trainers, trainers, trainers....

I had a cheap trainer from Performance that I ended up never using. My problem with the trainer was that the resistance was too high. I never felt like I could warm up, even in the lowest gears.

Edit: After following the link to the Nashbar trainer, I see that it has adjustable resistance, which is a good sign.

Last year I bought a 1upusa trainer that allows me to adjust the resistance (between my bike and the trainer.) It cost 3x as much as my old Performance trainer, but I've already used it waaaaaaay over 3x as much as I ever used my Performance trainer, so I figure I'm way ahead.

Your Mileage May Vary....
