Good morning everyone,
I have read a number of forum posts but i was hoping someone could help me with a couple of questions that i have as i think about my first turbo trainer. This is what i currently have:
An old road bike which is in reasonable working order. It has an old 10 speed tiagra groupset
A large space in the summer house which includes power and Wi-Fi. It also has bi-fold doors so at this time of the year cooling is not a challenge.
A large screen TV with HDMI output
An old Chromebook
This is what I would like:
A turbo trainer that i can operate Zwift on
A turbo trainer that simulates inclines, declines and possibly (although not mandatory) cobbles etc (unless that is all part of the resistance)
Quiet'ish although as its in the summer house i will not be waking anybody up if i am using it once children are in bed
I'm not sure on the terminology but if i can source one that i connect a cassette to rather than an actual wheel (i may not have explained that correctly)
Finally, given the fact the demand far outweighs the supply at the moment is there a specific model i should look for second hand
I'm sure most of these have been asked before but i need a solid sales pitch ;-) before i start looking around.
As always, thank you in advance for your help.
Thanks
Dan
