    Kurt Kinetic Road Machine - bomb proof turbo trainer.
    What do I ride? Now that's an Enigma!

    Buying a cheap turbo is false economy.

    I'd get a cyclops jet fluid 2 or jet fluid pro (I have the pro)

    For a bit more the kurt kinetic road machines are well thought of too.

    I can imagine the possibility of buckling the wheels when on rollers, if you fall off then there could be sideways forces through the wheel buckling it.

    I can't think of how you can buckle your wheel on a turbo though (as long as the wheel is well built).
