How do you like that trainer? Is it quiet? Have you compared it to the CycleOps Fluid 2
I really like the 1upusa. It is quiet, you can watch TV at a normal volume. I did not actually ride a Cyclops Fluid 2, I did not want fluid after reading so much about people having leakage problems.

riding on a trainer at 25 mph is even easier than riding on the road at 25 mph with a 25 mph tailwind.
Not on this trainer. You won't ride this one at 25mph in anything but a sprint. It is harder than the road riding solo, not in a pack. If that is not enough, you can change the position of the balls in the clutch (in about 10 minutes) and make it even tougher. I am 6ft 193lbs and have ridden a few mountain centuries and the regular setting is tough enough for me.

Plus, a lifetime waranty.
