    McQuillans on Capel Street have a trainer for around 50yoyos. I think It's a Rolson.....

    Decathlon are still selling the Tacx Satori Pro for £129.99 which is a great price for it.

    Lemlin...spotted that but out of stock. Same with the Halfords one.

    However .. gave an email address for heads-up when back in stock.

    Regards

    I dunno if I'd buy a turbo trainer from a tool shop. I wouldn't buy a drill in Cycleways.

    Guys... gonna BUMP this thread as I still haven't found anything at the right price. Halfords still showing out of stock for the 3 nearest stores to me.


    Was hoping to spend max €140 or so....money burning a hole in my pocket as I speak.

    Anyone have any updated links????

    Was going to buy the one in Halfords the other day before I spotted this one: http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=57923 I read a few reviews of both and decided to go with the Chain Reactions one. Arrived the following day. Well Happy with it for my 1st Turbo Trainer.

    You're welcome to the ones got in Halfords last month for €100 if you want.

    1 hour 35 minutes usage, and still have the receipt so you'll have 11 months of a warranty.

    Any particular reason why you're offloading that turbo trainer so soon?

    Was looking at getting one myself.

    Anyone have recommendations on brands? Tacx seem to be popular on CRC and Bike24 and I may have seen one in the LBS. Haven't considered one before now.

    What do people think of this one?

    It seems to be the same one as here, but at less money.

    Would I have to modify my bike in any way?
