Smart trainer vs. Dumb Trainer | Does it make you a better cyclist or triathlete?

Are smart trainers worth the expensive cost, or are dumb trainers good enough to make you a powerful cyclist or triathlete? That's what I'm going over today. Learn all about the differences between smart interactive bike trainers and dumb non-interactive bike trainers, as well as learning about whether erg mode is worth it for Zwift, TrainerRoad, The Sufferfest, or more. Specifically, taking a look at the Kurt Kinetic Road Machine and the Kickr Core.

Trainers and gear discussed in the video:
Saris H3 (Particularly good for ERG mode users): https://amzn.to/2Y6Idgr
Wahoo Kickr Core (What I bought; very quiet): https://bit.ly/2VW8ivO
Tacx Neo 2t (Great road feel, very accurate, silent, road simulation): https://bit.ly/3eO6lKJ

This video specifically covers the difference between smart and dumb bike trainers, how much they really matter, whether or not you need a smart trainer, how much erg mode makes a difference in your cycling workouts, and what I ultimately recommend you buy.
