I really like the idea of tacx system with virtual riding and have also looked at the wahoo kinetic. i like the gizmos, I think I will more consistently ride if I had that to look forward to. Should I get a kurt kinetic and save some money and just watch videos while on trainer road or go for one of the other two. The money isnt really an issue as long as it is a good system I will use it.
I can't speak for the Wahoo, but I do love Trainer Road. I use it with my CycleOps Fluid 2 and sufferfest videos. You're talking about trainers that are a lot more than the fluid 2, but with Trainer Road and a few videos I'm not sure that I would go through the extra expense. Especially if you're just getting back into it.
