The 'Unofficial' Tacx Forum

Hi Dboy, T1925 is I think the upgrade pack that converts a regular Flow to an i-Flow. You don't need a front wheel stand but you may want to put the front wheel on a block to level the bike. There is an addon steering frame for the Tacx trainer but it's largely a waste of time. It's only of use in t...

The firmware is for the T1902 and T1942 head units only. GoldenCheetah do not provide it because it is copyright TacX. You need to extract it from TacX's software. Here's what GoldenCheetah says... Tacx Fortius trainers require a firmware file which is provided by Tacx BV. This file is a copyrighted...

To add another compatible strap, the Suunto DUAL strap which is dual old analogue and ANT compatible (but not ANT+ compatible!) works. On the back of the strap are two symbols for IND and ANT. Ie. it's DUAL compatible but not the two modern standards of ANT+ or Bluetooth. The DUAL strap came with th...

That's good if it is true. I was only asking whether you or someone you know has actually tested FortiusANT to confirm that it works. I see from p. 10 of the manual that there is a separate discussion on the model 1902 solid green Imagic head unit and use of a legacy USB protocol. Many years ago Ta...

The util to edit the video file location is called 'PatchTacx' btw. It's a Java app. I found it via http://balanse.info/rulletour/stages/ It's quite a cool stage race ran by some Norwegian riders. Some of the stages are RLV, some using the Tacx VR routes. There's a link in the text for RLV/PGMF file...

I hit the same issue on my Mac running VirtualBox and XP. 6.1 doesn't work at all as it no longer supports Direct3D. 6.0.20 does, which is what I'm using. I've not tried the later 6.0 releases. The error is due to not enough video RAM. It needs to be 256MB which is set under the VM's settings->Displ...

Coming back to this. I've not managed to find a direct replacement. I did however notice Tacx were selling replacement levers for €5/£5 for the newest models. eg. https://tacx.com/spare-parts/blue-matic/ So I took a punt. Postage is about a fiver too. Less than £10 total. Two days later a box with a...

Hello, has anyone managed to connect the Fortius to the Strava? If so, how is it done? Thank you! Not directly but if you go into the Fortius Analyser software you can export activities as .HRM files. Then use https://polarconverter.com and it will convert the .HRM to .TCX which you can upload to S...

I have used the Suunto, but as I recall it has half the channels as a standard ANT+ stick. When I tried to use it with a bike that had more than 4 ANT+ sensors and devices, it would constantly drop connections with some of them. It has been a while since this happened. I think that might be the lar...

It never occurred to me it'd still be analogue. Uncoded. :shock: *digs around in the drawers* I've just put a battery in a 25 year old Polar Accurex watch and it still works. Unfortunately the HRM strap seems to have perished. I remember XC MTB race startlines now where everybody else's HRM interfer...

I would not recommend the CYCPLUS ANT+ dongles. Up until February CYCPLUS were shipping buggy dongles that did not support continuous scanning and would frequently disconnect. I bought 2 of these dongles in March. There may be some suppliers still shipping the buggy version and it's impossible to te...

I accidentally stumbled upon a heart rate strap that was compatible with my i-magic 1904 head. The Suunto Dual HRM strap uses ANT (not ANT+) or IND (old gym equipment standard). I bought a Suunto M5 watch on eBay a week back for peanuts mostly as it came with a Suunto ANT+ USB Movestick but also the...

Not sure I'd trust that latvian site. It looks more like a scraper site. No, I've not stood on it but it's relatively new to me so who knows what the previous owner did. It does strike me as a bit of a silly design for something that requires a bit of force. I think I may have found a spare in the N...

I've managed to snap the green lever that lifts the brake unit roller onto the rear wheel of my i-Magic T1900. It seems to be shared between the Fortius/i-magic/Sirius just in different colours. I've had a google for a replacement spare part but no luck. Does anyone know if any of the levers from ne...

Hi 2 all I need to open my question again regarding installing TTS 2.0.2 from here on a Virtual Box with Win XP I'd tried the Virtual Box guide, but under installation it fail to install Microsoft Net update and not able to start up. Is it only me who has this issue? :paranoid: Hi Hansi - I'm havin...
