"Cycling has always been my weekest
discipline but since using the CompuTrainer through the off
season last year I've been able to come off the bike in the top
2 in my AG at all this year's races. SpinScan has helped me
develop a more constant & balanced power output and I'm hoping I
can use this knowledge to curb my 'enthusiasm' during the early
stages of the Kona bike course." |

COMPUTRAINER UPGRADES
Special Ordering
Notes
Before proceeding with ANY upgrade shown
on this page it is recommended you check both the
System
Requirements page and the Model Notes page
to help determine which model you currently own -- and whether the
software you are ordering applies to your model.
Customers who are upgrading to
the 3D software (version 3.0) from 3D version 1.0 (which required a
3DFX Voodoo card), or from Version 2.0, called CompuTrainer 3DDX, will need
to purchase this upgrade. There are no update patches to version 3.0 available for
these earlier 3D versions.
Upgrade Definitions:
Upgrade is considered a new version or new starting number, i.e.,
Version 1.0, Version 2.0, etc. and will likely incur an upgrade charge.
Updates (also known as patches) are to improve an existing version,
i.e., Version 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, etc. and will likely be a free download found
on the software support page; i.e., 3D updates are found
here; Coaching
Software here;
and PC1 here; and
MultiRider here.
*All International Customers -
Please Note!
We have now added United States Postal Service (USPS) for
International Customers.
Using USPS will save you shipping costs on these smaller,
lightweight items.

New Road Types: Bike Trail and Cyclocross dirt road.
What to check before you download the Scenery Packs...
Do you actually own
CompuTrainer 3D version 3.0? The March 2006 (or later)
version is required to run these new scenery packs. To find
what version/build you have, click on the "About" button
in the Build or Load a Course Screen. If you have version 3.0,
but it is the 2004 version (or earlier), then you can download
the latest 3.0 version
here.
A few older versions of 3D software have the "swinging white
tube" in which case you will need to click
here to
purchase an upgrade of your version of 3.0. (FYI, If you don't
know what the "swinging white tube" is, you probably don't have
that version.) |
