Hi everyone! I'm wanting to get a turbo trainer as I dont have time to go out at the moment but i'm cycling to ireland at easter so i want to train at home! (and I will be using it after too) but Im not sure what to get! I want to spend 100 quid ish, 150 if i really have to, which is best? magnetic or wind? or rollers even? and there are so many variations and makes and price differences but I cant see any actual difference in spec!
I think i'm looking at these two... I just want the ride to be smooth and not jerky like a cheap exersize bike. Also do you need special tyres on your back wheel or will the semi slick road ones i have do (700x32c)?

I think you mean turbo trainer, a cross trainer is something else entirely.
