Hi.
The last few weeks I've been thinking of buying a turbo trainer to try and keep cycling when the cold wet winter evenings get the better of me.
I have a very large living room where I could use it and have already got a large pedestal type fan to keep me cool. I could well imagine that I would get bored pretty quickly of it ,if I was just stuck in the garage using it and thought if I had it in my house , I could at the least watch the TV, to pass the time away or even use zwift.
I've never used or entertained the idea of one these before so I thought I would ask here for some advice.
Are they noisy in use ,do I have to use a dedicated rear tyre for them. Also do they make a mess as in chain oil being flung off and splattering the carpet or walls.
Sorry for all the questions but are they easy and quick to attach my road bike to them.
Also whilst on this subject would rollers be better bet over a turbo trainer.
Thanks for reading and any answers given.
All the best,
Johnny
