CYCLEOPS comparrisons. or something better?
 
trying to figure out the major difference between trainers.. have looked up trainers and comparrisons in the forums history.. but couldn't really figure out what the major difference in trainers was. so, fluid seems to be better becausee it lasts longer, better quality, and less noise? and magnetic ones are just a little louder? is it going to be a big difference between a wind, and a fluid? or a mag, and a fluid? is the ultimate choice a cycleOps fluid?

I can't do comparisons since I read OTHER people's comparisons before buying my CycleOps Fluid2 trainer. What I can say is that I am sitting 25 feet from the trainer, my wife is using it, and I am computing while watching TV. No, it's not loud. Very nice, very sturdy. Make sure you get the front wheel support, too.

If you are a power rider, or can turn the cranks in the big gears, go with the fluid. Mag's tend to fall behind in this point.
