What computer for turbo trainer?

I got me a turbo trainer 😀

I got me a bike to go on turbo trainer 😀

I got me a speedo so it aint pointless…….But the sender dont reach to the back wheel, what do you use. and whats the works best?

Move the head unit to the top tube – job done.

I'm not interested in speedo on the turbo so I bodged a £10 Halfords wired jobbie to work as a cadence meter

I use a cateye strida, cos the sensor id designed for the rear wheel and it has cadence as well 😉

Get a cable one for the rear wheel and then get a cadence one for the crank arm with a heart rate monitor. I have 3 computers on mine.

One showing heartrate, one showing cadence and the other showing spped and time.

Ditch the computer,useless on a turbo and get a heart monitor/power meter and actually make good use of your turbo sessions 😀

Kurt kinetic do a computer which will measure power on a trainer and they are only £25ish. You can get one from planet x/on one. By all accounts they are pretty good for the price.

garmin 305 with cadence sensor, uses the rear wheel sensor for speed when you turn off the GPS and gives you speed, cadence, heart rate plus extras. You can also programme in sessions to use on the trainer and some are already programmed on the watch. Ace bit of kit for a turbo trainer.
