Hi,

Can anyone recommend a trainer the would be good for 2 people to share? This is for a friend and his Mrs. I think they are both running 11 speed cassettes.

I’m trying to give some advice on whether to go for a wheel on or a direct drive trainer. It would have to be easy to swap bikes over and around £500.

If both bikes have compatible drive trains (same cassette) then get a direct drive trainer if you can afford it - they’re much quieter and generally have a better ride feel. Switching bikes is simple on any turbo.
