Just curious, does the trainer record miles, speed and cadence through apps or do you still need external sensors? From reading up it seems like resistance is controlled/adjusted from apps but it seems like I still need cadence meter at least ?
FYI, you will only get accurate miles if you're using some type of simulation software, so Zwift Rouvy, Bkool, etc. otherwise you could knock the resistance down to nothing, roll a big gear, and hold 40mph with zero effort. This holds true for any trainer.
