Product Description

A common problem with training inside is the feeling that it's nothing like riding on the road. CycleOps made the Fluid 2 Rear Wheel Trainer with resistance and a flywheel that bring an uncanny outdoor feel to your indoor workouts. The power curve, which is the basis for the Fluid 2 Rear Wheel Trainer's technology, finds the point at which speed overlaps with watt output.

Strengths:    Smooth, simple and easy. Great customer service.

Weaknesses:    Not adjustable, lacks tension for some types of strength workouts.

Bottom Line:

Pricy, but a great trainer. Resistance is smooth, though at around 12 minutes, there is a small change in resistance as the unit has heated up.

After conversations with my LBS, I would stick with a fluid trainer, as I tend to destroy mag trainers. I am riding about 250 hours/year on an indoor trainer... so it sees a lot of wear.

Strengths:    Very realistic resistance curve. Quiet to operate. Solid construction. Light enough to move and folds up well after assesmbly for easy storage.

Weaknesses:    No way to increase resistance (i.e. simulate hills), instruction sheet sucks, but assembly is easy enough to figure out on one's own.

Bottom Line:

The resistance it offers feels a little greater than that of the road, which is fine by me. Lives up to the billing that resistance increases with increased cadence. Overall, I'm very satisfied with this product and will use it whenever the weather is inclement.
