  1. I've had a TACX Excel trainer for about 5 years now. A year or so ago the heart rate function died;
    a couple of days ago the cadence function died. I'm wondering 1. if other folks have had similar
    experiences 2. whether or not it's possible to get a replacement computer unit (at a decent price)
    without chasing to the ends of the earth and 3. whether there are other comparable alternatives.

    Thanks in advance.

    I have a 20 year old pair of rollers -- and they are still going strong after a few bearing changes
    (standard size bought at bearing store). I broke an end-cap five or so years ago, and the people at
    Tacx sent me one from Holland free of charge. I would send them an e-mail and see what they can do
    for you -- or try the USA importer, Ochsner Int. Try tacx.nlframeset.cfm. --
