WTD: Turbo Trainer

bigbash

Hi there,

Looking for a turbo trainer if anyone is selling. Tacx Satori would be awesome but really, anything tbh.

Thanks!

Not to bounce over the op but I may be interested in this if he's not. What price, age is it? Seen much use?

Hi. I bought it s/h early last year. But it had never been used. I used it for approx 6 hours total. Just can't get the will power to train inside. It's still in new condition so would be happy to get 90euro for it. Bargain at that price.

I understand re the will power and inside cycling. Not even sure I will use it which is why I'm looking second hand in case it sits in the shed:)
I'll go €80 cash, can meet in drogheda which is half way between me and u I think(I'm in balbriggan). Let me know what u think.

One last thing; does it have a front wheel block with it? And does it attach direct to quick release wheels?

My ol' fella is up to Dublin everyday in the truck and could meet you by the Red Cow.

Mine doesn't come with the block, and fits onto quick release wheels. It actually comes with the bar that goes through the back wheel so you don't damage your own one!
It's less than a month old and has exactly 1 hour and 35 minutes on it! :eek:

Forgot to add, I'd need to be getting €100 for it though as it's basically new and comes with a receipt for the remainder of the warranty (if needed).

Hey soarer,

Unfortunately I'm nowhere near the redcow and it would be way to awkward for me to get to. Thanks for the offer tho. Can I ask why you are selling it so soon after buying it?

I have a turbo here that has barely been used.

Barely used. Couldn't be bothered using it indoors. I would need €100 for it though.

Bought it thinking I'd use it in the off season. Signed up to trainerroad too! Didn't realise that the cycling season started so early, so it's just gonna go to waste until next winter again.
Bought my bike at the end of last summer and only got a couple of months out of it too, so I've a bit of history at buying at the wrong time!

Would accept 80 if you want to collect it in Dundalk. Would have to get the 90 to deliver it to Drogheda.

I don't have a wheel block for it. I found a good hardback book works just fine. And it attaches to all quick releases.

Insidious

Whats the noise out of the Halfords one like?

Did you sell this? If the other poster drops out, i could take it off your hands in Dundalk this week at €80.
