They are brilliant for controlled efforts. So whatever intervals you want really.
For me controlling resistance by simply shifting into a higher gear seems the best. I don't want any other features. I have trainer road which will display my wattage, cadence etc. on my laptop via the sensors I already have on my bike. So I can do all the training vids etc.
That said I have 3 resistance curves on mine. Which allowed me to hit sweetspot at 85 rpm on the fixed gear. So some adjustability has been handy.
I still hate it though.
I've just bought a house, and need all new white goods. But all I can focus on is a replacement for my horrible turbo when I set p the new training space.

Lmfao. Priorities right!
My last event is sept 24th so I will purchase a DD turbo on October 1st - bring on the pain

I'm the opposite. I prefer leaving the bike in a set gear and changing the resistance. I use zwift mostly because it shows me my current watts and what it should be at, how long for etc.

Yeah I think you guys are right. I already have loads of data (which I barely understand) on my rotor 2inpower + Garmin 820 combo. The more I read about active 'smart' trainers the less I see the point. Surely the benefit of a turbo is to do sweet spot intervals on fixed resistances right?
