For various reasons my wife is looking to get a turbo trainer that she can use at home with her mountain bike. There seem to be quite a few out there and much to choose from at various price levels. A friend has an Elite trainer that he is pretty chuffed with but he only has a road bike. I suppose I am looking for a couple of things:
1. Experiences of others with turbo trainers and whether you are using a mountain bike with it?
2. Should we be considering getting a new, dedicated rear wheel for use on the TT, just a tyre that can be used on it, or not bother changing anything?
Appreciate comments and observations. I do understand that some may view TTs as the dullest of dull things in a dull universe but for various medical issues my wife struggles, especially in “winter weather” to do serious exercise outside hence looking at a TT as she does enjoy riding her bike. Although it may be a bit dull, she will be able to park it in front of the tv and spin away while watching mindless tat something interesting.
