Possibly looking to purchase one at Rei with the 20% off. I know it is quite expensive still but with working from home now I am planning to do longer endurance style rides. I short I will get a bunch of time in the saddle. I already have a Saris H3.

I ordered one using the REI 20% off coupon. It said they are back ordered, but hopefully won’t take too long. Looking forward to trying it.
