Hi .
With winter around the corner I'm thinking of buying a turbo trainer, I would like to,sit thiamin the living room, so I want something relatively quiet, I want something that offers increasing resistance as well
Would you suggest the roller type, or turbo Rainer type, and any specific recommendations without going crazy on the price

Buy rollers. The novelty of turbo trainers and the racket/tyre wear will soon wear off. There is no such thing as a quiet turbo trainer. You''ll end up buying a computer with rear wheel fitting kit and turbo tyres, what a polava.
There was a thread on here about a bloke selling his turbo trainer on e-bay and in his description he explained how much he hated the thing. very funny - pity you missed it.

I know exactly the thread you're on about, but I can't remember the wording he used to describe his device of torture - but it was very funny!pinarello001 wrote:Buy rollers.

I tried rollers a few years back and found them very hard to balance on. Try before you buy!1998 Kona Cindercone in singlespeed commute spec

And you can simulate a hill with a turbo but not with rollers.
I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0 -
