I have one of those Tacx trainers where you just put your bike in. It's a hassle. You need to use their own quick release to hold the bike in place. The cord with the gear shifter (which sets the resistance) is always somewhere where it's annoying the rider and the shifting control itself doesn't fit on all handle bars. It's also really noisy. I have been tempted very often to just buy one of these ready to use training bikes because of the frustration of: put some yoga mat cut-outs underneath the Tacx to suppress the vibration of the spinning weight, get the bike from the cellar, exchange the quick release, store the old one somewhere where it's not getting lost, put the bike in place by its rear wheel, place the front wheel in a fixed position, get a fan to put in front of the bike trainer, mount the gear shifter, which clumsily hangs on the handle bar because my handle bar is too big. (It's a standard road bike handlebar) Did I mention this thing was really loud? I'm also sometimes worried about the fixed pressure on my carbon frame but I think that's actually unreasonable.
