Am a basic bitch, mine is a very old Tacx vortex smart turbo. The frustrations of punctures could lead me to migrate. Though other half had been threatening to start using the turbo - we set her old hybrid up and she did a couple of sessions but hated it. Given her bike is 9spd and my turbo bike is 10spd a direct drive trainer was not going to work for both of us.
Tacx is ok but can’t handle sprints at all.

9 to 10 speed is a cheap problem to have!
Glad its not 11 and 12, thats a whole new level of fuckery.
Get a direct drive turbo, you use it fair bit, you wont regret.

Use it in erg mode with a 9s cassette and you’ll be fine. I haven’t changed gear in 6 months on my turbo

I never had issues like this on my wheel-on trainers. Assume you're trying different brands of tubes? What size tyres are you using?

I am shocked to know that you dont have a direct drive trainer!
