I've been looking around for a used Computrainer but not having any luck so I'm in the market for a new one. After doing some initial research I've found that a lot of people are also pushing Wahoo KICKR as a good "real feel" trainer. Money aside, does anybody have a good argument for either of these two trainers? Computrainer seems to be the defacto standard but is that because the KICKR is so new?
My main objective is to ride "Real courses" that will challenge me and help me improve without having to create a training plan. Trainerroad.com is my likely training platform but I've yet to look into SufferFest to do a comparison. My only other variable is that one bike is 10sp while the other is 11sp but the 11sp is likely to be the one on the trainer 95% of the time.
So my question is which one has the best value for the money? Is swapping cassettes on the wahoo a bigger pain in the butt than tires? Just get a dedicated rear training wheel with trainer tires? I've read the computrainers each tires for breakfast but perhaps that's hear say...
