Turbo trainers are a great way to keep fit if you don't always have the time to ride outside. They're also great for high intensity training to supplement your other work on the bike. There are several different types of turbo trainer on the market: magnetic, fluid and direct mount, not forgetting the alternative option - rollers.
Daniel Lloyd and GCN break down the benefits of each turbo, helping you to make the right decision when it comes to buying one.
