Budget TURBO vs. Budget ROLLERS, a beginners perspective |
![]() |
Staying inside, can’t get out to cycle, and don’t have a big budget… Well should you choose a set of basic cycle rollers, or a basic turbo trainer?
In this video, I’ll be comparing the benefits and drawbacks of each, from a beginner’s perspective. Prior to filming I’d never actually used any form of indoor cycle training equipment, so if you’re thinking of buying either a turbo trainer, or a set of rollers, and you’re not sure which will suit you, I’ll help you decide. Got any questions or comments, stick them below 👇 and I'll try and get back to as many of you as I can!
