Shoulder operation - Need a turbo trainer - Elite Qubo Power Fluid Vs. Tacx Booster Ultra High Power Vs. ?

Had a shoulder op on Monday. Busted AC joint needed tinkering with. Arm in a sling for 2 months. Going to get seriously unfit without a turbo, so considering options. Never used one before. Amazon seems to have the best prices: £180 for the Elite and £130 for the Tacx. Any thoughts on which one might be better? The Elite seems simpler to set-up with no extra wires and automatically increasing/decreasing resistance; the Tacx has a lever for resistance, and the front wheel riser included. Any advice or other suggestions appreciated. Don't need anything with a computer on. Will get a training tyre too (any pref. on Vittoria / Elite / Tacx?). Also if the Booster is going to be too much effort for pedalling whilst sitting upright, other suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Chris

I have the tacx blue motion aka satori and I suspect it will meet your needs. I am satisfied with it in all respects.

Ouch on the ac joint op. Had one a few years ago, good luck with recovery.

On the trainer front, I have just upgraded front a tacx something to a cycleops supermagneto. The wider footprint of the cycleops makes a big positive difference and the top end resistance is much better.

thanks for the info, and well wishes.

ended up going with the cycleops fluid 2, as it seems to have the most universal praise, a nice and simple design, plus lifetime warranty. looking forward to thrashing it over the winter.

All set up, but am I doing it right with the bolt that clamps down on the ends of the QR? As pictured below the QR nuts sit inside the metal tubes either side, but the "lollypop" lever still looks like it has a fair way to go to get to the bottom locking in point on the right leg of the turbo frame. Never used one before. Don't want to squish the dropouts by doing it up too tight.
