[QUOTE=ColonelJLloyd;11897706Care to share your experience and recommendations, 20grit?[/QUOTE]

I've not actually jumped on the new trainer yet. The one before was a Blackburn that I had borrowed. After a short period of riding, various parts of it had heated up to the point that you'd burn yourself if you touched it. I'm certain this also increased resistance. I was actually given the new fluid trainer but got to choose which one I picked up. I was given a price range and the only one that fell within that price range and had decent reviews was the Travel-Trac fluid trainer from Performance. I waited and picked it up on sale and got it a little cheaper as well. I'll set it up this week and let you know how it runs. One would assume that the Kurt Kinetics/cycleops would be better given their status as higher end.
