    Scrapheap Challenge - homebrew turbo trainer

    Just for fun while I’m confined I’ve been thinking about constructing my own trainer from scrap that I have in my shed and garage. I don’t really want to purchase anything, even online, as it would feel like breaking my self imposed rules. I’ve fitted SPDs to my wife’s exercise machine but I’d...

    Turbo Trainer and disc brakes

    Might be a daft question but does anyone know if you can use a disc brake bike on a turbo trainer? I bought a trainer about a year ago from Halfords, it's just a basic one, and set it up with an old mountain bike which was gathering dust in the shed, but couldn't seem to get on with it. If we do...

    Smart turbo trainer

    Hi all, wrong time of year I know, but my old trusted turbo trainer has died, so looking for a new one. Thought a smart ( preferably interactive ) one would be good as I have been using Zwift. If anyone has one for sale, or that they don’t use then I would be interested. Thanks

    Turbo trainer wheel

    Appreciate this may be better in the indoor training section but thought I'd give it a whirl... When is a turbo trainer tire done?

    Non-spikey flat pedals for turbo trainer.

    Any recommendations for some flat pedals that won't chew up running shoes. Just taken delivery of a Qubo Power Fluid TTand whilst I am happy to use it with a set of SPD's I'd rather use my running shoes that I wear on the treadmill so that I can swap between one and the other without hassle.

    Turbo Trainer. If I've got a power meter, do I need a Smart Trainer?

    Am looking to buy a turbo trainer and trying to work out if it's worthwhile forking out the extra for a smart trainer? I have a power meter on my bike which I believe is one way of "upgrading" as it were a basic trainer to more of a smart trainer level. What are the benefits of smart over basic?
