Bikes: Trek Speed Concept 9.9, 2011 Calfee Tetra Tandem

1. No concern with putting the Calfee on the trainer. Before doing it I touched base with Michael Moore at Calfee and he did not see a problem.

2. The trainer is very quiet.

3. I had a very early Computrainer that used a Nintendo game machine as the interface and he lasted something like 20 years. It quit working so I upgraded to the new model. I sent the old unit back to them and they were actually able to repair it, I sold it on ebay. I was able to use the original stand as it has not changed.

4. The interface with the Ergvideos is what makes it desirable and very realistic.

5. We will ride from 1 to 1 1/2 hours at a given session.

6 There are a couple of other units that will work with the Ergvideos.

Here is a quote from the Ergvideo website:

I was thinking of buying a cheap tandem for that but it would be nice not to spend money on it and have the same setup on the trainer.
Is the trainer pretty quiet? How did you decide on that trainer, I went to their web site and it costs $1629, anything cheaper that would be suitable for a tandem?

Found this one which is approved for tandem use:
