Thinking of jumping on the Turbo bandwagon this year and am considering this offering from Halfords that is in my price range with a British Cycling discount also.... http://www.halfords.com/cycling/turbo-trainers/trainers/tacx-flow-t2240-smart-turbo-trainer Seems to fit the bill with all the talk of Zwift. Any comments / advice out there?
