Looking for a Cycle Trainer

posted 5 months ago | Report

Hey cyclists and tri-athletes! I am looking to buy my first trainer. I want to keep my legs in good cycling shape over the winter, but on my own bike. I have never had a trainer, so don't know where to start. I want something pretty good quality that will last.

Thanks for any suggestions and experiences!

    I'm looking into the Kinetic ones myself. Might have to wait until after the holidays though. Unless I decide to be selfish and get myself a killer gift. Hahaha.

    I got a CycleOps Fluid. It works well. If you really want to improve your handling skills and pedal stroke look into some rollers.

    I have the CycleOps Fluid Trainer. I like it a lot. It seems to be quite durable. I say "seems" because I haven't had it all that long. But as a reasonably heavy rider, it is very solid and works well for me. The cost was also an appealing aspect of the CycleOps Fluid trainer.

    On a side note, I haven't used rollers so I can't give you any kind of comparison.
