Turbo trainers

[Mickthemove]

Can anyone recommend a good VR turbo, I went to the cycloshow to buy one and was very disappointed by the offerings and the attitude esp elite! Thank you

i got a tacx booster from Costco for £215

great turbo at a good price.

i was told you can never go wrong with a tacx

I've got an Elite Qubo Digital, it's pretty good.... downside is that it doesn't communicate direct with TrainerRoad. Kinetic Road Machine gets very good reviews and 2014 models are incoming. You mention VR, maybe check out DC Rainmaker for the Wahoo KickR?

Fluid based one with a decent flywheel.

anybody with any experience re foldable ones on e bay for around the £50 figure please shout

There are only two things certain in life: death and tacxes.

Not that I've got one. I did just get an Elite Chrono (Wiggle had them at reduced price) which is a pretty basic fluid mech one but it is very quiet. Noise was my biggest worry. But the naybores haven't come upstairs to complain yet.

Hello how are you getting on with the trainer and what type is it .Sorry for being nosey

i kept looking at the sub £55 ones on e bay and Amazon and so many of them had reviews and people commented on how noisy they were , so opted for a 2nd hand Taxc one , and well impressed so far

Wahoo KickR is pretty good, my OH is on it for a couple of hours at a time and you can do strava segments on it if that's your thing. Sorry this is not constructive but I haven't had much chance to use it yet....
