FS: Kurt Kinetic Fluid Trainer

**vinyl** · 10-31-2012, 10:35 AM

I have a Kurt Kinetic fluid trainer that is collecting dust since we've picked up a spin bike for the house. Asking $150 (including riser) and would prefer local delivery/pickup (Summit County, CO, but I travel to the Front Range quite a bit).

ahh, I'm in the market to buy one but am in Canada! With shipping and duties it would probably cost the same as getting a new one...

That's an awesome deal! Hopefully someone will snap it up quickly!!

Soooo tempting. I have a perfectly OK Cyleops but have wanted to try the Kurt. Live way south of you (Westcliffe/Custer County) but also get to Denver/Front Range regularly. If you don't sell it in the next week be in touch, I'll be headed to Springs/Denver the weekend after next...

This is a really good deal! I purchased one last season and it serves the purpose well.

I love the trainer (well, probably as much as you can love any trainer). This has become a real estate issue for us - we either store 2 bikes (1 44cm, 1 62 cm) and the trainer in a small house, or 1 spin bike that adjusts to fit both of us.

Vinyl..what kind of spin bike do you have? I'm thinking a trainer is more practical, but if I'm spending the money, would a good spin bike be a better workout?

**vinyl** · 11-02-2012, 10:33 AM

We ended up with a CycleOps Indoor Cycle - it has a freewheel hub (most spin bikes do not) which should be easier on bad knees. I'm not sure if a spin bike would really be a better workout... that part is usually up to the user! I think it's really a matter of personal preference. A spin bike might offer a few more hand positions, and is a better clothes hanger because there is no exposed grease!

I'm really interested but got two things working against me:
1. I live in Atlanta so it would have to be shipped
2. I'm a social worker who just went back to grad school= I'm broke. If you could lower the price, I'd grab it but I can't do $150.

Let me know if you're willing to work something out! I could do paypal!

The UPS ground shipping estimate I got this morning is about $40 (it's a 30+ lb package), and I'm not sure I can justify dropping the price enough to accommodate that, sorry.

Hey Vinyl,

Will you do $160 shipped? If so, I'd make this my Christmas present

**Jordyne** · 11-15-2012, 12:35 PM

point taken

Just wanted to put in a plug for this trainer... I have one and I'm a big fan. Super solid, stable and smooth.

**Jordyne** · 11-15-2012, 02:57 PM

Do you guys use a trainer tire? Does it wear down your back tire if you don't?

**VeloVT** · 11-15-2012, 05:10 PM

I don't have a special tire that was designed for trainer use, but when I put one of the niches on the trainer for the winter, I switch out the regular rear tire with a tire from one of a few sets we didn't love on the road, either for durability, rolling smoothness or aesthetic reasons.
