Best turbo trainer on a budget?

[Claudia]

I am looking at getting a turbo trainer as me getting out on my bike in London doesn't seem to be happening anytime soon...

Any suggestions?

don't really want to go over £100 ish...

Any idea if the tesco £60 Air Flow is worthwhile?

Apparently it's quite noisy...

There's an ELITE one in Halfords currently for £84. Elastogel roller which is generally quiet and doesn't seem to square tyres a great deal.

I went for the £99 option as you get the riser block and dvd . The dvd is totally useless but the riser block is worth having ( so I am told , not used it yet and hope to get out rather than using it )

Got the elite for xmas! Works well for me! I just watch a training video helps me not getting bored with it.

A few years back, I went for a Tacx after some web shopping I managed to get it at price that suits your budget.

The air ones are much noiser than the magnetic turbos. They are responsible for them originally being called turbos because they sound like a jet. I have been told the fluid turbos are even quieter but haven't used one - they are a bit pricey.
Enjoy your Elite - the worse the weather is outside the easier the turbo training gets.

The B'Twin 300 turbo seems to be winning budget categories all over, Cycling Active, Bike Radar etc...
