Indoor Trainers?

CycleOps fluid trainer here too. I pair it with an Evil Coach Troy workout.

Thanks for all the feedback!!

I am dealing with a Trek store and they only sell the Cycle-Ops. I can go elsewhere of course but I quite like the people and the relationship I have with them...so I'll likely be getting one of the Cycle-Ops. Thanks again!

My husband had a mag trainer (Minoura, not Cycleops), and it was so noisy he took it back.

We watch movies while we're on the trainer, if it's not time for a round with "the evil Coach Troy" (I like that description, although I do credit him with my improved attitude about attacking hills because I can hear him saying "spin it up! spin it up! spin it up!" in my head). We couldn't stand the volume with the mag (even wearing earphones for the movie soundtrack).

A triathlete friend of his said the kurtkinetic "ate tires", whatever that means.

I have the KurtKenetic trainer and love it. I've had it for 2 years. the "ate tire" means that the rear tire will wear out quicker because it is on the fly wheel. I just bought a cheap road tire and it was fine. I also do the "evil coach Troy" and I really saw an improvement. The resistance is also very good.

Anyone have experience with the KurtKinetic Rock and Roll? It looks interesting.

We have it, but we haven't unpacked it yet. The weather's been too nice. There's a good chance it will still be in the box a month from now, but when we get it up and running I'll post on it.

FYI - we bought a demo model. They were selling them for less than 1/2 the regular price, and less than their regular road trainer, and we just had to jump at it. Anyone who's interested should check their website ASAP b/c the new ones are really expensive.

Just ordered one. That makes a total of 4 trainers in the basement...
