Turbo Trainer with watch Help!

boysinblack

Anyone care to give me some help! New to cycling and got a present of the Garmin 920 at Christmas! However I am now finding it very hard to get out for cycles due to work and weekend commitments.

Thinking of investing in a turbo trainer to get some miles in! However I havent a clue what the difference between spending 100 and 500 on one is? Should I get one that links up with the watch or is that a waste? All I guess I want is my heartbeat which the watch does and how far I have gone on the turbo , would a cheaper version do all this for me?

Get a decent turbo for about 100-200. Then also get ant+ cadence and speed sensor. It's mounted to the back wheel and this pairs with your watch. Either on the road on on the turbo you get the stats on watch.

Go for a used fluid based turbo, eg cylceops fluid 2. Pair with a garmin speed/cadence sensor. Bingo virtual power. Sign up for trainer road. Its awesome, trust me.

Yeah they are perfect.
You can find cadence and speed sensor for about 30 or less locally I'm sure.
My LBS has Giant one for 29.99. Works perfect with my Garmin.
