Arrived home from work tonight and imagine my surprise when the Mrs suggests we get a turbo! "What?" I say, thinking has she been looking at my Ebay browsing history! Apparently she saw it in one of my cycling mags and quite fancies doing it while watching a bit of tv in the evening. This chaps is a veritable gifthorse and one not to be looked in the gob. What I would like to know are

- any recommendations in the £150 price bracket
- can you use a MTB on one (Mrs Calpol only has a MTB), I suspect a spare wheel with a slick tyre might be required in order to make it work??

I can use my old road bike and would be delighted to buy this item for her to use and me to sometimes borrow :) All your thoughts and opinions wellcome.

    PITA swapping between MTB and roadbike due to the different wheel sizes...

    I recommend a cycleops jet fluid 2. Howver as I said, it's not a quick job to swap between the two bikes...
