    Hi all,

    My turbo has died - it now ejects the bike whenever you get a bit too vigorous which while exciting is not ideal. Does anyone have one they never use/want rid of?
    I'm able to pick up (sort of) and will pay obviously.

    Otherwise anyone have any recommendations on a good one to purchase?

    If money's tight you can get second-hand Tacx Swings very cheaply on Ebay. There are recent reviews of the top turbos on road.cc, rcuk etc. I want a VR one but santa's giong to have to win the lottery for that.

    ArobComp - how about mine? Tacx Satori, little used because I found out that I hate turbo training and would rather go out and get cold and wet! I have the front-wheel chock thingummer and you might as well take the indoor tyre as well if you wanted.

    That Satori is a much better turbo that the Swing.

    @kaputnik - so you didn't "Obree" it then?
