Hi
I have young children (1 and 3) so generally can't leave the house after work! I want to get some cycle training in so am considering buying my first turbo trainer. I really like the idea of Zwift (and the other similar alternatives) so have decided I would like a smart trainer (ANT+/bluetooth). I am poor (did I mention the kids already?) so am trying to find the cheapest turbo trainer that will work properly with Zwift (i.e. so that zwift can auto adjust resistance etc). Can anyone recommend a cheap one that will satisfy my requirements? Thanks.

Second hand wheel on smart trainer. You can pick Tacx Bushido's up cheap, but they're awful. I'd steer clear having had one. Far too much slippage and slow to react.I ride a bike. Doesn't make me green or a tree hugger. I drive a car too.0

Tacx flow from Halfords is £200 new
Second Hand Tacx Vortex (better) is £150-200 ish
Refurbished Wahoo Kickr (better still) is £3000 -
The only thing I'd add to think about is noise. If you've got young kids do you need to train whilst they are sleeping? In which case a Kickr ain't quiet (unless we are talking the new one....)0

Tacx Flow is great as a cheap option. I've just upgraded to a Direto as I'm getting more into my indoor training but I was very happy with the Flow. Check out ebay as I'll be putting it up for sale soon
