But realistically, it’ll fall off if you pick up the whole trainer. ![]() When it comes to attaching to the unit, they use magnets to sorta stay on to the feet. Simply let the feet holders on the rails play footsie with the feet on the trainer: Next, grab the right rail (it’s marked RIGHT, and stick it on the right side (rider’s right side), with the arrow facing forward. Now, pop out the four rubber feet with your fingers: Here’s my original Tacx NEO (left), compared to the latest Tacx NEO 2T: Through the magic of accidental engineering (and saving costs by not changing things), all of these units share the same feet layout. Any NEO model in fact: The NEO (original), NEO 2, NEO 2 SE, or NEO 2T. First up, grab your Tacx NEO trainer, and flip it over. The only thing in this review rivaling the efficiency of the unboxing section will be the setup and installation section. The paper thing tells you how to connect them to your trainer, which, as you’ll see, takes you no more than 20 seconds. There are two rails one reach for each side of the trainer, plus a front wheel block that’s tweaked to allow forward/back movement. Further, does the cardboard insert count as part of the box, or in the box? Though, I suppose technically speaking there’s also two plastic bags. Inside the box are precisely three pieces of hardware, and one piece of paper. This will quite possibly be the most efficient unboxing to date. And of course, it makes you awesome!

This review is not sponsored (nor does any company get to preview anything I review), and I don’t take any advertiser money from any companies I review. Plus, a brief comparison to rocker plates in general.Īs usual, this unit is a media loaner, and it’ll go back to Garmin/Tacx shortly. ![]() In this relatively condensed review (for me anyway), I’ll take you through how the NEO Motion Plates work, and whether or not they make sense for you. From Zwift to TrainerRoad, sprints to steady-state rides, and everything in between. I’ve been using these now for about two months in most of my indoor trainer rides, and thus I’ve got a pretty good feel for what works well, and what falls short. But also, what type of indoor riding you plan to do. Now, like water bottle cages on rough roads – the devil is often in the details: In this case, the steep price. It’s as simple as it gets, yet still provides a small bit of movement which significantly changes the overall feel of riding indoors. There’s no electronics, no secondary applications or uses, no complex installation manual. You know what I like about this product? It’s two pieces of plastic that wiggle, and install in about 15-20 seconds.
