I was browsing the bike section on eBay (although not really looking for anything in particular - especially if the wife asks ), and considering it's damn cold in tassie atm haven't been out riding in ages, so was looking at indoor bike trainers.
There appears to be two main types (1) magnetic resistance models that the back wheel sits on; and (2) roller type where both wheels are off the ground on three rollers. Just looking I'd think the magnetic trainer models may be more advantagous considering you can adjust the resistance Vs the roller models - but Ive not used either and this is just an assumption.
So which do farkiners prefer (assuming people still use these things) and why? And, do they work equally with an MTB with slicks as they would with a road bike?
