Re: Help old guy set up trainer? [johnthesavage]
[ In reply to ]
You will get a lot of recommendations, but my advice is to keep it simple. I have the below 'smart' trainer, and it is perfect for my needs. I ride with Zwift, and it works seamlessly with that on my ipad. I suggest putting a cadence meter on one crank as well, and then get a simple riser block for your front wheel. That's it!
There seems to be a newer edition, but this is the one I have and I love it:

I will say that it is rather heavy, but sounds like you won't be moving it around too much. I actually picked mine up slightly used for $200 so browse your local FB and craigslist.

If you're looking to cut through the crud on the internet, in my opinion you can't really go wrong with reviews, info, and recommendations from DCRainmaker:

Can you come by my house and help me set it up? ;)I replaced a 33+ year old Blackburn Mag Turbo trackstand trainer in the last several weeks with a Tacx Flow. Like you, I believe in the KISS method. There might be a point where I upgrade, but after having a dumb trainer for so long, I needed to start somewhere.
