Moving to Uni but still will be training a lot along side my degree.

Issue is thou I'm in flats and a turbo would be quiet noisy (I'm on the top floor) and I reckon it would be herd by the floor below! Tacx Satori, and the Gym as far as I'm aware doesn't have Watt bikes.

I have a set of rollers but I can't get the resistance I want with out spinning a very high gear! and for the set efforts I want to do a turbo for me is better, but I was looking at rollers with resistance units on them?

anybody got an recommendations on them or ways to make the turbo more quiet!

Cheers Alex

    I don't think rollers will be any better, tbh. What type of floor is it - wood, concrete?
  • Concrete! I'll more than likely take one and see if i can get away with it!

    Ok - wooden floors would probably have had your downstairs neighbours complaining regardless of either rollers or turbo. Concrete (modern building presumably) should give you a bit more noise/vibration damping.

    resting whatever you use on a carpet rug will deaden it down
