Turbo Trainer

[Nibor]

Hi Guys in the market for a cheap turbo trainer to up my hours in the saddle North west as close to Accrington as possible please.

Does it have to be a turbo trainer, or would a dedicated exercise bike do?

Wife has an excercis bike mate at 6 foot I appear a bit tall for it

Halfords have some decent looking reductions, even better if a BC member

I have one, surplus to requirements.
It's an Elite, variable resistance via handlebar lever.
30 quid
I'm at BB12

Yes, they appear to be made for short people! Or people who think it is normal to pedal with their knees very bent throughout the pedal stroke ...

I am 6' 1" and I couldn't get the saddle on my exercise bike anywhere near high enough for me so I bolted 2 large pieces of timber under the saddle mounting assembly to get it 4 inches higher.

Is it a magnetic resistance one?
