Last week I broke my Minoura MagTurbo Rollers, been using it for almost 4 years well during the winter season, and I said to myself its time I buy myself a Trainer, went out to the Local Bikeshop and I bought a Tacx Trainer, this is great its like riding out in the road with this trainer, I will be filing up miles of heavy workouts on this "Trainer". :lol: :eek: :D

Way up there in Canada I would probably spend more time on one, but where I am it's rare that we can't ride year round. I do use mine occasionally (did 94 grueling trainer minutes today - cold rain outside).

I have the type that clamps in the rear wheel only, but I think if I used one more often I would rather have the roller kind, I've never tried one but it seems like it might be less boring.

Good luck with yours...
