Indoor trainer - which one to buy?

[Tough Tannie]

Hi there

This "Tough Tannie" is not as tough as she used to be and is finding the cold and dark rather unappealing these days- please give me some advise on what indoor trainer to buy.

 

I have a fair degree of experience, having done an Epic, Sani2sea, many Argus's and others. I have also used a spinning bike and various programs to help with my training in the past, so the system will not just gather dust. I have been through a number of posts on your site and realise that there is a huge range available out there - was hoping that some of you, who are actually USING various systems, could give me some input and ideas on price, product and appropriate software? I like the idea of an indoor trainer rather than a spinning bike so that I can have a better cockpit setup - is this relevant?

 

Thanx-looking forward to your input!

You can even upload the Argus route, TDF Stages, ride with Pro Teams, do the One Day Classics ... the list goes on and on

oooof, in Queenstown, freezing there in winter.

Tacx are good, depends on what you want though.

 

You can get options that link to a pc and show you various things.

also depends on how much you want to spend I guess, the primary factor.

 

But there are lots out there, just depends on your budget.
