What is off: my fitness, outdoor left-crank 4iiii, or indoor Tacx Neo 2?

  • Great gear, but a bit lower in the “flywheel speed” world. This can sometimes make the pedaling feel “easier or harder”. But that is highly individual and part of the overall ERG mode gearing discussion. You can experiment with higher gearing to see how it feels and adjust if needed.
  • The main recommendation I have is that if you use ERG mode and the Ramp test, it is a good ideal to test in the same gearing you plan to use most of the time in training on the Neo.
  • This pic is a bit out of date. I have the two front blowers the same. But I now have another large blower at the rear instead of the 18" circular shown here. The blower fans just push so much more air than the circular ones.

  • This is my post with a summary of many Lasko fans for cost, size and flow (missing in some cases) so you can consider the other options.

  • Looking for cooling fan recommendations - #92 by mcneese.chad
    I’m also pulling air from the front window (whenever it is colder outside at least) to get fresh and cold air flow pulled from both front fans. I have them set for flow control to limit it in the coldest temps, but it sure is nice to have access to fresh air in an otherwise stale small room.
