I didn’t notice any vibration or loud humming noise to worry about. NOISE LEVEL: The Flux is a fairly quiet trainer at various speeds and resistance.It will work with most indoor training apps such as Zwift, TrainerRoad, Kinomap, The Sufferfest, etc. CONNECTIONS: The Flux is ANT+ FE-C and Smart Bluetooth compatible.CASSETTE COMPATIBILITY: Flux is compatible with various Shimano, SRAM 9 splines cassettes, and Campagnolo 4 splines cassettes.When using a long cage derailleur in the highest gear it’ll hit the leg. Adapters for other widths are available. A bike with a long cage derailleur won’t fit the FLUX as the maximum distance between the center of the cassette and the top of the FLUX’s leg is 200mm.

I have been using this unit for about two months now. However, the company was able to resolve the issue and shipped me another unit to test. That resulted in a number of defective units in the hands of customers and I was one of them. ![]() However, the company initially produced a number (800 units according to Tacx) of faulty units and quickly shipped to market.
