So I seem to have the worlds worst luck with turbo compatibility and zwift. Here’s what I need:
29er boost bolt through
12 speed Shimano
Apple TV compatible
Erg
Cheap!
Can be direct drive or on tyre, tyre is probably cheapest?

Please can anyone help, pretty please?

I'll start the bidding at a Kickr Snap, I think that ticks all those boxes. Not sure if you need to buy the Boost adapters desperately though, can't remember.

That said, the best turbo you can get is actually the one you can actually buy at the moment. They are still in high demand and sell out fast.

Edit: What's compatibility issues you've had with your old setup as it might be relevant to future setup....

Ive got a bkool that doesn’t work with Bluetooth for the erg, I bought a 4iiii hr strap which supposedly bridges ant+ to Bluetooth but bkool is a different ant+ for erg so don’t work. Plus I had fun getting boost fitting with bolt through

As long as it's the bkool with the issues (I vaguely remember reading it does have some) id sell that and put money towards another turbo.

I've had a Snap and now a Core and they have proven very easy to pair up etc. I use an el-cheapo ANT dongle, hrm and cadence sensor and they all get picked up absolutely fine.

I run Zwift on the PC but it works fine on my Android tablet too, again, all working fine with the turbo.

Not used Apple TV but many, many do with Wahoo turbos.

Careful of buying secondhand, both wahoo and other brands. Most manufacturers made a few lemons over the last couple of years and you need to street clear of them.

Wahoo does refurb units on its website too. No idea of stock.
