Recommendations for turbo trainer fans? Is there an industry standard one?
Cheers!

Turbo trainer noob here…
Bought a Tacx Flow off my mate today, do I need anything else to get on Zwift i.e. sensors etc?

It should connect via Bluetooth to your laptop / iPad / phone automatically

I’ve got the same turbo and didn’t need one with a MacBook or iPad. I think you only need ant+ if you want to connected sensors for more accurate watts, heartrate (if not Bluetooth) and rpm etc. It’s worth trying out zwift with basic kit to see how you get on and then adding more if you need it.

Bro had to move back in with me and is self-isolating but wants to keep up with exercise indoors. I suggested he use my turbo trainer but he would need to clip-in shoes. Can anyone recommend a cheapish pair he could grab for this purpose?
Thanks!

I need a bike during corona times. Single speed, black… sub 350/400?
I live in Berlin so will mostly likely get stolen but recommendations welcome.

why would you build on a 'piece of shit' frame?
you can't polish a turd.
