I've been after one for a while and can't find a secondhand one for the right price. Originally I was afetr a magnetic one but found one of [url= http://www.bikesandprams.co.uk/product.php?xProd=892 ]THESE[/url]. I've not come across fan ones before... do you think they're any good or is it likely to be rubbish?

Noisy but cheap. Go for it.

I have a TACX fan one. It's very very loud, but it does the job of what I want it for. I couldn't spend too much time on it due to the volume but then I couldn't anyway due to the boredom. The secret to turbo trainers in my opinion is short hard sessions.
Not a clue on if that one would be ok or not, but the TACX I got was slightly cheaper and is a good sturdy base.

It's on ebay at the moemnt for about 40 whihc I think may be a little steep. Got my eye on some others in the locality so will wait and see what's happening with those first.
