What Turbo Trainer

[Dead Edge]

Wow - thanks Nikalas - don't think I'll be going down the virtual reality route somehow! but certainly helps me narrow down the many many options. Tacx Sirius looks like a good option for me. Cheers

We have one of the bling Taxc ones. Thought it cost around the £600 mark but that could have been what the OH told me as opposed to what we payed Had it a couple of years now & it is a fantastic bit of kit. Its all linked up to the pc & you can do virtual time trails, races, ride bits of the Tour, Really clever. Impossible to have an easy session tho, as you get constant data on HR, wattage, etc & you always want to beat your virtual competitors

Silly money but if you can spare the cash it gets a 10/10 from me

I've got a cyclops mag; about £60-80 and does the job fine. It's stable, sturdy and easy to adjust.

If you do get a TT, think seriously about getting a spare rear wheel (any old cheapo thing will do) and cassette. Then you'll be able to run a proper turbo tyre. I've got the Conti turbo tyre, and it's well worth it; much, much quieter than a normal road tyre.
