Turbo Trainer Elite Crono v Qubo

JimboM

Being a total fair weather rider, I'm currently using the 'it's too cold' excuse so am looking at getting a turbo trainer. Read a few prior posts and the Elite Crono Fluid gets a fair few recommendations but I've missed the £140 Wiggle offer and it now seems to be £180.

For that price I can get a Qubo

Can't find much about the Qubo though so does anyone know what the difference is between them, is one better than the other or is one just a newer version of the other

Cheers

I believe that the Qubo is the higher level trainer. The base should be more secrure than the Chrono plus the main attaching mechanism is quick release, which is meant to be superior to the screw method on the Chrono.

Although Wiggle don't currently sell the Qubo you can look up reviews of it on the site

If you purchase via one of the cashback sites (I use Topchasback) you can get 3% back at Merlin.

Thanks, I've bitten the bullet and ordered a Qubo, got it from Ribble though, £165.55 after the additional 10% discount they have today plus another 2.1% TopCashBack
