Indoor Cycling- Rollers Or A Trainer?

[iRide]

I'll need to get a trainer or rollers eventually and since I don't take the heat very well I though I'd go ahead and get one now-

Which do you prefer and why, which to buy, anything I should know about them, etc. would be great! Also, what do you use and what do you think of it?

Thanks

I've got a Tacx turbo trainer you can have for £40 if you want it.

Tacx Cycle Track Speedmatic Trainer
from about 2004, hardly used.
was about £100 new.

All depends on how much you have to spend really, same as with most things.

You can get a cheapo one for £50 - £100 or you can go for a Tacx one up to about £800 or a Computrainer for £1200.

Depends on how much you intend to use it, what specifically you want to use it for (simple training / improving your cycling technique / improving power etc).

Shop around and read reviews to decide.
