May 10, 20206 yr Any of you good folk got/use one of these? If so, are they any good? Considering getting one as opposed to cycling up the hill of death I live on. Where would I get one at a reasonable price?

May 10, 20206 yr I have one of these: https://tacx.com/product/blue-twist/ It's ok, pretty stable. There's a cable to alter resistance but mine is a devil to shift. It's pretty old though so that may be why.

There's a cable to alter resistance but mine is a devil to shift. It's pretty old though so that may be why. I’ve got one of these too. Got mine from decathlon. I just set the resistance once and then alter is it using your gears rather than the cable. Having said that, not used mine in months. Bores me shitless, much rather be out in the fresh air.

May 11, 20206 yr Just having a look at this Watt Bike Atom Its a full indoor bike rather than a turbo trainer, looks the business £1,599 means it ain’t cheap but a decent smart turbo trainer is £500 and that’s before you’ve stuck a bike on it
