First Trainer – Advice Sought!

Hello all – I’m in the market for an indoor trainer and having initially very much fancied the Revolution, the jet like howl it produces plus the fairly stone age computer are putting me off. I’m also looking at the CycleOps range, but it’s irritating that I’ll require a spare back wheel with a trainer tyre (although this’ll still be cheaper than the Revolution).

Would the latter be a good choice? Will I be able to add a power unit to it later on, once I’ve been married long enough to avoid immediate divorce for buying it? My interest is triathlon and I have a couple of oly distance and one 70.3 coming up…I’m really keen to get some high quality training done away from the danger of New Zealand’s psycho drivers. I also want it to work well in the winter when I move back to my native Scotland next year.

All advice appreciated!!

PS Despite the dodgy driving often seen in NZ, if anyone gets the chance to ride in the lower north island I strongly recommend it. Beautiful.
