The issue I have is that I need to get into it as inexpensively as possible. I'd like a wheel on trainer due to it's simplicity and being able to just mount whatever bike is handy to use.

What I can't seem to figure out is if there's a wheel-on trainer that supports the ability to change resistance as you're riding. I'm reading Amazon reviews and specifications and it keeps mentioning that a model can "with a speed sensor" which is where I get stuck.

Can anyone tell me the least expensive method of getting into a Zwift-compatible trainer that can handle changing the resistance based on the Zwift ride?

Thanks for your time!
