It is that time of year where my resolution is made to get fit in the new year.. I very soon will have a man cave so it is time to invest in a smart turbo for zwift etc. I have seen various 0% finance offers on wahoo kit, but having paid for the mancave, I'm keen to keep the monthly payments to a minimum.. Is anywhere offering 3yrs 0%? Thanks for your help..

Same advice as mr blobby.
I "needed" a winter commuter and managed to get a 28 month interest free credit card from sainsburys. Then just set a direct debit up monthly that would pay it off before the interest free ended.

Thanks, but I don't think I'll be able to get another 0% credit card, guess how I funded the mancave? 😉 I don't think you can get turbos on the cycle to work scheme? They are an excluded accessory unless you know better?

Do you need a trainer that expensive?
I've just bought a smart trainer for £200 and it's great.

Why don't you buy a cheaper trainer then see if you actually use it before spending loads! Nothing worse than unused expensive kit.

Officially yes, but I'm sure if you suggested it to your LBS they'd find a way to make it work.

Maybe he already has one?

I’ve been on Zwift since it began and would say a £200 trainer will get you 80% of the return.

The youtubers going on about one trainer or another are on the payroll.

I'll only be buying the kickr if I can finance it the way I suggest. It will cost less than the average gym membership on monthly payments.

If we were talking about a new bike, none of you would have made any comments like the ones above..

I've decided to invest in a means to get fit in foul weather rather than a new bike...

Anyone know of any 0% deals through wahoo stockists?

Thanks
