WTD: Turbo - ideally cheap, smart and quiet!

g0g

Broke my collarbone and going nuts not being able to cycle outdoors. Swore I'd never buy a turbo but this might help spin the legs for now and I would love to try Zwift etc in future if I get one. Anyone have a used one they're looking to offload? How cheap can you get a reasonably smart one?

I upgraded my turbo after my own crash, so was going to list my Elite Turbo Muin, with misuro b+ sensor (but no cassette), at €225 (currently 450 on halfords).

It's not smart, but is direct drive and is quiet - pretty much just the drive train noise, so dependent on your indexing and maintenance!

Works with TrainerRoad, not sure on Zwift, as I think they can be funny regarding "virtual power". The "Power" it broadcasts isn't accurate compared to my single sided power meter, but did seem to be consistent in my limited testing (Once I had a power meter, I just used that).

Thank you very much for the reply. Sounds good, but that (combined with cassette cost) is a bit more than I was hoping to spend. Hopefully you can do a deal with the other poster!
Anyone else got something to offload?

Yours, if that's an asking price offer and we can work out collection?

It is heavy (the cost of the road like feel of the flywheel), so you'd need a car or cargo bike!

I have a Cyclops brand new and still have the box. I put it together, tried it for 2 minutes, then put it in the shed. Works with Zwift and has sensor and ant dongle.
