#GARMIN TACX FLUX S SMART TRAINER INSTALL#

If you need a cassette plier, the Feedback Sports cassette plier and Cassette Wrench are one of my favorite and easy to use. You can purchase an 11-speed Shimano Ultegra cassette for about $65 but if you are still on a 10-speed cassette then you can save a few dollars and get a 10-speed Shimano Ultegra cassette for about $50. A Campagnolo is compatible but you will need to get an adapter. The Flux is compatible with 8-11 speed Shimano and SRAM.

The legs are simple to install and took me a few minutes to do.Īlso, you need to provide your own cassette and install it. When you take the Flux S out of the box, you will find the trainer, power cord, manuals, and all the tools you need to put the legs together.

The Flux II will also cost you $150 more than the Flux S The Flux II offers a little more power, heavier flywheel, better accuracy, more slope support, and Tacx is including the 142mm & 148mm adapters with the Flux II. Tacx also introduced the Tacx Flux II before they updated the original Flux with the Flux S. APP COMPATIBILITY: The Flux S works with Zwift and TrainerRoad in Smart Bluetooth and ANT+ FEC.METRICS: Transmits power, speed, and cadence.CONNECTIONS: ANT+ FE-C compatible, Bluetooth, and Bluetooth FTMS.As to the compatibility with Campagnolo, an adapter is required. CASSETTE COMPATIBILITY: Shimano 9/10/11 speed, SRAM & Campagnolo 9/10/11 speed.BIKE COMPATIBILITY: 130 mm, MTB 135 mm.In this review, I will walk you through the Flux S and my findings and hope to help you with your purchase decision. I put it through some Zwift racing, and ERG mode training. Tacx sent me the Flux S for this review and I have been using it for the past couple of weeks. Tacx updated the Flux S last September with better internals and redesigned to improve power measurement, support for long cage derailleurs, and made it quieter than the original Flux.
