Hi,

Does anyone know of turbo trainers on the market with a power display (showing watts) which is reasonably priced?

Thanks

quite few trainers display power (although, they're all estimates based on velocity of the flywheel or similar, and thus aren't overly accurate or repeatable). Tacx do several (or they used to), Elite has at least one, and others. depends though what you mean by reasonably priced.

probably, not too sure though. i think tacx used to do a Basic that estimated power -- but i have a vague recollection of it being at least £150... could be wrong though!
