If it is then a Garmin 500 with a speed cadence sensor might be just what you want, although IMHO the upcharge for the 510 is worth it for the better screen and auto upload features.
Looks like the TICRK is ANT+ as well as the cadence and speed sensor, so that is a good option. I know distance is not really a measure of effort on a trainer, but I like logging distance. Makes me feel more accomplished.
All I know is I feel like I am starting off all over again since I haven't rode in months and know I won't outside again for more months living in Ohio.
