    Ok you can take the cassette off your bike if you want to. U will need a few basic tools and there are loads of youtube vids. Failing that you can buy another all you need to know is weather you run shimano or sram gears and the size of your smallest and largest cog at the back. I am guessing...

    I would look at a direct drive smart turbo. Saves you having to put a turbo tyre on your back wheel and they can be almost silent. I was sprinting every 5k on ours the other afternoon while little un slept thru it. The kickr core is very good we also have the cheapest tacx direct drive smart...
