Hi,
I'm new to road cycling and after a nasty ski accident am just trying to return to some kind of fitness. It would be great to have a simple set up at home that i could jump on and get something done as the weather has been so rubbish recently and the roads around here pretty treacherous. thinking of either a turbo or rollers(bit scared of falling off these though!). i live in a 1st floor flat, so noise is a consideration.
Could I have some suggestions please
John

    I'd go with turbo over rollers if you plan to do really hard sessions on it.

    Turbos vary enormously in how loud they are (go with magnetic or fluid resistance rather than air fan resistance). But most transmitted noise will be vibration anyway so a sheet of dense foam rubber (like super duty carper underlay) under the turbo will help reduce noise transmitted to your neighbour below.
