I'm on the fence on pulling the trigger. Currently ride a Kurt Kinetic fluid trainer that is 13+yrs old.
Here are my thoughts for not buying one. Wife and I will only use it 4-5 months out of the year and 2-3x a week. We both ski and run in the winter (I also fat bike and she does fitness classes at the gym). So for us to get on a consistent training plan probably isn't going to happen. Plus when we are on the trainer, she watches her Hallmark Christmas movies and I watch my guy action movies rather than doing hardcore workouts.
Here are my thoughts for buying one: Quieter vs fluid trainer. We can both share the same bike as we are the same size. So both of us could us the same smart trainer. It would make our rides more beneficial rather than just spinning or doing a GCN workout based on feel. Other thought is my wife and I might actually like Zwift (thought I think it might get boring, not sure).
Which way should I go? Stick to the dumb trainer or get a smarty pants one? I don't think my wife cares one way or the other, but might struggle with the technology.
