Ive had a look around and i could get a schwinn spinning bike for pretty much the same price as a turbo. has anyone else opted for a spin bike rather than a turbo? i am put off from a turbo because i cant be bothered to set it up everytime i wanna use it and the wear on my types (only have the one bike). any advice?

I bought a Tacx turbo andit litterally takes 5 mins to set up. You couldeven leave the turboskewer in. Plus when not in use it folds flat.
I wondered about tyres as I had Schwables that were very thin summer race tyres and were showingsigns ofwear. Answer I found was Continental Gatorskins, They still look brand new- very durable.
Go for the turbo.
only been on a spinner twice and bloody hated it,
far better to get used to your racing position on your own bike.
Obviously a turbo allows you to ride and get used to your own bike and would be the no1 choice of most.
But just a different 'spin' on this...
Think about who will use it though in your family - if its just you - turbo - but if others might (my wife likes a bit of cycling but wouldn't use the turbo but she would use a spin bike.) you may get more 'value' from a spin bike.
