I know I've asked a couple of individuals about this but thought I'd put this on here. I'm after a trainer (ASAP) but I've never used one or even seen one in action. I have no idea how to set them up so I'm a real beginner on them. The only thing I do know is it needs to connect to computer (probably Zwift - purely because that's the only one I've heard off lol) Finally it needs to be cheap (I'm only a poor Trucker driver lol) Any suggestions

Who's up for our next pub run?
Saturday 18th April, weekend after the Easter Bank Holiday. Starting early afternoon.
We've decided to stick with the same route as last time.
Park gate Inn to Windmill, Maltshovel, Nelson, The Nags Head, The Swan and finishing at the Star.
Anyone is also welcome to join us on their bike. (Please remember a lock for outside pubs)
Is that a direct drive one do you mate?
No mate I'll send a pic of my set up.
Hi ya Ray I'm not an expert it them but I have a Trax vortex only used it a few times with Zwift but it works seems to work well (I'm new to Zwift as well) not the most expensive on the market. Like I say I've only just started to used it but it was easy to set up and along with Zwift etc. So far so good.
Hi Ray,
i haven’t got a turbo myself as I prefer to get out but after last years snow I’m looking at it.
i‘d got it down to a Tacx one which can connect to Zwift but I’m no expert I’m afraid either.
wahoo kicker seems very popular but I haven’t looked closely at that as yet.
Nick.
Heard a lot about the Tacx and they sell them at Halfords so may be able to get some discount as well 🤔 thanks Nick really appreciate help 👍👍
I think I'm looking more towards the ones where the rear wheel is removed. Must admit it's a bit of a mind field to be honest lol
To be honest I would go that way if I had my time again it was the cost that put me off and at the time I didn't know how good they were.
Just give me a shout when you want to have a go.
Thanks pal could possibly do this Sun if that's any good for you?
I have a wahoo kickr snap and it’s amazing, use it with Zwift and it automatically dials in the resistance 👍🏻
