@Thomas15 I have Wahoo Blue Speed and Cadence sensors on many of my bikes, and prefer that for cadence vs the iNride estimation. I don't do much "climbing", so don't get to "Super Tuck" much. One thing I hate about Half Smart and climbing, no matter how much I spin, or don't, my speed is regulated by Zwift, again as an estimate. I honestly think with added resistance, I could get more speed climbing.

I recently had a physical therapy based bike fit, that included time on a wheel off trainer. A Tacx Neo2. I really liked it, and it felt a lot different than I expected. Which is why I think I could power through. So I see value in the true Smart Trainer. I also am cheap. So a mere $350 or so gets me the Kurt Kinetic Smart Control head, so I could just swap that for my fluid head. But going wheel off does seem more efficient.

So yes. After being terrified after a cardiology visit, I became religious with HRM usage. I nearly panicked recently as. Y 5 year old Wahoo Tickr started dropping out. So I ordered the Tickr X as a replacement. And I have started looking at Heart Rate Variability. But that's outside the scope of this topic...
