Hi all,
have avoided smart trainers/indoor training for many years but with lockdown continuing and everyone I know being on Zwift now, its time.
Anyone got one for sale by any chance?
Anything i should know or avoid??
cheers!

Following this as in the same position, ideally one that is quiet seeing as I live in a flat! Not had any previous usage/knowledge so any advice is welcomed!

I bought an Elite Suito just before Lockdown 1 and am happy with it. Looking at DCR I narrowed the choice down to it and another which I recall having a marginal preference for but it was already out of stock. I wouldn't spend too long wondering given the way things are

I have a cyclops fluid turbo trainer which works brilliantly and is super quiet and you can get them on eBay for less than £100. It folds away well and seems to fit any bike easily, no need to mess with the wheel. With this I got a CooSpoo speed sensor which you have to have if you’re zwifting. Very cheap and syncs to my phone and laptop (Apple). I originally got the Garmin sensors and they didn’t synch with anything, even my Garmin devices, pretty useless. You might need a chest strap for pulse if you don’t have one.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
