Tech Guides For Cycling
From choosing the right cycle computer to Zwift compatibility, these guides help you get the most out of your cycling gadgets.
Turbo Trainers Guide
Most turbo trainers work by fixing to your bike frame with a clamp around the quick release skewer of your rear wheel. This puts your bike into a position where the rear tyre will sit on the turbo trainer’s roller drum. As you begin to pedal, your rear wheel spins and the roller drum turns. Others work using a Direct Drive set-up where the rear wheel is removed and the frame mounted directly to the trainer.
