Trainers

I did a quick search for trainers by clicking "search", then "advanced", then used keyword "trainers", searching only the "cycling training" sub forum.

If you do that you'll get several threads discussing trainers, as well as a bunch of other stuff that has the same keyword, but you should find some good info.

Here's one of the threads:

I have a Travel Trac magnetic trainer that works pretty good, I think it was a little over $200 new and I bought it on sale.

A lot of the folks on here prefer the fluid type trainers because they are quieter and have a more natural resistance curve. I've never used one of those....

Sorry if this has been discussed before (I tried searching) or in the wrong section, but Im looking to buy a trainer between $100-200. Between magnetic, fluid and rollers which is better for resistance training? Also looking for some recommendations but would like to keep it under $200, cheaper if possible.

If you're going to use it quite a bit, I would recommend spending a little more and getting a nicer one you will enjoy using. 1upUSA is the best I've ever had.
