Also, you don’t need to be stuck on expensive direct-drive trainers. There is life outside them.
I changed an Elite suito for a set of dumb rollers and it was the best decision I’ve made. My indoor trainer is way more enjoyable. I’ll list what I think is relevant:
- cheaper than DD
- way more engaging
- it forces you to improve your pedal technique
- pretty easy to toss under the bed and done, no need to remove the wheels, plug it into a wall outlet, it just put your bike on top of it and ride.
There’s an excellent thread somewhere here that helped me in this decision. I’ll try and find it.
