This is the problem I'm having in that I don't like the increased resistance as I speed up. I want a more linear resistance, but am a bit weary having read reviews of how loud magnetic trainers can be. Do any of the Zwift compatible wheel-off trainers provide linear resistance or do they all work like fluid trainers?

EDIT - it doesn't have to be a well-off trainer I guess.
