Help - Advice on Turbo Trainer needed for a novice Cyclist!

[rupbrown]

Hi All

I am just starting to train for London to Paris in June and don't get much time to train in the evenings, so want to make it as fun and as motivational as possible. I have used a traditional turbo trainer before but found it very boring, so am hoping that someone can give me advice on a "smart" turbo trainer - I believe that the brands I need to look at are bkool and tacx. Ideally I am wanting something that I can race against someone on the TV screen. I don't have a laptop, but do have a tablet if that makes a difference?!

Really appreciate any help

Cheers
Rupert

I've just got this http://www.halfords.com/cycling/tur...le-trainer?cm_re=Carousel-_-Position2-_-elite . Used it this morning for the first time and apart from being a bit noisy can't fault it so far. To be fair the noise is due to my rear tyre so I have a trainer tyre coming from wiggle. Ah, sorry, see you want a smart trainer.

If you can shell around £500 or £40 a month x12 then the Bkool Pro would be fit for purpose.

Just to muddy the waters,

Tacx Smart Vortex or Bushido or Neo

Link it to Zwift and it'll help you in your training needs
