    Indoor Trainers- suggestions anyone?

    Please - calling all those who have done the homework already.

    I'm noticing several brands, minoura, cyclops (something like that) -varying features. Don't really have a lot of time to research. Don't want to spend oodles of dough, but I just want something to train on when I can't make it outdoors for a ride. May want to ride to a training DVD or not.

    check out this website...... Like you I queried the TE gals and got great input concerning the 1UP USA trainer. I have been totally satisified with the product.

    Based on reviews I read here and on other forums, I just bought a 1up trainer yesterday (it's shipping--I don't have it yet). They seem really nice, from everything people have said about them. If you decide you want one, act soon, because it says on their website that they are raising the price by $50 next month (something about aluminum prices going up).

    The first year of our race team a bunch of the girls bought the 1-Up trainers because they were cheap (and the price was going up $50 if I recall). Racers give their trainers a lot of abuse (throwing them in the car, using them at races in the dirt, etc). By the end of the first season, all the 1-Ups had fallen to pieces. I wouldn't recommend them. I'm a CycleOps girl myself.
