS 4? How can I move TTS4 from one computer to another computer? How can I run TTS4 directly without the launcher? My TTS4 gets stuck during startup! We do not endorse or support software piracy, you will need your pre-activated licenses in order to use the software.
