<\/a><\/p>\nAssembly<\/h2>\n
The instructions to assemble the PowerSync left me a bit puzzled but I managed to put it together without much fuss. I had the trainer up and running within 10 minutes of unboxing.<\/p>\n
<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\nTo attach your bike to the trainer, you need to use the supplied QR skewer. The PowerSync is designed for rear axle spacings of 120, 130, and 135mm. The PowerSync is compatible with 650b, 700c, 26″, and 27″ wheel sizes but not 29ers or 650c sizing. If all you have is a 29er, then you’ll have to go for another CycleOps trainer like the PowerBeam Pro which supports the larger wheel size.<\/p>\n
Features<\/h2>\n\n![\"ipad-tight.png\"](\"https:\/\/wp-media.bikehub.co.za\/production\/uploads\/2023\/02\/ccs-62657-0-89393800-1435151793-1.png\" "\\"\\"")
<\/a>\n<\/div>\nThe PowerSync stand is a familiar A-frame structure. A built-in PowerTap power meter sensor promises accuracy within 5%. The main unit is designed to communicate with devices through ANT+ or Bluetooth Smart (not both), so pick wisely.<\/p>\n
The neat thing about this electronic trainer is that the resistance can be controlled by software, allowing for the simulation of various route gradients or training programme intensities.<\/p>\n
The CycleOps VirtualTraining comes with pre-existing and user generated training programmes and routes (some with video of the road ahead). You can even compete against your friends and strangers. A number of Hubbers have already been using the VirtualTraining software. Read about their experiences here<\/a>.<\/p>\nThe CycleOps PowerSync retails for R11,595.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
