anyone recommend a trainer?

A number of the trainers have a "quick change" system for switching bikes. The Kurt makes it very easy.

1+ on putting slicks on the mtn bike on the trainer, or at least the rear tire. You don't have to change the front. Otherwise it's like the world's biggest vibrator, and not in a good way.

I have a small, very cheap TV with DVD player that sits in front of the bike. Usually I train to either Spinervals or Endurance Film's Ride series. I think using the training DVDs makes me work harder and makes the time go faster.

My mountain bike has slicks on it right now for road riding. The ticks got so bad on the trail this last season i just got tired of it. I will suggest this to my hubby too. He doesn't have slicks. .

You might also want to consider rollers I think it might be more fun to have rollers when you're stuck inside I have a fluid trainer now but have been eying the rollers. I find the trainer mundane.

Rollers are supposed to help with balance and cadence. They also come in different diameters, which determines the resistance
