So I need to buy a turbo trainer. It's my first one, so it doesn't need to be amazingly good, it just can't be amazingly sh*t. I'm looking at the Tranz X models on ebay for around £60. I'd just like to ask, will they do? And also, do I need variable resistance or will my gears do the job?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

    Gary - that's the intention at least. Let's see what actually happens.

    I'm not sure about the specific trainer you mention. I have a Tacx Satori that does have variable resistance, but I mostly use the gears, so I imagine you'd be fine without.
