Turbo Trainer. If I've got a power meter, do I need a Smart Trainer?

Wowzer. Is this “a thing” or your own crazy invention?
:thumbsup:
They are available to buy commercially, but it's not that difficult to make your own. I have for my Bkool, using wheelbarrow inner tubes as the resistance / return spring ... One day I'll try and remember to post pictures of it here. There is a good facebook group with all sorts of designs for rocker plates if you need inspiration

S’okay - I don’t think I need/want one, just thought it was a great piece of modding. :smile:

It is, makes a great difference to comfort for long turbo sessions

1.5-2hrs I don’t mind. For the 4-5hr sessions I do (rarely) I can definitely see the value. No plans to do those in the near future, but I may come back next year depending on my training plans.
