I'm talking sub £60 ebay jobs such as [url= http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Magnetic-Bike-Cycle-Turbo-Trainer-Folding-Indoor-Fitness-Handlebar-Adjuster-/131019559758?pt=UK_SportGoods_CyclAcces_RL&hash=item1e815fd34e ]this[/url]?

Any thoughts other than 'go outside' would be appreciated!

Bought something similar some years ago. Works perfectly. None of yer elastomer roller rubbish. Makes a lot of racket on a laminate floor, a lot less racket in the garage.
I look at the fancy ones every year, never bought one. The shitey one works perfectly.

That's the one I have, its quite noisey on bare floor boards. B&Q sell HD rubber matting for under washing machines for £8 which helps a lot.

I may just be fortunate but either its an acceptable noise level to use in doors with my partner on the other side of a thin door, or she is especially tolerant.

I have never used a more expensive turbo so have nothing to compare it to.

Good to know,

I figured the cheaper trainers would be noisier, I can live with that.
