I had some saved links I'll dig up.
But a CL kurt kinetic, add their little "inride" meter, and for sub $400 you've got a "good enough". Or like robby said, just use a trainer road compatible model(they list dozens I thought).

Got the kickr setup mysef. Its pretty solid. Linked with trainerroad its a sweet setup. Id prefer an erg trainer before a power meter set up for indoor traing. Keeps it intresting

new plan:
kinetic road machine 2.0 from CL [~$200 lol spendy]
and the ant+ USB stick [~$35]
going long grandma. Be prepared for zwift screenshots. Thinking about re-configuring my office to have my TT bike and this trainer in the back hehe. Maybe my crappy dual 24" screens will be fine for zwift

So more or less what I recommended.
p.s why ANT+? USB?
I'd just go a BT cadence/speed (or the inride)

i think that adapter is $200? [does provide more accurate power readings tho], but the zpower estimate w/o it is fantastically consistent [if innacurate] which is all that matters yea?
I thought Ant+/USB is what you need on a PC/Mac for zwift?

You will be happy with the setup OP. If you want to increase resistance change a gear, screw that fe-c crap.
P.S. join the clusi trainerroad team, there are 5 whole members, none of which are active. It's a great team!

yea unfortunately I have had my race wheel on it for a little bit [GP-4000s-II], I'm swapping to a beater wheel next time, was just test fitting it really.
I had just moved all my fans to the garage for the winter too heh
ordered a ant+ speed/cadence sensor and a USB ant+ doo-hickey today
hoping the software/immersive/gaming side of zwift/trainer road keep me motivated
after one session on it last night I was ready to put it back on CL lol

I liked mine in the garage, but definitely sweat buckets. Helps the garage was like barely 50 (and I took shirt off). No fan at that time though.
I used it for quality(intervals) of quantity(because kill me now).

yea theres no way I'm doing anything more than 30 minutes at a time unless theres some kind of sea change experience of how awesome the trainer is under software/apps
truthfully I just wanted to sorta simulate building up my base miles a bit
bike commuting I seem to be parked at 50/week $Because_Reasons

Tris are only for people that suck at three things! Easier to pick just one

I'm jealous as fuck (ridign sucks right now)
However, one question, why does it look like your bike is in your office?
