Tacx 2240 set up advice

[kingrollo]

Right I've given up on spring - I am about to take the plunge and buy a tacx 2240 ......

What else do I need to buy ?

Some sort of dongle - any recommendations
I have a windows laptop and an andriod phone - do I need a tablet ?
Turbo tyre ? - I have recently put some pro 4 endurance on winter bike and don't want these knackered by the turbo !

It can talk Bluetooth Smart. So likely you can use with laptop and phone as is. Yep get a turbo tyre and stick on a cheap wheel and cassette combination.

I want to use zwift - don't I need a ant+ dongle and extension lead ?
