I've got a turbo indoors but looking to get a more fluid less noisy one, but what is better between a roller or a turbo?

Personally I would buy a roller system as they are much more smooth (lower wear rate) and mimic the road sensation closely.

If you apply the rear brake while riding a turbo/ mag/ fluid trainer the roller keeps spinning and will burn your tyre.
