Indoor Trainers- suggestions anyone?

[WrensMom]

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).

Thanks girls! And thanks for the price increase warning - very helpful.

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.

I have a cyclops fluid 2, so far so good. This winter will be its first big test.

I use a rim drive trainer. I didn't want to have to worry about going through rear tires, so I got a Minoura rim drive. I've had great luck with it. It's not too loud and provides A LOT of resistance if you want it to. I had a cyclops wind jammer in the past and it was so noisey, plus it wore down my rear tire to much.

I am new to the world of trainers,but want something I can work on when the weather is not cooperating here. I do not want to spend a lot and I came across a sale on a '05 CycleOps Mag Trainer. Any thoughts??
