Hello
I started riding the bike less than 2 months ago after more than a decade of not even owning a bike. Got myself a nice boardman and enjoyed very much a few rides over the weekend.
Now it's been more than 2 weeks since I last touched my bike because:
- it's gotten cold, windy, and rainy
- it's getting dark earlier so rides after work are a no-go
I have decided to get a turbo trainer, done my research, and decided to go with a Wahoo Kickr Core. I live in a small flat and will use the turbo in the living room so my main priorities are noise level and dimensions. The Kickr seems to be the best option out there given my budget.
Now, I am a complete newbie and don't know my way around the bike so here's a few questions:
- what cassette should I buy? Can you share a link maybe? I have boardman adv8.8 (sora equipped)
- is the kickr easy to set up, even by someone with nearly zero bike knowledge?
Last resource would be to buy it and bring it to my local bike shop (or even buy it via evans) and ask them to mount the cassette and set it up.
Anything else I should consider?
Thanks
