Which turbo - for £70-£120 - maybe more if worthwhile?

[Fletch456]

I am in the market for a turbo and am willing to spend up to around £120, maybe more if its justifiable yet ideally less.

Do you have one you could recommend? And what's good about it perhaps.

I have a turbo I was given as a present a few years ago but it's ...well, crap to be honest. It uses a fan as resistance and you can change the the resistance level but appears to make very little difference, only when you go from 1 to 7 can you notice anything. If I vary my cadence it seems to vary, it can be uneven (one pedal stroke versus another) and if I get out of the saddle for any time the resistance seems to disappear altogether. :-(

I'd love one that has a screen and a power meter but I have a dvd player and tv in the room I can use with a training video and budget doesn't allow but would like to train indoors this winter.


Thank you

I've used a cyclops fluid trainer for the past 10 years and I use the gears on the bike to adjust the load.
There are a few threads on trainers if you do a search.
You can get mag trainer for 130 over on Ribble I've not used them, I'm not keen on the air based ones because of the noise and lower drag.

Thanks Arsen I will try to do a better search than I did at first. Cheers.
