Hi John,
I have a Minoura MagTurbo Trainer, with 7 settings H,L, 1 - 5. I believe it has the 500gm flywheel.
No exact match on the list in Isaac, so which one? MAG 500/850 or the MAG500l-r?
Also, will PowerPod communicate with TrainerRoad?
Thanks.

I didn't know we had so many Minoura trainers on the list!
I would choose the Mag 500/850, as it doesn't vary as wildly between the detailed alternatives. You can check this by "feel" with an outdoor ride at comparable level of effort.
If you buy an ANT+ dongle for your computer, you can use PP with TrainerRoad.

Hi John,
Happy to report that PP and TrainerRoad communicate via an ant+ stick.
Just one question though; with the bike on the trainer and the front wheel on a block, does it matter if the bike (and thus, the PP) is not perfectly level?
Thanks!
