    Looking for a non-magnetic TT, something quiet(er) with fluid in it. Taxx or Elite preferred if anyone is upgrading to a direct drive and wants to sell theirs.

    Are they any use for zwift etc is the resistance automatically controlled? I bought a tacx flux s the other day and straight out of the box it was binding up and scraping so it'll be going back. I've since done a bit of research and turns out they're a nuisance and completely unreliable which is a shame.

    That trainer is non smart so Zwift will be normal gear control for increases in watts etc. I haven't used Zwift but it's perfectly fine for TrainerRoad or any workout made through Garmin Connect or via TP IQ app.

    My power source is a Stages so non smart direct drive is perfect for me.

    no probs, its actully good to hear about options like the linked Elite direct drive trainer for €360 linked above- I hadnt realised that direct drives have now come in under the €500 mark.
