Turbo trainer

[MellowshipSlinky]

Not sure if this should be in ‘Sports’ but it is a health matter, so...

I’ve set up a turbo trainer with my road bike but could do with a computer of some sort.
The one I’ve got doesn’t reach the rear wheel, and from what I’ve read the wireless systems don’t get a good connection from front to rear.

Anyone got a setup that works?

Thanks

Just buy the Wahoo sensors and install the app?

Thanks - never knew it existed.
However, looking at it I really don’t know what I need.

I’d suggest you’ll have a lot better luck in the pedal powered forum.

I've got these. I use them for Zwift etc. but there's loads of other apps etc. available.

That was true 10 years ago

Can you point me to one that works please.
Don’t want to spend loads as as soon as I can go out in proper rides the trainer won’t be used.
