I've read numerous reviews online and there's a lot of positive noise around the Wahoo Kickr and the (notably cheaper) Tacx Flux, but I wondered whether any of you have experience of either of these, or others and can offer any recommendations or criticism?
Or if anyone has a smart trainer I can borrow/try out just to see whether it's something I'll actually get on with before taking the plunge, that would be AMAZING...!
Thanks all,
Ellie.

Everyone says they are pretty boring....
Thanks Tony - you're right, nothing beats the real thing!
Edward - may I?? That would be really useful, I'll PM you. Thanks!
Hey Hey,
Just pulling back an old topic.
After the really muddy ROFL last week I decided to buy a smart trainer to support my winter miles.
I thinking about this one:

Does anyone have experience?
Thanks.

Hi,
I have got a Qubo Digital Smart B+, easy to use and interface with the usual stuff like heart rate monitor and the iphone. Use mainly for interval sessions, up to 1h30, otherwise I have to agree that it can become boring.These things can be used with Zwift to make it more social and race against other people worldwide.
Don't know the other turbo trainers, but there is nothing like trying them. You are are welcome to borrow mine.
You are welcome to borrow mine.
Zwift was my main idea, I am quite limited in my choice as it needs to be used with true axle
I Have a Tacx Smart Turbo.
+ Points: The software is fantastic. Interval Training, HRT & uploading routes to your iPad or PC to make the training experience even more enjoyable it's fantastic.
- Aftercare. I've broken my turbo after 2 years of use :-( The back roller motor has completely died on me, so no uploading from the bluetooth to my iPad for any of the above tricks. Repair or replacement has so far been a nightmare.
So ill probably end up getting a new turbo !!
We have this one at home which I believe is one of the best value smart trainers on the market. - Bkool Smart Go

I have nothing to compare it to but works fine and watching actual videos and chasing random spanish people is better than watching the wall. I think most smart trainers will work with multiple software systems, as will this one, but haven't tried anything beyond the Bkool software yet.
As ever DC Rainmaker has written more than you need to know on this topic, and looks like a 2017-18 comparison article is due pretty soon
