  • Apologies in advance, more noob advice needed please.

    A mate very kindly gave me an elite crono fluid elastogel trainer which seems to do the job fine but is very basic. I'd like to make it more interactive so I'm looking into what sensors and apps would work. It's described as being compatible with third party software platforms such as Zwift if I use a ant+ speed/cadence sensor but I'm totally baffled by what I should go for and how it connects to the trainer.

    This is the Elite ant+ sensor but reading the Q&A Wiggle are saying this isn't compatible. Looking at higher end Elite trainers you can install a magnet in the roller and stick the sensor to the trainer but you cannot do that on mine.

    Given I have a Wahoo Elemnt bolt for GPS would it be better to use there speed/cadence/HR sensors for the turbo trainer and can that then connect to programs like TR or Zwift?

    I did back scroll on here for a while but got lost with all the acronyms, cheers.

  • Yep – I used to have this trainer and had it working with Zwift and TR.

    You just need an ant+ USB dongle to read your speed/cadence/HR sensors – your existing Wahoo ones will be fine no need to purchase new sensors.

  • Perfect cheers. I don't actually have any Wahoo sensors but I'm assuming they're the ones to go for with the Bolt?

    Any recommendations for the USB dongle?
