Are they better than the new shimano ones featured in Amey's link doe?

Nice one, thank you for that time to unbox mine

Similar reasons here, I have Tacx Rollers and they're so loud I've managed to wake the babies up from the other side of patio doors. Needed something a lot quieter and the direct drive really helps achieve that.
@scs sounds pretty strong resistance, please tell me it's even possible to do 100w at 90-100rpm?

Ordered a Kura myself based partly on your recommendation, should be here tomorrow with any luck. Tacx can go suck a whole bag of dicks imo now.

With the intent of providing a warning to others, my tacx flux now slips above 120w when on the downstroke with the pedal, this started after I took a brief break from pedalling at the end of an hour training session and came with a nice little burning smell.
Had another go since and was under the impression it might be ok for about 5 minutes but no such joy, slips and smells. This is the second one to have a problem in two weeks so probably best steering clear of the Flux for a while.
Was proper enjoying the nightly training session as well, got to find a suitable replacement as soon as possible.

My tacx flux stopped transmitting a power reading during a zwift session last week, required a reboot for it to start working again.
Now when i turn it on it seems to require some time/restarting before it'll transmit anything, despite there being a Bluetooth connection present.
May end up with a new ticket to tacx and taking your route myself.

I'm with everyone else, the di2 box is ugly and just horribly poor design which needs to be shoved into some orriface somewhere and the bar end design is the appropriate next step.
Those pro vibe handlebars are just narrower in the drops which is why the flare out again, surely most if not all bars are hollow, so all those that take di2 internally at the hoods are already compatible ?

What a beaut!
Easily one of the nicest looking bikes out there.

Gutted for you, I was scrolling down hoping this update had the fully built photo.
So close!
Sod's law isn't it really.

Replacement tacx flux arrived today.
The thing is as good as silent, can only hear chainset sounds and my panting. Able to do a zwift tempo session whilst my 3 month old slept in same room 2 metres away. Highly recommend if noise is one of your strong concerns.

Well it looks like I was more than a little naive with my last response.
Sigma sent me a flux which has clearly been opened and used before which makes a grinding flywheel noise constantly. Very sour purchase, time to fill in a returns request. Luckily took photos of the box as it arrived and the noise it's making is far from desirable.

Wankers... did find myself on the chain reaction website but felt like I'd be in better hands with sigma sport.
That Facebook group you linked seems to suggest that replacements are quite swift outside of the Christmas period so I'm sure you'll hear soon.

Ouch! Put the order in an hour ago, I had seen the video but put it down to early models.
Sounds like I'm going to have to hope for the best now.
Were you not refunded outright for the fault?

I think I've decided to go for a Tacx Flux... silence is a virtue in this house of newborn babies, from which I rarely get to leave for a bike ride and I can't justify the neo one bit. Trouble is that the RRP is 699 and noone has it on sale despite it being the season for sales. i suppose waiting until the ground freezes mid winter to buy an indoor trainer is not the smartest move but does anybody know of somewhere I can pick this up cheaper?

What's the route/total distance look like? May be able to join you on this, heading down from old street.

Very impressive, I had to settle for some regents laps and as much as that tail wind would have been enjoyable I know I would have bailed at the station rather than face it head on! And fixed to boot? Mega strong.

Sorry, but I will also have to bail Hoke :(
Been sick all day and still have too much to do for baby's first Christmas.
Good luck on festive 500!

Noted. Excited about this 3hrs of tail wind

Very up for joining you on this Hoke, had been planning to do Cambs return sometim over the Christmas period

You beauty!

Desperately awaiting this and for it to be compatible with 6870. Hate the current junction boxes

Fantastic update.
Would be pretty handy if there were any forensic crime scene analysts on the forum about now able to offer support for your findings. Eagerly awaiting further updates.

Such a nice bike, not in my size so have forwarded it onto some mates. glws

Hahaha
Walking through the area yesterday, it looked to me like they had done a pretty damn good job of cleaning up and some side streets were without power.
