How loud could it possibly be? Do you have sensitive neighbors?

I've got a magnetic trainer. I don't get why people say they are loud or anything. But then again I'm in sf house.

Can’t recommend you anything in that price range. Whatever you can buy for 300usd will be quite noisy anyway, so just look at what’s available around the money you want to spend and read reviews in bike magazines.

Dumb Trainer: Kurt Kinetic Road Machine. Fluid for an improved power curve. Doesn't leak like the others.
Smart Trainer: Kickr Snap.

Why is there a power gap between the cheap ones and expensive ones? Like they go from $300 to $1200 for the brand name ones

anyway OP I'd check marketplace and craigslist for really any of the above used. wheel off is probably better than wheel on and attainable for $300 if you're willing to shop the used market

Cheap ones are just magnets sticking close to each other or some fluids passing throug a tiny hole. Maybe they have a power sensor based on empiric data (brake position and revs x min).

Expensive ones have PID controllers that need to guarantee the simulation of increase and decrease load as you step up a hill. Or even harder keep a fixed power load on your legs even if you spin slow or faster.

Its a big difference.

OR if you're really down to clown look for a set of rollers
won't be able to zone out and watch animu but might help develop smooth pedaling and bike handling skills
and you can get used kreitler rollers for $300 all day long

first option Something from used market. Good especially if the seller is some old dude or lady who can barely put 100 watt on the pedals.
Second option, a simple trainer like the ELITE Qubo is a good choice (was mine before I moved to zwift hub). But Im from europe so not sure if they sell these in US.

Just get an 9ld Schwinn excercise bike for $20. Trainers don't make you better at riding a bike, it's just a piece of cardio equipment. They definitely don't make you stronger, either.

Keep your eyes peeled on eBay. I scored a Kinetic by Kurt fluid trainer for less than $150 a couple of years ago
>>1971578
A trainer isn’t going to make you a better rider the same way that getting out and training will, but it’s still a good tool that will allow you push yourself when going out for a ride isn’t feasible. A good fluid trainer can decently mimic resistance like you would encounter riding outside.

Buy rollers instead, super cheap so you won't feel bad when you stop using them to just go back outside instead because it's fucking boring to ride indoor
Jokes (or maybe I'm serious) aside, you have to keep balance on the rollers, so you won't fall asleep while pedaling
I strongly recommend putting the rollers inside a door frame so you can avoid tipping over

they have power meters on bluetooth
so you can play zwift and stuff
I tried it and hated it, and already had a power meter. Kind of stuck with it now thoguh, I have a tacx flux s. It's floppy as shit get a metal framed one, but now everyone's into motion pads and rocking motion so maybe the slight floppiness is a good thing. It was fucking scary getting on at first, I thought it would flop me into falling off.

Don't get rollers op. I mean I have and like rollers but for the least money the wheel on trainer you have pictured can't be beat. The only thing I would say is get one that connects as a power meter or has a known power curve. I got a used kinetic for 100 as my first trainer. Having it output power lets you use it with apps if you want to.

Rollers won't work if you are running 40psi tires =(

Last winter I ebayed an "Elite Crono Fluid Elastogel" which is a hybrid fluid & magnet so you can alter the resistance but you still get the feeling of momentum. Apparently quieter than just magnetic but I wouldn't know. I like it a lot. $65
A trainer tire since I've got treads $30
Two Magene S3+ Cadence/Speed Sensors $30. They attach to your pedal and hub and the watch batteries in them last a long time.
I use the free app 'SuperCycle' it has no bullshit and connects easily. Numbers going up makes it feel less like an endless void and you can aim for a fake mileage goal etc
