I'm about to give into a Cycleops Fluid 2 trainer since the snow's not going to melt this weekend. It and the fluid trainer from Kurt Kinetic seem to garner the most recommendations when searching BF on the topic. I can get the Cycleops locally for sure.
Younger friends still racing locally all use the Cycleops Fluid 2. <cough> So does pcad... <cough><cough> Don't let that disuade you.
