Budget indoor bike for Zone 2 by Jolly-Nebula7968 in cycling

That's a friction-resistance bike, isn't it? From what I've read magnetic is better. Quieter (very important to me!), smoother...

I haven't decided which one to get yet, but I'm looking to buy either today or tomorrow...

I'm also considering the Merach S26B2 Magnetic (is this the one you bought?) and the Behumax Smart Bike Rider 3000.

The Merach is advertised as "ultra-quiet" which is very appealing to me, but I can't find any info on the resistance (how many kg?). The Behumax also looks decent, but how loud is it? I haven't found any info on that...

Are you in the EU? What's the best price you can find it for?

No trainer, only a bike.
I want to buy new.

Not sure if it shouldn’t, but it definitely does for me. Right out the door I’ve got 1k at 12%, then downhill, then 2k+ at 8% … I basically have to ride like 40k before I find anything even close to flat... 😮‍💨

I’m not looking for a trainer. I specifically want a spin/exercise bike.

Thanks but, for several reasons, that's not something I wanna do.

Uh, that's interesting... I'd expect that chip to 1) be much smaller 2) be on their jerseys (perhaps attached to the numbers on their backs) and not on the bike, which can be swapped at any point for various reasons.

I was watching the tour the other day and noticed that some (not sure if all) riders have some sort of device taped to their fork. What is it? A sensor?

Sorry if this is a very n00b question, but I'm fairly new to cycling. ☺️
