This could be the answer to my short term injury problem:
http://www.evanscycles.com/products/minoura/e-rda-80-trainer-ec016844
I am sitting in the house climbing the walls with a cracked rib after a recent off. It's taking forever to heal, still no better after 10 days! No way am I venturing out on the bike until I feel that I am fully recovered, as the roads are in such a state around here that it would be foolhardy to say the least. Vibrations from potholes and generally crap surfaces don't mix well with a rib injury as previous experience has taught me! I would hope to get usage out of it during the frequent bad weather we suffer in this part of the world.
I was thinking about getting a turbo trainer anyway; this episode has just made me think about getting it sooner rather than later. I like the looks of the above turbo trainer and the reviews on Evans site are good. As a bonus, it works by friction on the wheel rim rather than the tyre which can only be a good thing? Should be able to get it on their price promise guarantee for £170 rather than the £188 they want for it, as a couple of places are selling it at the lower price.
Anyone got one and what do you think of it?
