Indoor Trainers, are the cheap ones ll horrible?

[NotSoBigBen]

Nothing wrong with bthe cheap trainers, I've got a Giant trainer, and have tried hard to break it. If you use high intensity intervals, it is too tiring to get bored, just make sure that you've got a bucket next to you to vomit into

Also have one of those for a quite a few years, just won't die (though sometimes I wish it just would   ) - it's been lent out to a few mates and work colleagues for various reasons and trust me they have not been careful with it and it just keeps on going.

 

Also have rollers which I prefer but it takes some finesse to stay on them AND put in a decent training session.

 

These days unless it's been raining for 2 weeks straight or below -10 for a while I make the effort to go outside and ride rather, takes a special kind of person and commitment to do more than 45mins on any kind of indoor trainer IMHO

If you do buy a cheaper one - consider a second hand quality one - some of the cheapies don't make enough resistance to be useful at all.

 

Good trainers don't break easily - so an older quality one will last for ever - been trying to break a tacx manual one for about 20 years - still perfect and wins the ride most times.

 

I do have a fance electronic one - but my normal training space in the garage has rubbish wifi signal - need to pay attention to that soon.

R1199 ex vat, if I was closer to you then I would happily install it for free. Its really easy to do though and the signal is awesome.
