    If that’s what you mean …then – no.

    Yea thats what I meant 800 to computer with mini usd to large usb lead.I think I’ll have to buy a Garmin ant dongle!

     

    Of course it doesn’t have to be a Garmin ANT+ dongle, any ANT+ dongle will work. Dozens of sellers selling other branded ones on eBay. (I have an Adidas one for example)

    I am not aware of turbo
    I am not aware of turbo trainers with usb connection. Ant+ or Bluetooth is the norm. Which trainer do you have?
