Okay I'm going to be buying a Wahoo KICKR CORE. I need a hybrid bike. Usage will be 100% inside for the next year most likely then I'll be going outside say once in a blue moon. So mainly indoor only but I'd like the option to use it outside but chances are I won't use it regularly outside but I will here and there.
I have a voucher to get money off a bike from
https://www.cyclesolutions.co.uk/
It has to be from that shop I'm afraid. What's the cheapest hybrid which will suit my usage and have a decent groupset / gearing for zwift? Someone tole me Shimano 105 Groupset 11 speed but that means nothing to me. I see a lot of people are using 11 speed on ZWIFT.
- Rear Wheel Size: 24" RD / 24" MTB / 650c RD / 26" MTB / 700c RD / 650b MTB / 29" MTB
- Hub Types: 130/135mm QR, 12x142, and 12x148 Thru Axle
- Adapters: Included
- Drivetrain: Cassette not included.
- Requires Purchase/Installation of New Cassette: 8/9/10/11 Speed SRAM/Shimano
Looks like it needs to be compatible with the above.
Anyway whats the cheapest hybrid that will be decent for using on zwift available from that shop. I've been told gearing will be the most important part of the spec, weight won't matter for indoor use to material can be anything, the cheaper, heavier and stronger the frame the better.
i've been told V brakes would suit my usage better than discs. because less maintenance and easier/cheaper to replace/repair.
I have a budget up to say £1200 for the bike but the cheaper the better looking for ultimate value for money. the one my mate has recommended is around the £899 mark.
