Smart Indoor Bike Trainers - Are you selling?

[Joedobbs]

Hi,

 

Looking to get into some indoor cycling. Looking for an entry level smart trainer. Have checked around and bike shops in Bangkok seem to only have very expensive high end trainers.

 

Does anyone have any advice as to where to find good options?

 

Does anyone have maybe a trainer they are looking to sell? Is there anywhere online where one can buy second hand smart trainers?

 

Thanks!

Have you checked NakornThai Bike? I got a Tacx Vortex Smart from them a couple of years ago and a Neo about a year ago. Can't remember what I paid but it wasn't hugely over retail in the rest of the world.

The wife uses it now. Have you checked the various groups for used bicycles and parts on Facebook? In addition, Thaimtb has a forum for used equipment.

Thanks mate, I have checked a few facebook groups but no trainers at all!

 

Ill check that forum that you mention.

 

Cheers.

Seems to be all in Thai with no english option?

 

Would love to post there to see if anyone has a second hand smart trainer they are willing to sell.

I gather the OP is talking about the add-on kind of stand device that attaches to the back wheel of a regular bike for indoor use, as opposed to a regular fitness club-type full indoor exercise bicycle.

 

The brand of the former that I see a lot of Thai shops selling online here is Deuter, supposedly from Taiwan. Depending on the model (they have several), they seem to sell here for anywhere from $75 to $100+.

 

Lazada has quite a variety from various bike & accessory sellers. But I'm no expert on this kind of equipment, so I'm not sure how these Deuter models fit into the price-quality spectrum of things.

 

I have, however, been looking to buy exactly this same kind of thing, because the varying combinations depending on the time of year here of heat, humidity, unhealthy air, rain, searing sun, etc. (and that's without getting into trying to ride on the regular streets) have kind of put me off riding my bike outside as much as I would like/should.
