Hi everyone,
Apologies for the dumb question!
I have this road bike https://www.thebikelist.co.uk/giant/avail-1-w-2012.
Since the pandemic, I’ve mostly been using it on a basic turbo trainer, with a turbo tyre to keep the noise down as I live in a flat. It’s made me lazy about going outside, and I’d like to get a spare wheel for the turbo only. Im not sure what I need, if I got this basic wheel from decathlon https://www.decathlon.co.uk/p/triban-100-700-double-walled-rear-free-wheel/_/R-p-200635
and a new cassette https://www.wiggle.co.uk/shimano-tiagra-hg500-10-speed-cassette
are these the correct things that will work for me and minimise wear? I already have the tyre and inner tube, do I need anything else?
I don’t mind spending a bit of money to make sure it works and keeps my bike nice, but I don’t want to waste money needlessly.
Im quite confused so any advice for my specific situation would be really helpful.
Thanks for any advice.
