Hi Guys

Thinking about getting one of these Tacx I magic,what is the best real life dvds out there to get with this?it wil be used mostly to take the boredom out of training at home.

Thanks Barry

The recent ones are the best quality - if you want fast and flat, try Hell of the North (Paris Roubaix). If you want hills there are a couple of 2009 Majorca Tour ones (I and II). There are a couple of new ones just out - 2010 Etap (hard) and Schwarzwald (Average), although I haven't tried these

Thanks for the quick reply,hopefully should be recieving the I Magic next week sometime.Going to set it up with a spare bike.is it easy enough to set it all up?Is it just a matter of running the software on your pc and connecting the I magic via usb and off you go?

I have the Fortius, which was quite straightforward - a few nuts and bolts to put everything together, then yes, connect to the computer and set up the software

You might want to consider a trainer tyre if you don't have one, as normal tyres wear out quickly (and are particularly noisy, I understand). The tyre can be difficult to get on (very tight), although I managed to get one one when recovering a broken arm (with the aid of levers)

the trickiest part is setting up the software and check to see if your grapics card on your p.c. or lap top is fast enough.
if you run into any problems they have a fairly good help section on their website

Note you only really need a fast graphics card for the virtual reality; the videos will run on just about anything.
