Indoor Turbo Trainer advice

chiron

Hi all, its winter and as I live in a very small flat which limits where I can actually store the bike when its covered in mud, so I'm looking to get a simple foldaway trainer along these lines so I can actually remain fit for Spring and Summer and not have to learn how to go up the bloody great hill outside my flat from scratch again.

I'm ok at general maintenance but would like to confirm this would actually fit something like a Carrera Vengeance 2015(ish?), I can't actually find many details about this model of trainer but it looks decent for the money. If not can anyone suggest alternatives?

Have you considered the noise of a on wheel trainer? You can dampen the noise with carpet and mats

I’ve just googled your bike and knobblies would be a no to your question. Ideally but not essential is a specific turbo tyre.

I've long replaced the stock tyres with much smoother ones, marathons I think.

Main concern is will I need to fit a different wheel or faff with axle

The marketing blurb on the link states a 26” wheel ( mtb ) is fine and there is a image of a specific quick release spindle so you should be fine
