Sorry for the hijack, I was going to start a thread about turbos, but will ask on here. I am looking to get my 1st turbo, and don’t want to spend much. Is there much difference between the Elite Magtrainer Halfords are doing for £50 Minoura B60 Remote that Evans are doing for 90?
Both are mag, have remotes for changing resistance, and 600g flywheels. There are loads of positive reviews for the Minoura, mostly from bike mags so not exactly unbiased. User reviews mention some of the plastics are fragile. Can’t find much about the Elite, I think it has been discontinued, hence is so cheap?
Has anyone used either, or both? Or can anyone think of better for similar money? I’ve read that fluid is quieter than mag is quieter than air, but how loud are mag trainers at this end of the market?
I’m not a powerful rider and don’t race, just want something I can use indoors as I don’t like riding on cold, dark and wet lanes.
