Hi all
Had a great ride in the sun on the Wirral yesterday, but the weather today is depressing, as is the forecast. Been thinking about gettinga turbo for a while, and now about to pull the trigger.
I've never had a turbo before -- so plz forgive my ignorance :oops: -- but having done some reading I've come to realise that most peeps use a separate wheel, tyre, and cassette for their turbo. This seems sensible but I'm on a bit of a budget and so prefer not to spend more than £100 on wheel, tyre, and cassette if poss.
As for the tye, I understand that the best choice is:

Regarding a cassette, would the following work OK with my Campag Veloce (10-sp) set-up?

Finally, the wheel. Cheapest I seem to be able to find is this:

Am not entirely sure what the seller means by 'TAKES OLDER TYPE SCREW ON FREEWHEELS'... Also don't know whether it would work with a 10-sp cassette :?.
I suppose I could go for a Shimano WH-R500, like in the link below, but if I can save a few pennies, that would be good.

One final noob question: when swapping over between the normal road wheel and the turbo wheel, do you normally have to adjust the rear derailleur? I would hope that by opting for a 10-sp (which I use normally as well) this would perhaps not be necessary, but...
Thanks a lot in advance for your advice!

you need a 10 spd campag pattern wheel0 -
Thanks!
Only just realised that my Mavic Ksyrium Elites come in Shim and Campag flavours :roll:
Checking eBay now for a Campag wheel, or some other brand where it specifically says it's compatible with Campag. I guess this would work then:

Hm, just spotted a cheapo wheel on the Halfords website that's supposed to "fit most town and trail bikes and road bikes", whatever that means exactly:

As I said: hmm.0
