turbo trainer

Fed up of the weather already, plus want to get back into it after injury, so toying with using a Turbo. Just interested in the differences between the type where you use the wheel to turn a roller and the type where you remove the wheel and connect to a cassette fixed directly to the trainer...

Hi folks, I'm a recreational cyclist and was wanting a turbo trainer that I can use with Zwift etc. I've had a look at a load of trainers which range from £40 to £1000 I've done a little bit of research however I'm no expert, would it be cheaper to by a basic trainer and add a cadence & speed...

Hi all, Looking for some advice if possible please. I've decided to take the plunge with a smart trainer this winter, and have read that it's easier to have a spare rear wheel with a turbo-specific tyre fitted to avoid wear. So essentially I need to buy a spare wheel for my Specialized Allez...

Other than making sure a bike fits does the weight or components matter on a bike fitted to a turbo? Other than making sure the rear derailleur is 9,10 or 11 speed I assume the only thing better components will do is give a smother gear shift. Looking at a Wahoo kickR so wheels don't even...

I think I already (sadly) know the answer to this one, but am appealing to the masses in case anybody knows another way. After failing to get permission (from teh boss) to permanently have a turbo set up in the living room, my only real option is to put in in the bike storage area in the...

I recently had ACL reconstruction surgery and I'm not allowed to ride on the road for four months. I am however, am allowed to ride a stationary bike. To get my fix, I want to purchase a turbo trainer. This is something temporary I will have, for the four months so I don't want to spend a small...

Elite volare turbo with tyre and riser block collection from south derbyshire £40

Somewhere on my recent travels I have picked up a rather basic but very lightly used turbo trainer . Can't see a make under all the dust and cobwebs . 5 different levels of resistance controlled by a wheel thing . Have just tried both an MTB and a 700c road bike on it both ok . No riser or...

Haven't been on here for quite a while. Gave up cycling, just couldn't be bothered with it any more because each direction I cycle there's a hill (unless I take the bike on the car and drive somewhere). Trying to get back in to it. I have a bike where they have bolt/nut on the back wheel. Would...

Hi All, On a whim, I purchased a Turbo Trainer - many years ago. I used it once and didn't like it. [The fact that I'm a lazy fecker probably hasn't helped]. It has been sitting in my garage unused for the last 10 years . . . . . . . and I know it ain't going to get used - even if I keep it...

I've got several Bromptons and potentially an n+1 arriving soon.... I have purchased a cheapy turbo trainer, but am stalled a bit at how to make one of them fit the other.... I can dedicate a modified machine to it (mods must be removable though) I was thinking something to drop the axles down...

I have some vision team 30 wheels, which are on my good bike, it spends most of its time on the turbo trainer at the minute 2-3 Times a week so not done a great deal of mileage outdoors (maybe 1000km) and only been ridden in the wet twice and washed with a hose twice, is it possible that the...

Hi Guys in the market for a cheap turbo trainer to up my hours in the saddle North west as close to Accrington as possible please.

I know it's the wrong time of year for people to part with their turbos... However looking for a tacx vortex or similar so I can Zwift my life away and feel the hills. Watching a few on eBay but conscious that sometimes people sell them because they are worn out.

Morning all, HNY & all that jazz! Quick (!) question, I want to put my commuter on the turbo – Problem is during winter I run CX tyres (my winter commute takes me along tracks, summer its road based). I can’t be bothered changing tyres each time I want to put the bike on the TT. So I’m...

Never thought I'd see the day TBH, but it's definitely a case of need not want :cry: So if anyone has one gathering dust that they'd gladly swap for a few shekels then please give me a shout. Happy to collect within a reasonable distance of Bolton, Lancashire :okay:

After a turbo trainer, cheap please.

Without it being connected to mains power ? Only reason i ask is as i've signed up to our clubs winter training schedule & every other wednedsay we are setting up in a local village hall & doing sessions i think using cadence to start , won't have the laptop etc to adjust resistance etc , is...

So im looking for a cheap turbo trainer and wonder if anyone has any experience or views with the below? Not getting much chance at all to get out on the bike due to work or weather on my days off, any advice would be really appreciated! Cheers...

Apologies if this should be in the turbo trainer thread, but looking at it feel this is more of a beginners spot. Please move if req'd In a moment of madness it was decided that we ( a small local charity) would do a fund raiser using "exercise bikes" It seemed to me to be a better idea to buy...

I have an Elite Mag trainer and it was always fine last winter no slipping. Now when I use it between resistance 4-5 the tyre slips. I have tried different pressures. It has some small crack around it. Should I just purchase a new one, this was bought from Halfords for £8. Should this tyre...

@postman this is the trainer I was referring to, it is a Velo Pro 7 speed, roller type with magnets £20 (postman gets first refusal) I can deliver within a reasonable distance of HX3 or post at cost.

I bought a turbo trainer a couple of years back and used it only a dozen or so times (too boring). Recently after a ride out I noticed a 'rumbling' from my back wheel, after stripping the bearings down one side (non drive side) cup, cone and bearings were very badly damaged and the cassette side...

Evening all, Having got myself to a point where I'm happy with my cycling fitness and strength, the wife announces we are expecting a baby. Naturally we're over the moon, but in the back of my mind is the nagging fear that my beloved cycling hobby could take a turn for the worst. So in...

The missus wants to have a bash on a turbo trainer. It is going to be used in the house so will ideally need to be quietish so I think this means fluid or mag. Given the current craze towards BKOOL type stuff i was wondering if anyone in the North Manchester area wants to get rid of their...
