For £300 over a Cycleops normal turbo I would save the £300...... plus you would need a new cassette

it comes with a cassette - standard trainer way too noisey, that's why swmbo picked this one. due to it being ultra quiet and not needing rear wheel attached.

ok..... My Cycleops is quiet and I can do it in the living room while the family watch tv (ok, not right next to them,) but not too bad at all. Did not realise a cassette was included though

no probs - looking at a few different ones right now - still around the same cost though
