I have been looking around on his behalf for both used trainers and new, I have had very little success. New wheel on trainers like the Wahoo Kickr Snap are hard to locate. Anyway my friend is determined to buy (an available) very low end wheel on smart trainer which is somewhat limited in features and he is resisting my urging to be patient and get one that is going to satisfy more in the long term. So this is a situation where someone is going to put a high end bike on a low end trainer. A bit frustrating to me but his call not mine.
