Tacx Sirius Turbo Trainer

[jowwy]

During the long, cold, wet winter months i have been training indoors on my old reebok exercise bike. But its starting to get creeky, old and worn out now.

So i am looking for options for a turbo trainer and the tacx sirius caught my eye - anybody else got one and what are they like?

this is the one SIRIUS

That's what I've got. It works well, is smooth and it's easy to take the bike on and off. Downsides are: it's a pain if you want to use different sized wheels e.g. MTB and Road bike because you have to add/remove a pair of spacer plates. The resistence lever on mine has a bit of a hair trigger and if you want to fit a Tacx trainer tyre (not suitable for non-turbo use) on your wheel, hire the local strongman to do it (and buy a pair of ear defenders).

OT I broke a tyre lever for the first time a few nights back, removing one
