Looking for a trainer
 

What kind of trainer do you guys use? I'm looking into getting one for winter. Don't need anything fancy, just one that spins.

Lemond revolution. The most road like trainer, and you don't need to wear out your rear types while doing it.

Add to what I suggested, as good as the Lemond, I don't use it that much after a year or so. I rather ride in the cold winter than riding the training. It bored me to tears and I only do it if I absolutely have to.

I have a super craptastic Nashbar fluid trainer. It's rusty and loud and I have to use a vise-grip to tighten it since the knob broke off years ago. Highly recommended.

I used the CycleOps 2 fluid trainer all last winter and would recommend you check them out I felt it was smooth and relative quiet

Picking up a Kinetic rock'n roll this winter.

Hard to beat Kurt Kinetic Road Machine for the money.

Just got a Cyleops Super Magneto Pro. It's fantastic. It's virtually silent, nice heavy flywheel for a good road like feel. The progressive resistance is very nice and works better than my old blackburn tech fluid.

I had such a bad experience with the Tech Fluid I could not ever see myself getting another fluid trainer so for me the extra cost of the spuer mag was well worth it.

I think the technology in the super mag resistance unit is way ahead of fluid trainers for feel and consistency.

CycleOps 2 fluid trainer

I ride rollers. If they work for you they are awesome. You will learn to pedal circles.

How much $$ do you want to spend? You can go nuts with those things. I went with the Cycle Ops Fluid 2. It’s a good one and I’m happy with it.

Must be getting cold in the northern hemisphere.

Cycleops Wind. don't let the haters sway you, its a touch loud, but not offensive, especially if you turn up the tunes while you're on it... and they are CHEAP and don't leak fluid.
