Have started to think of getting a turbo trainer for my flat. Has to be cheap, like max £60, don't mind going second hand but having never had one am not too sure what to look for. It would be used with my mojo mainly which has a 2.1" crossmark on the rear, and possibly a small amount of use with my singlespeed.
So what would you recommend?
Thanks
no-one?
you'll definitely have to get a 2nd hand one for that money, but look at a Tacx. I have a satori which is nice and quiet in my flat.
Oh, and you can't run a nobbly tyre on them, you'll have to fit a slick. You'll destroy a knobbly tyre on the turbo and it'll make the most outrageous amount of noise you've ever heard.
i have a cycleops - it's great. proper turbo trainer makes it much quieter. now i can listen to the radio 🙂
If you are going to use your Singlespeed on it you will need a plain old magnetic one
You wont be able to change the resistance using a singlespeed + a progressive turbo (Wind or Fluid) and therefore it will be pretty useless as a training tool.
